'The guard (regardless of the proverb) [The proverb is: 'At meeting you're judged by your clothes, At parting you're judged by your wits.'] judged me by my clothes and wished to turn me out, but I began to use long words and... you too,' he went on turning to Karenin (whose Christian name and patronymic he had forgotten), 'judging me by my peasant coat were going to turn me out, but afterwards you took my part, for which I am very grateful.'
–Al contrario del refrán, el revisor, viendo mi indumentaria, trató de impedirme el paso, pero empecé a soltar algunas expresiones algo fuertes... También usted –dijo Levin dirigiéndose a Karenin, cuyo nombre había olvidado– quiso primero hacerme salir, juzgándome por mi pelliza de piel de cordero.
