IX. Explain in English the meaning of the italicized.
The Slave Market
It chanced amongst the other people lotted
A man of thirty, rather stout and hale.
With resolution in his dark gray eyes,
Next Juan stood, till some might choose to buy.
He had an English look; that is was square
In make, of a complexion white and ruddy.
Good teeth, with curling rather dark brown hair.
An open brow a little marked with care.
G. Q. Byron

XI. Translate the following into Russian.
1. His large head was pink, his brown hair thin and dry. His face was boyish in sleep, despite his wrinkles. He was not fat but he was exceedingly well fed, his cheeks were plump and the hand which lay helpless on the blanket was slightly puffy. Sinclair Lewis
2. My father was of a dark complexion, with a very great forehead and dark hazel eyes, overhung by eyebrows which remained black long after his hair was white. His nose was aquiline, his smile extraordinarily sweet. He was of a rather low stature, not being above five feet seven inches in height; but small as he was, he had a perfect grace and majesty of deportment.
W. M. Thackeray
3. This treasured possession of his life was of medium height and colour, with short, dark-chestnut hair; her wide-apart brown eyes were set in whites so clear that they glinted when they moved, and yet in repose were almost dreamy under very white black-lashed lids, held over them in a sort of suspense. She had a charming profile, and nothing of her father in her face save a decided chin. J. Galsworthy

XII. Read the following extract from "Martin Eden" by Jack London and answer the questions given below.
He got up and tried to see himself in the dirty looking glass over the wash-stand. He saw the head and face of a young fellow of twenty. Above a square-domed forehead he saw a mop of brown hair, nut-brown, with a wave to it and hints of curls, making hands tingle to stroke it. But he passed it by, and dwelt long and thoughtfully on the high, square forehead. What kind of brain lay behind it?
He wondered if there was soul in those steel-gray eyes that were often quite blue of color * and that were strong with the salty air of the sea. Well, they were honest eyes, he concluded. The brown sunburn of his face surprised him.
His mouth might have been a cherub's ** mouth, had not the full, sensuous lips a trick *** of drawing firmly across the teeth. At times, so tightly did they draw, the mouth became stern and harsh. The chin and jaw were strong and just hinting of square aggressiveness. And between the lips were teeth that were white and strong and regular.
Notes
* color — the American way of spelling the word colour.
** cherub — A legendary being belonging to one of the orders of angels.
*** a trick — In this text trick means habit.
