Кроме того ему было приятно после австрийского приема поговорить хоть не по-русски (они говорили по-французски), но с русским человеком, который, он предполагал, разделял общее русское отвращение (теперь особенно живо испытываемое) к австрийцам.
Besides it was pleasant, after his reception by the Austrians, to speak if not in Russian (for they were speaking French) at least with a Russian who would, he supposed, share the general Russian antipathy to the Austrians which was then particularly strong.
