| in parenthesis | по́ходя (букв. "в скобках": An orator makes a false step; he employs some trivial, some absurd, some vulgar phrase; in the turn of a sentence he insults, by a side wind, those whom he is labouring to charm; in speaking to one sentiment he unconsciously ruffles another in parenthesis; and you are not surprised, for you know his task to be delicate and filled with perils. (Stevenson, "Virginibus Puerisque") CopperKettle) |
