thickly dotted(as thick as huckleberries)

gain considerable fame among one's contemporaries for a time

remain perfectly silent(not speaking a word)

sit like a bump on a log(with a wooden head)

потихоньку

doom(The lot falls to one.)

be worthy of the name

keep one's mouth closed(keep silence)

monstrous lie

The people live in peace and the country is prosperous.

one's eyes could not bear the scene

look neither right nor left

be confused and flurried

too high and deep to be measured

without manners

One's face is full of joy.

win instant success

beat a retreat(blow a retreat)

buy basket without the jewels
