      Княги́ня, чу́вствуя, что на неё, как на гла́вную сове́тницу по ва́рке мали́ны, до́лжен быть напра́влен гнев Ага́фьи Миха́йловны, стара́лась сде́лать вид, что она́ занята́ други́м и не интересу́ется мали́ной, говори́ла о посторо́ннем, но и́скоса погля́дывала на жаро́вню.
      Knjagínja, čúvstvuja, što na nejó, kak na glávnuju sovétnicu po várke malíny, dólžen bytʹ naprávlen gnev Agáfʹi Mixájlovny, starálasʹ sdélatʹ vid, što oná zanjatá drugím i ne interesújetsja malínoj, govoríla o postorónnem, no ískosa pogljádyvala na žaróvnju.
      The princess, conscious that Agafea Mihalovna's wrath must be chiefly directed against her, as the person responsible for the raspberry jam-making, tried to appear to be absorbed in other things and not interested in the jam, talked of other matters, but cast stealthy glances in the direction of the stove.
  2. to look (after), to keep an eye (on)
