Yesterday in example sentence
The large house with the old family furniture; the old footmen by no means smart, rather shabby, but respectful – evidently former serfs who had remained with their master; the stout, good-natured wife, in a lace cap and Turkish shawl, caressing her pretty granddaughter (a daughter's daughter), the manly young son in the sixth form of the High School, who had just come home and who kissed his father's large hand in greeting; the impressive kindly words and gestures of the host – all this had yesterday awakened Levin's involuntary respect and sympathy.
