Where it stands
Жена, как показалось ему, слишком легкомысленно отнеслась к происшедшему; она только испугалась, а потом, когда узнала, что Бризжалов «чужой», успокоилась. His wife, as it seemed to him, took what had happened too lightly; she was only frightened at first, but then, when she learned that Brizzhalov was «a stranger», she was reassured.
