Where it stands
Колотушка его подвязана к поясу. His rattle is tied to his belt.
Он всплескивает руками, пожимается от холода и, старчески хихикая, щиплет то горничную, то кухарку. He flings up his hands, hugs himself against the cold and, with an old man's snigger, pinches now the housemaid, now the cook.
