Егорша с первых слов начал задирать нос... Он, видите ли, отпускник, а не просто там на побывку после сплава домой пришёл, и потому намерен отдыхать культурно, ибо его здоровье - это уж не его здоровье, а здоровье рабочего класса (Абрамов 1). From his very first words Egorsha started putting on airs.... You see, he was on official leave-not the same as mere time off at home after timber floating - and was therefore intending to relax in a civilized manner, since his health was not his health, but the health of the working class (1a).
