peer agreement (net): +1| ékeskedett szerényen meghúzódva There it stood, in all its opulence, coyly withdrawn Explanation: "coyly withdrawn" can also be "coyly retiring" or "retiring coyly". I think the word "coy" expresses well the contradiction in the image: the ostentatiousness of the bike is coupled with a modest, yet slightly flirtatious retreat. |
