    • 1905, Фёдор Сологуб , chapter XV, in Мелкий бес; English translation from John Cournos and Richard Aldington, transl., The Little Demon, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1916:
      — Вы, Ми́шенька, изво́льте снача́ла де́лом заня́ться два ча́сика, а уж пото́м, е́сли уго́дно, потолку́ем. Тогда́ — ско́лько уго́дно, а тепе́рь — ни-ни́, потому́ что пре́жде всего́ де́ло.
      — Vy, Míšenʹka, izvólʹte snačála délom zanjátʹsja dva čásika, a už potóm, jésli ugódno, potolkújem. Togdá — skólʹko ugódno, a tepérʹ — ni-ní, potomú što préžde vsevó délo.
      "Mishenka," he would say, "you had better do your work for a couple of hours and then, if you like, we can have a talk. Then as much as you like, but now not a bit—business before everything."
