Knopf, 2013:Супру́жеская жизнь обходи́лась ему́ ничу́ть не доро́же холосто́й; напро́тив, тепе́рь ему́ ста́ло да́же вы́годнее, потому́ что он, приведя́ в дом жену́, то́тчас же отпусти́л батра́чку, кото́рой мно́го ли, ма́ло ли, а всё́-таки плати́л рубль ме́дью в ме́сяц.- Suprúžeskaja žiznʹ obxodílasʹ jemú ničútʹ ne doróže xolostój; naprótiv, tepérʹ jemú stálo dáže výgodneje, potomú što on, privedjá v dom ženú, tótčas že otpustíl batráčku, kotóroj mnógo li, málo li, a vsjó-taki platíl rublʹ médʹju v mésjac.
- Conjugal life cost him no more than bachelorhood; on the contrary, now it became even more profitable for him, because, having brought home a wife, he immediately dismissed the hired woman he had paid no less than a copper rouble a month.
