1890, Антон Чехов, Воры; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Horse-Stealers, 1921:Э́то была́ де́вка здоро́вая, смешли́вая, вертля́вая, непосе́да: то ся́дет, то вста́нет, а си́дя повора́чивается к сосе́ду то гру́дью, то спино́й, как егоза́, и непреме́нно заце́пит ло́ктем и́ли коле́ном.- Éto bylá dévka zdoróvaja, smešlívaja, vertljávaja, neposéda: to sjádet, to vstánet, a sídja povoráčivajetsja k sosédu to grúdʹju, to spinój, kak jegozá, i nepreménno zacépit lóktem íli kolénom.
- She was a healthy, active girl, always laughing and never still: she would sit down, then get up, and when she was sitting down she would keep turning first her face and then her back to her neighbour, like a fidgety child, and never failed to brush against him with her elbows or her knees.
