      Да́льше, на боло́тце, за́просто цвела́ ночна́я фиа́лка, за ним пришло́сь пересе́чь прое́зжую доро́гу, — и спра́ва забеле́лась кали́тка: вход в парк.
      Dálʹše, na bolótce, záprosto cvelá nočnája fiálka, za nim prišlósʹ pereséčʹ projézžuju dorógu, — i správa zabelélasʹ kalítka: vxod v park.
      Farther on, a bog orchis bloomed unceremoniously in a patch of marshy ground, behind which he had to cross a back road, and off to the right a white wicket gate gleamed: the entrance to the park.
