      В э́тот ве́чер мно́гое каза́лось необы́чным и подозри́тельным. И поро́й до́ктор да́же опаса́лся, что глаза́ стра́нной ку́клы, чего́ до́брого, засия́ют в темноте́, как два прозра́чных ка́мешка.
      V étot véčer mnógoje kazálosʹ neobýčnym i podozrítelʹnym. I porój dóktor dáže opasálsja, što glazá stránnoj kúkly, čevó dóbrovo, zasijájut v temnoté, kak dva prozráčnyx kámeška.
