    • 1892, Антон Чехов , “VII”, in Попрыгунья; English translation from Robert Edward Crozier Long, transl., La Cigale, 1908:
      Ей бы́ло сты́дно, го́рько, и она́ за миллио́н не согласи́лась бы говори́ть в прису́тствии посторо́нней же́нщины, сопе́рницы, лгу́ньи, кото́рая стоя́ла тепе́рь за карти́ной и, вероя́тно, злора́дно хихи́кала.
      Jej býlo stýdno, górʹko, i oná za millión ne soglasílasʹ by govorítʹ v prisútstvii postorónnej žénščiny, sopérnicy, lgúnʹi, kotóraja stojála tepérʹ za kartínoj i, verojátno, zlorádno xixíkala.
      She was ​ashamed and angered, and would have given millions to be spared speaking before the strange woman, the rival, the liar, who hid behind the picture and tittered, no doubt, maliciously.
