      Дрова́ уже́ и тогда́ в Орле́ бы́ли о́чень до́роги, и бе́дные лю́ди ота́пливались то гре́чневою лузго́ю, то наво́зом, а после́днее тре́бовало большо́й загото́вки.
      Drová užé i togdá v Orlé býli óčenʹ dórogi, i bédnyje ljúdi otáplivalisʹ to gréčnevoju luzgóju, to navózom, a poslédneje trébovalo bolʹšój zagotóvki.
      Firewood in Orel was already very expensive even then, and poor people heated either with buckwheat chaff or with dung, and the latter required big provisions.
