     Первое насилие, употреблённое против него женою, показало ему, что она решилась на всё, лишь бы только от него избавиться, и что теперешнее его положение до крайности опасно.

     Pervoje nasilije, upotrebljónnoje protiv nevo ženoju, pokazalo jemu, što ona rešilasʹ na vsjo, lišʹ by tolʹko ot nevo izbavitʹsja, i što teperešneje jevo položenije do krajnosti opasno.

     This first act of violence that his wife had used against him proved to him that she was prepared for anything if she could only free herself from him, and that his present position was one of great danger.
