1862, Иван Тургенев , “Глава 23”, in Отцы и дети; English translation from Richard Hare, transl., Fathers and Sons, 1947:Да́же лицо́ его́ изменя́лось, когда́ он с ней разгова́ривал: оно́ принима́ло выраже́ние я́сное, почти́ до́брое, и к обы́чной его́ небре́жности приме́шивалась кака́я-то шутли́вая внима́тельность.- Dáže licó jevó izmenjálosʹ, kogdá on s nej razgovárival: onó prinimálo vyražénije jásnoje, počtí dóbroje, i k obýčnoj jevó nebréžnosti priméšivalasʹ kakája-to šutlívaja vnimátelʹnostʹ.
- His face was even transformed when he talked to her; it took on an open kindly expression, and his habitual nonchalance was modified by a kind of jocular attentiveness.
