    • 1887, Антон Чехов, Дорогие уроки; English translation from John Middleton Murry, transl., Expensive Lessons, 1915:
      Она ни разу не улыбнулась, не нахмурилась, и только раз на её лице мелькнуло недоумение, когда она узнала, что её пригласили учить не детей, а взрослого, толстого человека.
      Ona ni razu ne ulybnulasʹ, ne naxmurilasʹ, i tolʹko raz na jejó lice melʹknulo nedoumenije, kogda ona uznala, što jejó priglasili učitʹ ne detej, a vzroslovo, tolstovo čeloveka.
      Never once did she smile or frown, and only once a look of perplexity flashed into her eyes, when she discovered that she was not asked to teach children but a grown up, stout young man.
