Knopf, 1916:Вла́дя хоте́л бы́ло взять с собо́ю в дере́вню у́дочку, но́вую, англи́йскую, ку́пленную на сбережённые де́ньги, хоте́л взять ещё ко́е-что́, да э́то всё занима́ло бы в теле́жке нема́ло ме́ста. И Вла́дя унёс обра́тно в дом все свои́ пожи́тки.- Vládja xotél býlo vzjatʹ s sobóju v derévnju údočku, nóvuju, anglíjskuju, kúplennuju na sberežónnyje dénʹgi, xotél vzjatʹ ješčó kóje-štó, da éto vsjo zanimálo by v teléžke nemálo mésta. I Vládja unjós obrátno v dom vse svoí požítki.
