    • 1905, Фёдор Сологуб , chapter XIV, in Мелкий бес; English translation from John Cournos and Richard Aldington, transl., The Little Demon, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1916:
      Людми́ла оде́лась не́сколько наря́днее обы́чного, — заче́м и сама́ не зна́ла. Впро́чем, она́ люби́ла наряжа́ться и одева́лась открове́ннее сестёр: ру́ки да пле́чи поголе́е, ю́бка покоро́че, башмаки́ поле́гче, чулки́ пото́ньше, попрозра́чнее, те́льного цвета.
      Ljudmíla odélasʹ néskolʹko narjádneje obýčnovo, — začém i samá ne znála. Vpróčem, oná ljubíla narjažátʹsja i odeválasʹ otkrovénneje sestjór: rúki da pléči pogoléje, júbka pokoróče, bašmakí poléxče, čulkí potónʹše, poprozráčneje, télʹnovo cveta.
      Liudmilla was dressed more elaborately than usual—she herself could not tell why. Apart from other considerations, she liked to dress up. She dressed more lightly than her sisters : her arms and her shoulders were a little more bared, her dress a little shorter, her shoes a little lighter, her stockings a little thinner, more transparent and of a flesh colour.
