    • Антон Чехов, У предводительши 1885:
      На полу ковры, и шаги бесшумны, но торжественность случая заставляет инстинктивно подниматься на цыпочки и балансировать при ходьбе руками.
      Na polu kovry, i šagi besšumny, no toržestvennostʹ slučaja zastavljajet instinktivno podnimatʹsja na cypočki i balansirovatʹ pri xodʹbe rukami.
      There are carpets on the floor and their steps are noiseless, but the solemnity of the occasion makes them instinctively walk on tip-toe, holding out their hands to balance themselves.
