Foote, transl., The Golovlevs, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986:Наконе́ц Ари́на Петро́вна начала́ замеча́ть, что тут есть что́-то нела́дное. Наприме́р: с утра́ в шка́пчик, в столо́вой, ста́вится по́лный графи́н во́дки, а к обе́ду уж ни ка́пли в нём нет.- Nakonéc Arína Petróvna načalá zamečátʹ, što tut jestʹ štó-to neládnoje. Naprimér: s utrá v škápčik, v stolóvoj, stávitsja pólnyj grafín vódki, a k obédu už ni kápli v njom net.
