      Сквозь полуотворенную дверь из сосе́дней ко́мнаты, не перестава́я, доноси́лся сухо́й и коро́ткий ка́шель, от вре́мени до вре́мени разреша́ющийся мучи́тельною экспектора́цией.
      Skvozʹ poluotvorennuju dverʹ iz sosédnej kómnaty, ne perestavája, donosílsja suxój i korótkij kášelʹ, ot vrémeni do vrémeni razrešájuščijsja mučítelʹnoju ekspektorácijej.
      From the next room, through the half-open door, there came the unremitting sound of a short, dry cough, occasionally culminating in an agonizing expectoration.
