1890, Bolesław Prus, chapter 2, in David Welsh, transl., Lalka, volume 1:
Wchodzili tam obaj ze służącym, zapalali parę płomyków gazu i, podczas gdy służący zamiatał podłogę, pan Ignacy odczytywał przez binokle ze swego notatnika rozkład zajęć na dzień dzisiejszy. — Oddać w banku 800 rubli, aha... Do Lublina wysłać trzy albumy, tuzin portmonetek... Właśnie!... Do Wiednia przekaz na 1.200 guldenów... Z kolei odebrać transport... Zmonitować rymarza za nieodesłanie walizek... Bagatela!... Napisać list do Stasia... Bagatela...
He and the servant went in, lit a few little gas-jets and, while the servant was sweeping the floor, Ignacy perused his timetable for the day through his eye-glasses: ‘Put 800 roubles into the bank, hm ... Three albums and a dozen wallets to be dispatched in Lublin ... That's it! An order to Vienna for 1,200 guldens ... A mere nothing, to be sure! Write to Staś ... Oh, a mere nothing ...’
