   • 1980, Jules Verne, chapter 5, in Zoltán Majtényi, transl., A rejtelmes sziget (The Mysterious Island)‎:

     Pencroff erős dohányos volt, és ezért a gyufásdoboz sohasem hiányzott a mellényzsebéből. Most azonban nem találta. Átkutatta nadrágja zsebeit is, de legnagyobb elképedésére ott sem akadt rá.

     Pencroft searched in his waistcoat for the box, which was always there, for he was a confirmed smoker. He could not find it; he rummaged the pockets of his trousers, but, to his horror, he could nowhere discover the box.
