      Ната́ша одна́ из пе́рвых встре́тила его́. Она́ была́ в дома́шнем си́нем пла́тье, в кото́ром она́ показа́лась кня́зю Андре́ю ещё лу́чше, чем в ба́льном.
      Natáša odná iz pérvyx vstrétila jevó. Oná bylá v domášnem sínem plátʹje, v kotórom oná pokazálasʹ knjázju Andréju ješčó lúčše, čem v bálʹnom.
