    • 1872, Фёдор Достоевский, “Часть 1. Глава 2. Принц Гарри. Сватовство”, in Бесы; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Demons, 1994:
      Он не раз пробуждал своего десяти- или одиннадцатилетнего друга ночью, единственно чтоб излить пред ним в слезах свои оскорблённые чувства или открыть ему какой-нибудь домашний секрет, не замечая, что это совсем уже непозволительно.
      On ne raz probuždal svojevo desjati- ili odinnadcatiletnevo druga nočʹju, jedinstvenno štob izlitʹ pred nim v slezax svoi oskorbljónnyje čuvstva ili otkrytʹ jemu kakoj-nibudʹ domašnij sekret, ne zamečaja, što eto sovsem uže nepozvolitelʹno.
      More than once he awakened his ten or eleven-year-old friend at night only to pour out his injured feelings in tears before him, or to reveal some domestic secret to him, not noticing that this was altogether inadmissible.
