1866, Фёдор Достоевский [Fyodor Dostoevsky], “Часть III, Глава III”, in Преступление и наказание; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Crime and Punishment, 1914:Зо́симов, нача́вший свои́ у́мные сове́ты отча́сти и для эффе́кта пе́ред да́мами, был, коне́чно, не́сколько озада́чен, когда́, ко́нчив речь и взгляну́в на своего́ слу́шателя, заме́тил в лице́ его́ реши́тельную насме́шку.- Zósimov, načávšij svoí úmnyje sovéty otčásti i dlja effékta péred dámami, byl, konéšno, néskolʹko ozadáčen, kogdá, kónčiv rečʹ i vzgljanúv na svojevó slúšatelja, zamétil v licé jevó rešítelʹnuju nasméšku.
- Zossimov, who had begun his sage advice partly to make an effect before the ladies, was certainly somewhat mystified, when, glancing at his patient, he observed unmistakable mockery on his face.
