      — Споко́йной но́чи! — разда́лся за две́рью го́лос Машу́риной, — я — ва́ша сосе́дка.
      — Проща́йте, — отвеча́л Нежда́нов и ту́т же вспо́мнил, что она́ в тече́ние ве́чера не спуска́ла с него́ глаз.

      `Sleep well!' Mashurina's voice called through the door. 'I am next door to you.'
      'Good-night,' answered Nezhdanov, and then it came into his mind that she had not taken her eyes off him all the evening.
