    • 1915, Иван Бунин, Господин из Сан-Франциско; English translation from The Gentleman from San Francisco, New York: Modern Library, 1925:
      Он был довольно щедр в пути и потому вполне верил в заботливость всех тех, что кормили и поили его, с утра до вечера служили ему, предупреждая его малейшее желание, охраняли его чистоту и покой, таскали его вещи, звали для него носильщиков, доставляли его сундуки в гостиницы.
      On byl dovolʹno ščedr v puti i potomu vpolne veril v zabotlivostʹ vsex tex, što kormili i poili jevo, s utra do večera služili jemu, predupreždaja jevo malejšeje želanije, oxranjali jevo čistotu i pokoj, taskali jevo vešči, zvali dlja nevo nosilʹščikov, dostavljali jevo sunduki v gostinicy.
      Like all Americans of means, he was very generous while travelling, and, like all of them, believed in the full sincerity and good-will of those who brought him food and drink with such solicitude, who served him from morn till night, anticipating his slightest wish; of those who guarded his cleanliness and rest, lugged his things around, summoned porters for him, delivered his trunks to hotels.
