    • 1894, Антон Чехов , В усадьбе; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., At a Country House, 1920:
      Же́ня, вероя́тно, ропта́ла на то, что оте́ц свои́ми разгово́рами отва́дил от до́ма всех поря́дочных люде́й и сего́дня о́тнял у них еди́нственного знако́мого, быть мо́жет, жениха́, и тепе́рь уже́ у бе́дного молодо́го челове́ка во всём уе́зде нет ме́ста, где он мог бы отдохну́ть душо́й.
      Žénja, verojátno, roptála na to, što otéc svoími razgovórami otvádil ot dóma vsex porjádočnyx ljudéj i sevódnja ótnjal u nix jedínstvennovo znakómovo, bytʹ móžet, ženixá, i tepérʹ užé u bédnovo molodóvo čelovéka vo vsjom ujézde net mésta, gde on mog by otdoxnútʹ dušój.
      Genya was probably complaining that her father drove away every decent person from the house with his talk, and to-day he had driven away from them their one acquaintance, perhaps a suitor, and now the poor young man would not have one place in the whole district where he could find rest for his soul.
