1859, Иван Тургенев, “Глава 8”, in Дворянское гнездо; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., A House of Gentlefolk, 1917:Пестовы, люди жалостливые и добрые, охотно согласились на его просьбу; он прожил у них недели три, втайне ожидая ответа от отца; но ответа не пришло, — и прийти не могло.- Pestovy, ljudi žalostlivyje i dobryje, oxotno soglasilisʹ na jevo prosʹbu; on prožil u nix nedeli tri, vtajne ožidaja otveta ot otca; no otveta ne prišlo, — i prijti ne moglo.
- The Pestovs, kind-hearted and compassionate people, readily agreed to his request. He stayed with them for three weeks, secretly expecting a reply from his father; but no reply came--and there was no chance of a reply coming.
