1846, Фёдор Достоевский , “Августа 5.”, in Бедные люди; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Poor People, 1914:Сапоги́ в тако́м слу́чае, ма́точка, ду́шечка вы моя́, нужны́ мне для подде́ржки че́сти и до́брого и́мени; в дыря́вых же сапога́х и то и друго́е пропа́ло, — пове́рьте, ма́точка, о́пытности мое́й многоле́тней пове́рьте; меня́, старика́, зна́ющего свет и люде́й, послу́шайте, а не пачку́нов каки́х-нибудь и мара́телей.- Sapogí v takóm slúčaje, mátočka, dúšečka vy mojá, nužný mne dlja poddéržki čésti i dóbrovo ímeni; v dyrjávyx že sapogáx i to i drugóje propálo, — povérʹte, mátočka, ópytnosti mojéj mnogolétnej povérʹte; menjá, stariká, znájuščevo svet i ljudéj, poslúšajte, a ne pačkúnov kakíx-nibudʹ i marátelej.
- Boots, in such cases, Varinka darling, are necessary to keep up one's dignity and good name: in boots with holes in them, both dignity and good name are lost; trust the experience of my years, my dear child, listen to an old man like me who knows the world and what people are, and not to any scurrilous scribblers and satirists.
