      Никола́й Петро́вич чита́л ему́ журна́лы, Фе́нечка ему́ прислу́живала по-пре́жнему, приноси́ла бульо́н, лимона́д, я́йца всмя́тку, чай; но та́йный у́жас овладева́л е́ю ка́ждый раз, когда́ она́ входи́ла в его́ ко́мнату.
      Nikoláj Petróvič čitál jemú žurnály, Fénečka jemú prislúživala po-préžnemu, prinosíla bulʹón, limonád, jájca vsmjátku, čaj; no tájnyj úžas ovladevál jéju káždyj raz, kogdá oná vxodíla v jevó kómnatu.
      Nikolai Petrovich read papers to him; Fenichka waited on him as before, brought him soup, lemonade, boiled eggs and tea; but a secret dread seized her every time she came into his room.
