1905, Фёдор Сологуб [Fyodor Sologub], chapter VIII, in Мелкий бес; English translation from John Cournos and Richard Aldington, transl., The Little Demon, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1916:Верну́вшись к Тишко́ву, Скуча́ев сказа́л:
— Зря болта́ют на челове́ка.
— Зря болта́ют, пра́вды не зна́ют, — то́тчас же подхвати́л Тишко́в, молодцева́то налива́я себе́ рю́мку англи́йской го́рькой.- Vernúvšisʹ k Tiškóvu, Skučájev skazál:
— Zrja boltájut na čelovéka.
— Zrja boltájut, právdy ne znájut, — tótčas že podxvatíl Tiškóv, molodceváto nalivája sebé rjúmku anglíjskoj górʹkoj. - When he returned to Tishkov, Skouchayev said :
" They gossip about that youth."
" They may gossip about that youth, but they don't know the truth," Tishkov caught him up immediately, deftly pouring himself a glass of English bitter.
