1877, Лев Толстой , “Часть III. Глава XI”, in Анна Каренина; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Anna Karenina, 1901:Говорли́вый благообра́зный стари́к Парменыч ра́достно при́нял Лёвина, показа́л ему́ всё своё хозя́йство, рассказа́л все подро́бности о свои́х пчёлах и о роёвщине ны́нешнего го́да; но на вопро́сы Лёвина о поко́се говори́л неопределённо и неохо́тно.- Govorlívyj blagoobráznyj starík Parmenyč rádostno prínjal Ljóvina, pokazál jemú vsjo svojó xozjájstvo, rasskazál vse podróbnosti o svoíx pčólax i o rojóvščine nýnešnevo góda; no na voprósy Ljóvina o pokóse govoríl neopredeljónno i neoxótno.
- Parmenitch, a talkative, comely old man, gave Levin a very warm welcome, showed him all he was doing, told him everything about his bees and the swarms of that year; but gave vague and unwilling answers to Levin's inquiries about the mowing.
