1937, Владимир Набоков, “Глава вторая”, in Дар; English translation from Michael Scammell with the collaboration of the author, transl., The Gift, New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1963:Как только она приложила трубку к уху, тело её на диване приняло привычную телефонную позу, из сидячего положения она перебралась в полулежачее, оправила, не глядя, юбку, голубые глаза задвигались туда и сюда в ожидании соединения.- Kak tolʹko ona priložila trubku k uxu, telo jejó na divane prinjalo privyčnuju telefonnuju pozu, iz sidjačevo položenija ona perebralasʹ v poluležačeje, opravila, ne gljadja, jubku, golubyje glaza zadvigalisʹ tuda i sjuda v ožidanii sojedinenija.
- As soon as she put the receiver to her ear her body assumed its usual telephone posture on the sofa; from a sitting attitude she slipped into a reclining one, adjusted her skirt without looking, and her blue eyes wandered here and there as she waited to be connected.
