      — А кто тебе дал власть над ним?
      Закон.
      Закон? И ты смеешь поносить сие священное имя? Несчастный!.. — Слёзы потекли из глаз моих; и в таковом положении почтовые клячи дотащили меня до следующего стана.
      — A kto tebe dal vlastʹ nad nim?
      Zakon.
      Zakon? I ty smeješʹ ponositʹ sije svjaščennoje imja? Nesčastnyj!.. — Sljózy potekli iz glaz moix; i v takovom položenii počtovyje kljači dotaščili menja do sledujuščevo stana.
      “<...>And who gave you power over him? The law. The law? And you dare to defile that sacred name? Miserable one!” — Tears gushed from my eyes, and while I was in this state the post nags brought me to the next station.
