    • 1869, Фёдор Достоевский [Fyodor Dostoevsky], “Часть III. Глава II”, in Идиот; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Idiot, 1913:
      Сёстры, бы́вшие, впро́чем, в са́мом пра́здничном настрое́нии, беспреры́вно погля́дывали на Агла́ю и кня́зя, ше́дших впереди́; ви́дно бы́ло, что мла́дшая сестри́ца задала́ им большу́ю зага́дку.
      Sjóstry, bývšije, vpróčem, v sámom prázdničnom nastrojénii, besprerývno pogljádyvali na Agláju i knjázja, šédšix vperedí; vídno býlo, što mládšaja sestríca zadalá im bolʹšúju zagádku.
      The sisters, who also appeared to be in high spirits, never tired of glancing at Aglaya and the prince, who were walking in front. It was evident that their younger sister was a thorough puzzle to them both.
