- 1898, Антон Чехов [Anton Chekhov], Крыжовник; English translation from S. S. Koteliansky and Gilbert Cannan, transl., Gooseberries, 1920:
- — Давно́ я уже́ не мы́лся... — повтори́л Алё́хин конфу́зливо и ещё́ раз намы́лился, и вода́ о́коло него́ ста́ла тё́мно-си́ней, как черни́ла.
- — Davnó ja užé ne mýlsja... — povtoríl Aljóxin konfúzlivo i ješčó raz namýlilsja, i vodá ókolo nevó stála tjómno-sínej, kak černíla.
- "It is a long time since I bathed," said Aliokhin shyly, as he soaped himself again, and the water round him became dark blue, like ink.
