- Заметив наконец, какая она хорошенькая, когда смеётся, он вдруг, при всех гостях, обхватил её за талию и поцеловал в губы, раза три сряду, в полную сласть.
- Zametiv nakonec, kakaja ona xorošenʹkaja, kogda smejótsja, on vdrug, pri vsex gostjax, obxvatil jejó za taliju i poceloval v guby, raza tri srjadu, v polnuju slastʹ.
