      Хіба́ няма́ такі́х падару́нкаў, які́я маглі-б загла́дзіць зробленую табе́ кры́ўду і памякчы́ць тваё сэ́рца? Прашу́ цябе́, па кра́йняй ме́ры, вызвалі́ць хоць маю́ ці́хую сястру́; спагані́ на мне адной усю́ тваю́ злосць.
      Xibá njamá takíx padarúnkaŭ, jakíja mahli-b zahládzicʹ zróbljenuju tabjé krýŭdu i pamjakčýcʹ tvajó sérca? Prašú cjabjé, pa krájnjaj mjéry, vyzvalícʹ xocʹ majú cíxuju sjastrú; spahaní na mnje adnój usjú tvajú zloscʹ.

      Малада́я дзяўчы́на адкі́нулася наза́д, непрые́мна здзі́ўленая гэ́тымі словамі, але́ скры́ла сваю́ кры́ўду і звонка засмяя́лася.
      Maladája dzjaŭčýna adkínulasja nazád, njepryjémna zdzíŭljenaja hétymi slóvami, aljé skrýla svajú krýŭdu i zvónka zasmjajálasja.
      [original: The young girl threw herself back upon the seat — evidently displeased, both by the speech and the tone in which it was delivered. But her displeasure, instead of expressing itself in a frown, or in the shape of an indignant rejoinder, was concealed under a guise far more galling to him who had caused it. A clear ringing laugh was the only reply vouchsafed to him.]
