      У глыбіні гэтага кепскае славы берлагу стаяла нізкая, нібыта прыціснутая да зямлі аднасхільным дахам крамка, дзе закуплялася жалеззе, рвань, бутэлькі, косткі і іншы зашмальцаваны хлам.
      U hlybini hetaha kjepskaje slavy bjerlahu stajala nizkaja, nibyta prycisnutaja da zjamli adnasxilʹnym daxam kramka, dzje zakupljalasja žaljezzje, rvanʹ, butelʹki, kóstki i inšy zašmalʹcavany xlam.
      [original: Far in this den of infamous resort, there was a low-browed, beetling shop, below a pent-house roof, where iron, old rags, bottles, bones, and greasy offal, were bought.]
