- 1890, Bolesław Prus, translated by Stanisław Barańczak, Lalka [The Doll][1]:
- Służący wbiegł ciężkim kłusem i zakręcił gaz. Po chwili rozległo się zgrzytanie ryglów, szczękanie sztab i do sklepu wszedł dzień, jedyny gość, który nigdy nie zawodzi kupca. Rzecki usiadł przy kantorku pod oknem, Klejn stanął na zwykłym miejscu przy porcelanie.
— Pryncypał jeszcze nie wraca, nie miał pan listu? — spytał Klejn.- The servant shuffled heavily over and turned off the gas. After the rattling of bolts, the creaking of iron bars, daylight, the only customer who never fails, came into the store. Rzecki sat down at the cash desk by the window, Klein took his regular stand at the porcelain.
‘The master isn’t back yet, haven’t you received a letter?’ Klein inquired.
