- 1884, Jan Neruda, chapter V, in Povídky malostranské:
- Jednou stála tu a jedla chleba s máslem. Dodal jsem si zase srdce a zastavil se. „Dala mně kousek,“ povídám. – „Tumal!“ řekla a ulomila skyvu. – „To já chci větší,“ škádlím galantně.
- Once she was standing here eating bread and butter. I plucked up courage and stopped. "Give me a piece," I say. "Here you go!" She said, breaking a slice. "I want a bigger one," I tease her gallantly.
