Мой Копейкин, кровь-то, знаете, разыгралась в нём, побежал было за ней на своей деревяшке, трюх-трюх следом..." (Гоголь 3). "As he was walking along the pavement, he saw a tall and slender Englishwoman coming towards him, like a swan, yes, sir, like a real swan, in a manner of speaking. Poor old Kopeikin-his blood, you see, was on fire - started running after her, his wooden leg clip-clopping on the pavement" (3a).
