     ♦ Сначала им [табачнику Коле и его жене Даше] пришлось довольно туго, но потом, во времена нэпа, персидский коммерсант снова открыл свою кофейню-кондитерскую, на этот раз осторожно назвав её "Кейфующий пролетарий". Он взял в долю бывшего табачника... (Искандер 3). At first they [the tobacco merchant Kolya and his wife Dasha] were rather hard up. Then, during the era of the New Economic Policy, the Persian merchant opened his coffeehouse and bake shop again-this time cautiously naming it the Idle Proletariat-and took on the former tobacco merchant as partner... (3a).

     ♦ Младший продавец, когда начали продавать мёд из запасной бочки, видно, кое о чём догадался... Шалико никак не мог решить - заткнуть ему рот парой тридцаток или не стоит унижаться? Не стоит, наконец решил он, пусть с моё поишачит, а потом будет в долю входить (Искандер 4). The junior salesman must have caught on when they began selling honey from the reserved barrel. ...Shaliko could not decide: should he stop the man's mouth with a pair of thirty-ruble bills, or was it worth demeaning himself? It's not worth it, he decided finally; let him do as much scutwork as I did, and then he'll come into his share (4a).
