- "[I]t is clear that my uncle has guests. There is a dormeuse, a brichka, and it seems—yes, there it is!—the jaunty carriage of the ispravnik of Serdobsk."
- "However, you would be hard put to find any travellers at all in the town of B—; only very rarely some squire owning eleven serfs and clad in his nankeen frock-coat clatters along the road in a contraption that is a cross between a brichka and a cart, peeping out from piles of flour sacks and lashing his bay mare with her following foal."
