    • 2017, Mikhail Bulgakov, chapter 15, in Alexander Nitzberg, transl., Meister und Margarita, Galiani:
      –Jawohl, Hexerei–, sagte Nikanor Iwanowitsch schüchtern, ob zum Künstler oder zum dunklen Saal gewandt, und erklärte sich: –Finstre Mächte. Vom karierten Dolmetsch untergeschoben.
      "That's right, they were magic ones," said Nikanor Ivanovich timidly, addressing no one in particular but adding: "an evil spirit, that interpreter in a check suit planted them on me." (translated by Michael Glenny, Collins and Harville Press, London, 1967)
