Examples from texts

But he doesn't steal, that's one thing, and he's not a gossip, he holds his tongue, and doesn't wash our dirty linen in public. He makes capital fish pasties too. But, damn him, is he worth talking about so much?"
Да не украдет он, вот что, не сплетник он, молчит, из дому copy не вынесет, кулебяки славно печет, да к тому же ко всему и чорт с ним по правде-то, так стоит ли об нем говорить?
