    Неужели же здесь только бескорыстное, почтительное изумление перед тремястами тысячами годового дохода? - подумал Андрей Ильич. - Что же заставляет всех этих людей так униженно вилять хвостом перед человеком, который даже и не взглянет на них никогда внимательно? (А. Куприн, Молох) — 'Is this really nothing but a disinterested, respectful amazement at a yearly income of three hundred thousand rubles?' he thought. 'If so, what makes all these people wag their tails so cringingly before a man who never so much as looks at them?'
