     Pjerš za ŭsjo jon palažyŭ pad nož hilʹótyny bananavaje dreva, taŭščynjóju i cʹvjórdasʹcju padóbnaje na čalavječuju šyju. A-Čó uvjesʹ čas paziraŭ na heta.

     First of all, he placed a banana tree, as thick and hard as a human neck, under the blade of the guillotine. Ah Cho kept staring at this. The German turned a small crank, hoisted the blade to the top, then pulled a thick piece of rope and the blade came down, making a flash in the sun and neatly severing the tree.

     — Vjadóma, sam jon nje zajmaŭsja vypampóŭvannjem, — skazala misis Čyk, hljanuŭšy na brata; i sapraŭdy, hetaje tlumačennje byló njeabxódna, bo mis Toks vykazalasja ab im tak, niby jon pamjór lja ručki pómpy, — a ŭklaŭ hróšy ŭ pradpryjemstva, jakóje abankrócilasja.

     [original: "Not being a Pumper himself, of course," said Mrs. Chick, glancing at her brother; and it really did seem necessary to offer the explanation, for Miss Tox had spoken of him as if he had died at the handle; "but having invested money in the speculation, which failed.]
