Examples from texts

Longjohn ran into the vestibule first, onto the dias where the organ was, hesitated for a moment, wondering where to go, then rushed off, cutting a corner, and disappeared behind the organ.
Кальсонер вскочил в вестибюль на площадку с органом первым, секунду поколебался, куда бежать, рванулся и, круто срезав угол, исчез за органом.
