- Austra ar izbrīnu klausījās Caunes valodībā: tas klusais, noslēgtais vientiesītis uzreiz bija kļuvis runīgs un gudrs ― Austra listed in amazement to Caune's loquacity: that quiet, reserved little simpleton had suddenly become talkative and smart
- nevedās mums vienīgi saruna, jo viņa atbildēja īsi, aprauti; bet es nepiederu pie tiem, kas uzbāžas ar savu valodību ― we just don't lead the conversation, because she answered briefly, brokenly; but I don't belong to those who impose their loquacity
