Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky. High art (№ 335412)

Excellent translator Valentin Smetanich (Stenich), translating from German French novel by Charles-Louis Philippe, depicted in the translation, as the young granddaughter from Paris, sending money to his old grandfather, living in the country, gives it such incredible advice:
- Go to the money to the girls so as not to bother grandma.
This phrase gives the further relation of the translator to the heroine. He decided that life in Paris corrupted it, and all its further actions gave a hint of cynicism. What was the surprise of the translator, when in a few years he became acquainted with the original and saw that granddaughter, sending money to the grandfather not told him to spend the money on debauchery, but just advised to take the maid to the grandmother it was easier to cope with homework.
