   • 2010, John Dundas Cochrane, “The Walk to Moscow”, in John Keay, editor, The Mammoth Book of Travel in Dangerous Places‎, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 18:

     I had intended, from Novgorod, a visit to Mr. Glenny, at his establishment, eight miles distant, on the banks of the Veshora. Not finding him, however, I put up at a farm-house for the night, having previously drunk kuass at a convent, paid a rouble for charity, and received a blessing upon entering Muscovy - not without a hope that I should find better treatment here than in Esthonia.
