Example of text:
На столе красовались яичница и несколько видов овощных салатов.
Я лениво перекидывал палочками туда-сюда по тарелке кусочек огурца.
Х: Не хочешь есть?
Н: Хочу. Но я ведь не животное, чтобы травой питаться…
Химицу нахмурилась.
Х: То есть бомж-пакеты, по-твоему, лучше?
Н: Не знаю насчёт «лучше», но точно – вкуснее!
Х: Ну!
Она смешно надула щёчки – как хомячок, ей-богу!
Х: Я ведь старалась!
Нокаут!
