And even if she could hold him, what would be the consequences? Not one life, but two separate lives, two prisons, divided by a grating. "We are both brusque and strong, Vera; that is why we torture one another, why we are separating." "If I were strong, you would not leave Malinovka; you would ascend the hill with me, not clandestinely, but boldly by my side.
She heard my voice, and would have me come in, and tried to talk, but in vain she could not utter a sound. She bent her head, and I withdrew. In spite of the painful agitation, which I had felt to the full as youth can feel, I fell asleep, tired out with my forced march. It was late in the night when I was awakened by the grating sound of curtain rings drawn sharply over the metal rods.
The monk bowed, took up the portmanteau, and made a sign to Durtal to follow him. He went with bent head and short steps across an orchard. They reached a grating, passed on the right of the vast building a sort of dilapidated chateau, flanked by two wings advancing on a court. The brother entered the wing close to the grating.
Lyubavkin," he suddenly shouted so loud that all the postmen and other persons present started, "hand a chair; and you wait," he shouted to a peasant woman who was stretching out a registered letter to him through the grating. "Don't you see that I am busy? We will not remember the past," he went on, affectionately addressing Andrey Yefimitch; "sit down, I beg you, my dear fellow."

The lady, entirely disconcerted by such rudeness, and frightened, moved towards the door, opened it and stepped out. The train was swinging along at a rapid rate, jarring from side to side; the step was a long one between the cars and there was no protecting grating. The lady attempted it, but lost her balance, in the wind and the motion of the car, and fell!
I told the superioress what the cardinal said, and she wrote to the merchant, and a few days after I saw him talking to the superioress and Emilie through the grating. He commended himself to my protection, and said that before he married he wanted to be sure of having six hundred crowns. The convent would give him four hundred crowns, so we should have to obtain a grant of two hundred more.

"I am sorry, Lady Blakeney," said a harsh, dry voice close to her; "the incident at the end of your visit was none of our making, remember."
At this moment he heard a grating noise, then suddenly a terrible shock which shook the vessel from prow to stern. Then all was silent, and the "Alaska" remained motionless.
