"There were half a dozen fellows in the regiment I was one of them who ventured to think for themselves. We had secret meetings, and were in communication with men of other regiments. Well, I was sent off before anything came of it. But they got hold of the names of the others when they arrested some Nihilists at Kieff, and they were all sent out here for life.
But I'd seen ye look into his eyes when ye begged him off the brandy-bottle, and I knew the friendship between ye wasn't just the ordinary style of thing; no more is it. But it was that devil Kieff that threw the mud. I found him waiting that night when I got back. He was waiting for Burke, he said; and his story was that he and Vreiboom had seen the pair of ye eloping.
In spite of herself she flinched, and lowered her own. "Answer me!" he said. She felt the hot colour rush in a guilty flood over her face. "It was only for once," she faltered. "I wanted sleep, and I couldn't get it." "Kieff gave it you," he said, his tone grimly insistent. She nodded. "Yes. He meant well. He saw I was fagged out." Burke was silent for a space, still grasping her hand.

The position of our army was as follows: After the offensive of July, 1917, the Czechs retreated to Kieff where they continued to concentrate fresh forces.

Our visit to the Moscow Museum; his remark on the pictures for the Cathedral of Kieff; his love for realistic religious pictures; his depreciation of landscape painting; deep feeling shown by him before sundry genre pictures. His estimate of Peter the Great. His acknowledgment of human progress. His view of the agency of the Czar in maintaining peace.
She said it abruptly, too intent upon the mixing of her cake to look up. There came the sound of wheel and hoofs outside, and Sylvia paused to listen before she replied. "Yes. Kieff is dead." The sound died away in the distance, and there fell a silence. Then, "Killed himself, did he?" asked Mrs. Merston. "I was told so," said Sylvia. "Don't you believe it?" Mrs.
"Then conduct Peter Grineff to the quarters of Simeon Kieff. That rascal let his horse into my vegetable garden. Is all right, Maxim?"

"Ignatius," said the Captain's wife to the one-eyed man, "judge between the two decide which one is guilty, and punish both.
