"And you are the man to do it, Mr. Harnish. They are bound to think you are on your own, and their shears are all sharpened for the trimming of newcomers like you."

Do not fall into the error of so many young country girls in a large city, and imagine you can establish new laws, create a new order of things, and teach men new lessons. A great city is like an ever-burning fire, the newcomers who thrust in their fingers will be scorched and scarred, but the fire will not be changed or extinguished. Keep out of the fire.
She brought a certificate all in order. She was such a wise woman." That was all Nekhludoff could find out concerning his child. Again striking his head against both doors, Nekhludoff went out into the street, where the pink and the white boys were waiting for him. A few newcomers were standing with them.
Nobody stopped at first; the pace was too good to inquire; but presently Richard Bassett, who had greeted the accident with a laugh, turned round in his saddle, and saw his cousin motionless, and two or three gentlemen dismounting at the place.
