The light sharp-nosed canoe, which all the guests called the "death-trap" while Pyotr Dmitritch, for some reason, called it Penderaklia flew along quickly; it had a brisk, crafty expression, as though it hated its heavy occupant and was looking out for a favourable moment to glide away from under his feet.
