I hope that we will not quarrel, and that you will behave yourselves like sensible, obedient, and well-brought-up girls. I will be to you like in place of your own mother, but only remember, that I will not stand for laziness, or drunkenness, or notions of any sort; or any kind of disorder. The kind Madam Shaibes, it must be said, held you in too loose reins. O o, I will be far more strict.

Tell me frankly, she isn't in demand, is she, now?" "Ah, Mr. Shatzky! You can always talk a person over! But just imagine, I'm sorry for her. Such a nice girl ..." Horizon pondered for a moment. He was seeking an appropriate citation and suddenly let out: "'Give the falling a shove! And I'm convinced, Madam Shaibes, that there's no demand of any sort for her."

And she was right: immediately right after the death of Jennka some fearful curse seemed to hang over the house, formerly Anna Markovna Shaibes', but now Emma Edwardovna Titzner's: deaths, misfortunes, scandals just simply descended upon it ceaselessly, becoming constantly more frequent, on the manner of bloody events in Shakespeare's tragedies; as, however, was the case at all the remaining houses of the Yamas as well.

On the next day, on Monday, toward ten o'clock in the morning, almost all the inmates of the house formerly Madam Shaibes', but now Emma Edwardovna Titzner's rode off in cabs to the centre of the city, to the anatomical theatre all, except the far-sighted, much-experienced Henrietta; the cowardly and insensible Ninka; and the feeble-minded Pashka, who for two days now had not gotten up from her bed, kept silent, and to questions directed at her answered by a beatific, idiotical smile and with some sort of inarticulate animal lowing.
