KÓRSHUNOV. Joke away but don't forget yourself, my dear fellow! Turn him out, or make him keep quiet. LYUBÍM KÁRPYCH. That meant you! One can see you are as clean as a chimney-sweep! GORDÉY KÁRPYCH. Brother, go away quietly, or it will be the worse for you. LYUBÍM KÁRPYCH. I won't be quiet! Now blood has begun to talk! All the domestics and guests enter.
He neither dreads the contact of the baker the Scylla of the metropolitan peripatetic, nor yet shuns the dire collision of the chimney-sweep his Charybdis. Try to pass him as he walks leisurely on, making the solid earth ring with his bold tread, and you will experience more difficulties in the attempt than did that famous admiral, Bartholomew Diaz, when he first doubled the Cape of Storms.
You may see her, as I said, at her work often enough if you know where to look for her; but you will never see her do that.

So she taught Tom every day in the week; only on Sundays she always went away home, and the kind fairy took her place. And before she had taught Tom many Sundays, his prickles had vanished quite away, and his skin was smooth and clean again. "Dear me!" said the little girl; "why, I know you now. You are the very same little chimney-sweep who came into my bedroom."
My story touched you, and you promised me never to be afraid of the little chimney-sweeps again. A short time afterward, you were awakened early in the morning by a strange noise, your brother still lay asleep at your side, and your nurse was absent from the room. This noise was made by a chimney-sweep who had just come down the chimney and now stood in your room.
Ah! a good woman she was, and might have been a happy one, in her little school there in Vendale, if it hadn't been for me and my bad ways." "Did she keep the school at Vendale?" asked Tom. And then he told Grimes all the story of his going to her house, and how she could not abide the sight of a chimney-sweep, and then how kind she was, and how he turned into a water baby.
Soon he had reached in this uneven tube a part much narrower, in which, with the aid of his back and knees, he could work his way upwards like a chimney-sweep.
