'Trouble, indeed, what nonsense! Now then, Susanna Ivanovna, eins, zwei, drei! Susanna made no response, and went out. I had not expected her to come back; but she quickly reappeared.
They used to begin with a pole and rope, like a fishing-rod and line, and at the end of the rope was a broad belt, which went round the waist of the beginner, and you heard the incessant, 'Eins, zwei, drei' of the drill.
