All but the last of the horses had been stabled; the shepherds were returning from the fanks; two women, the weariness of their bodies apparent in their attitudes even in the dusk, stood for a little in the yard, then with arms round each other's waists went towards the cot-house, singing softly as they went.
At the door she waited till he had made the horse comfortable in the stone fanks, and when he joined her she stretched her arms up and pulled his head down. "I am wishing to do this," she said, and kissed him on the mouth.
When he talks to them, he usually looks sideways at them, his cheek pressed hard against his stiff white collar, and suddenly he turns and silently fixes them with a clear stony stare, while he moves the whole skin of his head under his hair; he even has a way of his own in pronouncing many words; he never says, for instance: 'Thank you, Pavel Vasilyitch, or 'This way, if you please, Mihalo Ivanitch, but always 'Fanks, Pa'l 'Asilitch, or ''Is wy, please, Mil' 'Vanitch. With persons of the lower grades of society, his behaviour is still more quaint; he never looks at them at all, and before making known his desires to them, or giving an order, he repeats several times in succession, with a puzzled, far-away air: 'What's your name?... what, what's your name? with extraordinary sharp emphasis on the first word, which gives the phrase a rather close resemblance to the call of a quail.
