TISHKA. There now, it fits you to a T! PODKHALYÚZIN. Well, Tishka, do I look like a Frenchman? Ah! Step away and look at me! TISHKA. Like as two peas. PODKHALYÚZIN. Go along, you blockhead! And you wanted to marry an officer, ma'am! Ain't I a sport, though? I picked the smartest coat I could find and put it on. OLIMPIÁDA SAMSÓNOVNA. But you don't know how to dance, Lázar Elizárych.
This Arachne who has drawn out and sucked more marriages, more families in the seed, more hearts, more Christians then there are lepers in all the lazar houses or Christendom. Burn, torment this fiend this vampire who feeds on souls, this tigerish nature that drinks blood, this amorous lamp in which burns the venom of all the vipers.
Anybody else might come for something different, but I always come for money! PODKHALYÚZIN. You come mighty blamed often for money. RISPOLÓZHENSKY. How can I help it, Lázar Elizárych, when you give me only five rubles at a time? You see I have a family. PODKHALYÚZIN. You couldn't expect me to give you a hundred at a time!

I returned. "But where are the fellows?"
"Aren't you one?" "No." "Oh, these two girls go in for highbrow fellows," said a young woman who had hitherto contented herself with smiling and laughing. "They're highbrow themselves." "Do they use big words?" I asked. "Well, they're well read. I'll say that for them," observed Miss Lazar, with a fine display of fairness "College girls?" "Only one of them." "Which?" "Guess." "The tall one."
Two centuries later King Henry VIII. desired the lands and possessions of St. Giles's, and with him to desire was to acquire. Giles's parish the actual ground it stood on, the Pittance Croft, and a few minor places. But even this remnant came into the possession of the rapacious King two years later, at the dissolution of the monasteries, when Burton St. Lazar itself fell into the tyrant's hands.
Alas, it is not only in London that such lairs exist in which the savages of civilisation lurk and breed. All the great towns in both the Old World and the New have their slums, in which huddle together, in festering and verminous filth, men, women, and children. They correspond to the lepers who thronged the lazar houses of the Middle Ages. As in those days St.
From Peiraeus it spread upwards with rapid strides, and before long the whole space within the walls presented the appearance of a vast lazar- house. From the description of the symptoms we may conclude that this epidemic was similar to that dreadful scourge of mankind which has been almost conquered by modern science, the small-pox.
We'll get busy, sir! BOLSHÓV. Just so. Although an old man, I'm going to get busy. But are you going to help? PODKHALYÚZIN. Good gracious, Samsón Sílych, I'll go through fire and water, sir. BOLSHÓV. What could be better! Why the devil should I scratch around for pennies. I'll make one swoop, and that's an end to it! Only God give us the nerve! Thanks, Lázar.
