The fall of Lemberg was followed by the loss of the Dniester line as far as Halicz, and all beyond it including the Bukovina, and the Russians fell back behind the Gnilia Lipa, where Ivanov prolonged a stubborn resistance. But the aims of the Germans in Galicia had been achieved with the capture of Lemberg except in so far as the remnants of the Russian armies remained intact.
"Get in, we will give you a lift as far as Kuzmenki, then you go straight on and we turn off to the left." Vavila got into the cart with the barrel and the old man and Lipa got into the other. They moved at a walking pace, Vavila in front. "My baby was in torment all day," said Lipa. "He looked at me with his little eyes and said nothing; he wanted to speak and could not.
Early the next morning Lipa went off to her mother at Torguevo. At the present time the steps and the front door of the shop have been repainted and are as bright as though they were new, there are gay geraniums in the windows as of old, and what happened in Tsybukin's house and yard three years ago is almost forgotten.
Give it her, for the Lord's sake! "Well! Wha-at a woman!" people were saying at the gate. "She's a wo-oman! She's going it something like!" Aksinya ran into the kitchen where washing was going on. Lipa was washing alone, the cook had gone to the river to rinse the clothes.
Lipa and her mother are good and timid souls who suffer in silence, and give to the poor the little that they possess: "It seemed to them that some one up on high, further up than the azure, there among the stars, saw what was going on in their village, and watched.
Attack after attack was launched by the Russians and thrown back by the Austro-Germans. On the following day, September 5, 1916, the Russian persistency finally found its reward. Although Russian attacks near Zlochoff broke down under the Austro-German fire, other attacks between the Zlota Lipa and the Dniester resulted in the pressing back of the Austro-German center.
Just as Aksinya went in Lipa took the former's chemise out of the heap and put it in the trough, and was just stretching out her hand to a big ladle of boiling water which was standing on the table. "Give it here," said Aksinya, looking at her with hatred, and snatching the chemise out of the trough; "it is not your business to touch my linen!
Lipa sang softly, but a minute later she forgot and again: "You will grow ever so big, ever so big. You will be a peasant, we'll go out to work together." "There she is at it again!" Lipa, with Nikifor in her arms, stood still in the doorway and asked: "Why do I love him so much, mamma? Why do I feel so sorry for him?" she went on in a quivering voice, and her eyes glistened with tears.
On June 26, 1917, south of the Lemberg-Tarnopol railway line and on the Narayuvka the artillery and mine-throwing fire was lively. On the Zlota Lipa more German forces made some Russian prisoners as the result of a successful reconnoitering advance. On the last day of June, 1917, came at last news of renewed fighting on the part of the Russians on a larger scale.
Then they heard that the peasants called as witnesses had been fetched; their old workman who had received a notice to appear went too. The trial was on a Thursday. But Sunday had passed, and Tsybukin was still not back, and there was no news. Towards the evening on Tuesday Varvara was sitting at the open window, listening for her husband to come. In the next room Lipa was playing with her baby.
