The deaf man and Aksinya looked after the shop. A new project was in progress a brickyard in Butyokino and Aksinya went there almost every day in the chaise. She drove herself, and when she met acquaintances she stretched out her neck like a snake out of the young rye, and smiled naively and enigmatically. Lipa spent her time playing with the baby which had been born to her before Lent.
Ahead of them all was Lipa singing in a high voice, with her eyes turned upwards to the sky, breaking into trills as though triumphant and ecstatic that at last the day was over and she could rest. In the crowd was her mother Praskovya, who was walking with a bundle in her arms and breathless as usual. "Good-evening, Makaritch!" cried Lipa, seeing Crutch. "Good-evening, darling!"
The one who was leading the horse stopped and said: "It seems as though someone were coming along the road." "Sharik, be quiet!" the other called to the dog. And from the voice one could tell that the second was an old man. Lipa stopped and said: "God help you." The old man went up to her and answered not immediately: "Good-evening!" "Your dog does not bite, grandfather?"
On August 12, 1916, they occupied Podhaytse on the Zlota Lipa, halfway between Buczacz and Brzezany, and Mariampol on the Dniester. The Austro-German forces continued their stubborn resistance all along the line, and every bit of ground gained by the Russians had to be fought for very hard.
LÍPOCHKA weeps louder and then sobs. AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. I tell you, that'll do! I'm talking to you; stop it! Well, it's my fault; only do stop it's my fault! LÍPOCHKA weeps. AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. Lipochka! Lipa! You buy me some bracelets with emeralds. AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. I will, I will, only please stop crying! AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. You'll get married, my darling; you will!
Now that her husband has departed, Lipa again becomes gay. Meanwhile, they have arrested a reaper accused of having circulated a bad piece of money which he says he received from Anissme the night of the wedding. Tzibukine goes home, examines the money that his son has given him, and decides that it is all counterfeit. He orders Axinia to throw every bit of it into the well.
There is going to be a liam-po, and the Chino Carlos is going to back it with ten thousand pesos capital. Big bettors will come from Tanauan, Lipa, and Batangas, as well as from Santa Cruz. It's going to be great! It's going to be great! This year Captain Tiago will not skin us as he has in the past, for he has not paid for more than three masses this year, and besides, I have a mutya of cacao.
On August 13, 1916, fighting occurred along the entire Galician front, from the Dniester up to the upper Sereth. The Zlota Lipa was again crossed on that day at some of its numerous turnings. After a very stubborn fight the village of Tustobaby, northwest of the Dniester, strongly defended by fortifications and machine guns, fell into the hands of the Russians.
Here I do not want to die, my dear, I would be glad to live another twenty years; so there has been more of the good. And great is our mother Russia!" and again he gazed to each side and looked round. "Grandfather," Lipa asked, "when anyone dies, how many days does his soul walk the earth?" "Who can tell! Ask Vavila here, he has been to school. Now they teach them everything.
Lipa and Praskovya, who had been walking barefooted, sat down on the grass to put on their boots; Elizar sat down with them. If they looked down from above Ukleevo looked beautiful and peaceful with its willow-trees, its white church, and its little river, and the only blot on the picture was the roof of the factories, painted for the sake of cheapness a gloomy ashen grey.
