"Moving out to the country, hey?" said Abe. He was outwardly calm, but his eyes glittered. "What country?" Anna turned to her cousin Lina and spoke a few words of Lithuanian. "She say she don't remember," Lina explained, "but she say is something sounds like 'canned goods'." "Canned goods?" Morris murmured. Abe bit the ends of his mustache for a moment, and then he leaped to his feet.
My spirited Lithuanian had almost brought me into a scrape: I had an advanced forepost, and saw the enemy coming against me in a cloud of dust, which left me rather uncertain about their actual numbers and real intentions: to wrap myself up in a similar cloud was common prudence, but would not have much advanced my knowledge or answered the end for which I had been sent out; therefore I let my flankers on both wings spread to the right and left, and make what dust they could, and I myself led on straight upon the enemy, to have a nearer sight of them; in this I was gratified, for they stood and fought, till, for fear of my flankers, they began to move off rather disorderly.
"I'm wanted by the police," he said, lowering his voice, though of course their conversation was in Lithuanian. "They'll send me up for a year or two, I'm afraid." "Hell!" said Marija. "That's too bad. I'll see if I can't get you off."
To-morrow I shall be in the district town on business, and on the way I will call on you gentlemen to gather alms.” “Then call at Niehrymow to spend the night,” said the Steward; “the Ensign will be glad to see you, sir.

He, contrary to his usual brazenness, always bore himself with a shade of respect toward Jennka. Simeon said: "Well, now, Jennechka, their Excellency has come to Vanda. Allow her to go away for ten minutes." Vanda, a blue-eyed, light blonde, with a large red mouth, with the typical face of a Lithuanian, looked imploringly at Jennka.
Yea, even the followers of Abraham possess evil propensities, and noble qualities frequently belong to the disciples of Balaam himself. These democratic principles put the most ignorant Jew in Russia on an equality with the erudite Lithuanian. No wonder that they obtained such strong hold on the people of the Ukraine, the province shorn of all its glory.
His influence was weakened over so great an extent. It required too great a soul for so great a body; his, vast as it was, was not sufficient for the purpose. But at length, on the 16th of July, the whole army was in motion. While all were hurrying and exerting themselves in this manner, he was still at Wilna, which he caused to be fortified. He there ordered a levy of eleven Lithuanian regiments.
They brought the greetings of Feodor Feodorovitch, who still had a little fever, and of Thaddeus Tchitchnikoff, the Lithuanian, who had both legs broken. Even after he was in his compartment Rouletabille had to drink his last drink of champagne.
Rabbi Shneor Zalman, the eminent leader of the Lithuanian Hasidim, hearing of the invasion of the French army, spent many days in prayer and fasting for the success of the Russians, and fled on the Sabbath day, not to be contaminated by contact with the "godless French."
It was known that the great prince would be glad to have with him the valiant Polish nobles, who were as valorous in battle as the Lithuanian and Zmudzian nobility, and better disciplined and equipped than they. Others were also impelled by their hatred toward the old enemies of the Polish race, whilst others wanted to go out of compassion. "Listen! Oh listen!"
