I can't hold my own in company." "That's nothing, that's nothing, my dear Liubochka," Lichonin whispered rapidly, tarrying at the door of the cabinet. "That's nothing, my sister; these are all fine people, good comrades. They'll help you, help us both. Don't mind their having fun at times and their silly lying. But their hearts are of gold." "But it's so very awkward for me; I'm ashamed.

"Then you mean it seriously, my darling Vassil Vassilich?" she asked, looking up at him with her kindly, dark eyes. "You're not playing a joke on me?" "What jokes can there be here, Liubochka! I'd be the lowest of men if I permitted myself such jokes.

If you love a man, then all that comes from him must be dear to you.
All of them already know where you took me from." "Well, that's nothing, that's nothing! Why, let 'em know!" warmly contradicted Lichonin. "Why be embarrassed with your past, why try to pass it by in silence? In a year you'll look bravely and directly in the eyes of every man and you'll say: 'He who has never fallen, has never gotten up. Come on, come on, Liubochka!"
