She has not had time to decide yet. She takes me for her nurse, too. She wants me to sing lullabies to her.” “Katerina Ivanovna loves you, brother,” said Alyosha sadly. “Perhaps; but I am not very keen on her.” “She is suffering. Why do you ... sometimes say things to her that give her hope?” Alyosha went on, with timid reproach. “I know that you’ve given her hope.
The two grandmothers, who have carried the little maiden upon their backs, now tell and sing to her by turns all the legends of their most noted female ancestors, from the twin sisters of the old story, the maidens who married among the star people of the sky, down to their own mothers.
