Here, boy! why do you not bring in Pougatcheff's friend?" "What are you about," said I. "It is Captain Mironoff's daughter. I have just obtained her liberty, and I am taking her to my father's, where I shall leave her." "In the name of Heaven, what are you talking about? Are you Pougatcheff's chum?"
Here is the letter: "MY SON PETER: We received the 15th of this month the letter in which you ask our paternal benediction and consent to your marriage with Mironoff's daughter.
"You did not tell me that," said the usurper, whose face darkened. "Judge of it yourself. Could I declare before your people that Marie was Captain Mironoff's daughter? They would have torn her to pieces. No one could have saved her." "You are right," said Pougatcheff, "my drunkards would not have spared the child. Accoulina did well to deceive them."
When he had received the General's letter he very adroitly rid himself of Basilia by telling her that the Greek priest had received from Orenbourg extraordinary news which he kept a great mystery. Thereupon Basilia desired to pay a visit to Accouline, the clergyman's wife, and by Mironoff's advice Marie went also.

This young girl is not Father Garasim's niece. She is Ivan Mironoff's daughter." Pougatcheff glared at me. "What does that mean?" said he to me. "Alexis says truly," I replied, firmly.
"You had not told me that," rejoined Pugatchéf, whose brow had suddenly darkened. "But judge yourself," replied I; "could I declare before all your people that she was Mironoff's daughter? They would have torn her in pieces, nothing could have saved her." "Well, you are right," said Pugatchéf.
"No, young man," said he; "at so great a distance the enemy would easily cut off all communication with the principal strategic point." I was frightened by his military wisdom, and hastened to interrupt him: "Captain Mironoff's daughter has written me, begging for relief. Alexis threatens to compel her to be his wife!" "Ah! Alexis, traitor!
