At the door of the cellar Nadezhda handed the keys to her companion, and with a slow step which set her ample bosom swaying, and increased the disarray of the bodice on her round, but broad, shoulders, approached myself, and said quietly: "Please open the gutter-sluice and let out the water into the street, or the yard will soon be flooded. Oh, the smell of it! What is that thing there? A rat?
At first, however, nothing was distinguishable save a sound like the humming of a spindle. "It is my mother that is speaking," Nadezhda explained softly. "She'll give it him! Yes, SHE will protect me!" Yet I scarcely heard Nadezhda's words, so greatly was I feeling struck with the quiet forcefulness, the absolute assurance, of what was being said within the window.
"Ah, little children of mine!" Upon that Gubin suddenly desisted from his task of hauling up the bucket, and, as he steadied the rope with his arms raised above his head, said quickly: "Nadezhda Ivanovna, you ought indeed to have had some children six at the least!" Yet no reply came, nor did the woman even look at him.
"They carry knives about with them, and dig underground passages in Navii's playground. He himself is clean-shaven like a German, and he's imported these foreign earth-diggers." "I like that red-haired instructress, Nadezhda Vestchezerova," said Elena. She looked searchingly at her sister. "Yes, she's very sincere," answered Elisaveta. "A fine girl."
"Through you, I say, I lost my peace of mind." Nadezhda nudged me, and whispered with gay malice: "That is probably true, for they say that once he was one of her lovers." Then she recollected herself and, clapping her hands to her face, cried through her fingers: "Oh good Lord! What have I said? No, no, you must not believe these tales. They are only slanders, for she is the best of women."
A boy, who resembled the sad-faced Nadezhda, quietly jumped down from his swing, and walked behind them, without approaching too closely. The other quiet children looked tranquilly after him, and continued to swing and to sing as before. Trirodov opened the gate, and was followed by Kirsha and Grisha.
VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Well, permit me. Our benefactress is very much hurt at Grísha, because he didn't spend the night at home: he came in drunk, and didn't even ask forgiveness nor kiss her hand. It was this vexation that made her sick. And then this Nadezhda happened to come her way when she was angry.
