Let me have a little powder for my musket-pan you have some? Nazarka, you go back to the cordon and look alive; but don't go along the bank or you'll be killed I tell you true. 'Catch me going alone! Go yourself! said Nazarka angrily. Having taken off his coat, Lukashka went down to the bank. 'Don't go in, I tell you! said Ergushov, putting some powder on the pan. 'Look, he's not moving.
She is an honest girl 'Eh, discuss 'Yes, but all the same I'll give you something now. Wait a bit! Nazarka said nothing. Olenin ran into his hut and brought out ten rubles, which he gave to the Cossack. 'Nothing happened, but still I was to blame, so I give this! Only for God's sake don't let anyone know, for nothing happened... 'I wish you joy, said Nazarka laughing, and went away.
If the ABREKS are on this side they must be caught, said he. 'That's what I say. They'll get off, said Ergushov, rising. 'True, they must be caught! Ergushov and Nazarka rose and, crossing themselves, started off for the cordon not along the riverbank but breaking their way through the brambles to reach a path in the wood.
The corporal, an old cavalry man, looked angrily at the Cossacks and led his men straight along the road where Lukashka and Nazarka were standing, so that they should have to get out of the way. Nazarka moved, but Lukashka only screwed up his eyes and turned his broad back without moving from his place.
The other Cossacks began laughing. The wag had not seen any vulture at all, but it had long been the custom of the young Cossacks in the cordon to tease and mislead Uncle Eroshka every time he came to them. 'Eh, you fool, always lying! exclaimed Lukashka from the tower to Nazarka. Nazarka was immediately silenced. 'It must be watched.
'They're too tight for me; he was a thin devil. One Cossack bought the coat for a ruble and another gave the price of two pails of vodka for the dagger. 'Drink, lads! I'll stand you a pail! said Luke. 'I'll bring it myself from the village. 'And cut up the trousers into kerchiefs for the girls! said Nazarka. The Cossacks burst out laughing. 'Have done laughing! said the corporal.
'What do you want of me, what are you after? uttered Olenin. 'Nothing; only I'll tell them at the office. Nazarka spoke very loud, and evidently did so intentionally, adding: 'Just see what a clever cadet! Olenin trembled and grew pale. 'Come here, here! He seized the Cossack firmly by the arm and drew him towards his hut. 'Nothing happened, she did not let me in, and I too mean no harm.
After dragging the body along for a few steps the Cossacks let fall the legs, which dropped with a lifeless jerk, and stepping apart they then stood silent for a few moments. Nazarka came up and straightened the head, which was turned to one side so that the round wound above the temple and the whole of the dead man's face were visible. 'See what a mark he has made right in the brain, he said.
I can see. It's nearly morning; wait till they come from the cordon. You go, Nazarka. You're afraid! Don't be afraid, I tell you. 'Luke, I say, Lukashka! Tell us how you did it! said Nazarka. Lukashka changed his mind about going into the water just then. 'Go quick to the cordon and I will watch. Tell the Cossacks to send out the patrol.
After stroking the dark burnished head of the bird, which rolled its eyes and stretched out its neck in terror, Lukashka took the pheasant in his hands. 'We'll have it in a pilau tonight. You go and kill and pluck it. 'And shall we eat it ourselves or give it to the corporal? 'He has plenty! 'I don't like killing them, said Nazarka. 'Give it here!
