The upshot of the conversation was that the next day at noon the mother was seen in factory yard with two pots of eatables from Marya's culinary establishment, while Marya herself transferred her base of operations to the market place. The workmen immediately noticed their new caterer. Some of them approached her and said approvingly: "Gone into business, Nilovna?"
Workmen came up to her with cups in their hands, and when they were near Ivan and Vasily, they began to laugh aloud. The mother calmly suspended the transfer of the books, and poured sour soup and vermicelli soup, while the Gusevs joked her. "How cleverly Nilovna does her work!" "Necessity drives one even to catching mice," remarked a stoker somberly.
Conquering his agitation he looked almost calmly with a hard gleam in his eyes into the face of the mother, which was covered with silent tears. "Nilovna, we mustn't waste time! Let us try, dear comrade, to take ourselves in hand." Then he remarked through his teeth: "He must be a remarkable fellow such nobility! It'll be hard for him in prison. Men like him feel unhappy there."
Vasily Gusev came up to Nilovna and declared: "I am going to eat with you again. Is it good today?" And lowering his head and screwing up his eyes, he added in an undertone: "You see? It hit exactly! Good! Oh, mother, very good!"
"And we may expect about ten more to be taken! This gentleman here, for example." "Yes; me, too!" said Samoylov with a frown. Nilovna somehow felt relieved. "He isn't there alone," she thought. When she had dressed herself, she entered the room and, smiling bravely, said: "I guess they won't detain them long, if they arrested so many."
"We'll go, Pelagueya Nilovna." "Yes, we'll go." "Is it far?" "About fifty miles." "Splendid! And now I'm going to play a little. Do you mind listening to music, Pelagueya Nilovna?" "Don't bother about me. Act as if I weren't here," said the mother, seating herself in the corner of the sofa.
Only his eyes, deeply sunk beneath the swellings, looked out clear and smiling benevolently. "Oh, Science, I'm tired! May I lie down?" "No, you mayn't." "But I'm going to lie down after you go." "Nilovna, please don't let him. It's bad for him." The mother nodded. The physician hurried off with short steps.
He is fond of dogs, mice, and all sorts of animals, but he does not like people. That's the pass to which a man can be brought." "His mother disappeared without a trace, his father is a thief and a drunkard," said Nilovna pensively.
Our children want to live honorably, according to reason, and we have abandoned them; we walked away, yes! Go, Nilovna!" "My dear ones!" she said, looking at them all with tearful eyes. "The life is for our children and the earth is for them." "Go, Nilovna, take this staff and lean upon it!" said Sizov, giving her the fragment of the flag pole. All looked at the mother with sadness and respect.
Sofya, tapping her fingers on the table, remarked: "It's important for us to keep spreading literature all the time. You're not afraid to go, are you, Nilovna?" The mother felt offended. "When have I ever been afraid? I was without fear even the first time. And now all of a sudden " She drooped her head.
