A farmyard suggested in her mind a scene of cheerful bustle, with churns and flails and smiling dairymaids, and teams of horses drinking knee-deep in duck-crowded ponds.
She scarcely walked at all, and was constantly sighing and complaining with comic helplessness. 'You should go oftener to bathe, Nikolai Petrovitch told her. He had made a large bath covered in with an awning in one of his ponds which had not yet quite disappeared. 'Oh, Nikolai Petrovitch!
