Some pride and egoism in that capacious breast, yes, but a great heart full of kindness, and ever a warm spontaneous welcome to the stranger in need, and to all old friends and young.

"And am I I too, to be hunted down by a dog, in this house?" he cried defiantly, setting his left fist on his hip.

I knew beforehand that if Zinaida Fyodorovna liked anything, it would be certain not to please Orlov.
