But Soloveitchik did not stir.
The men strode cautiously into the room, stiffly grasping the hands held out to give them a singularly courteous welcome. Pistzoff smiled confusedly, and Koudriavji moved his long neck about as if the collar of his shirt were throttling him. Then they sat down by the window, near Sina. "Why hasn't Nicolaieff come?" asked Goschienko sharply. "Nicolaieff was not able to come," replied Pistzoff.
She said it all with such childish simplicity; you could tramp in and out of her heart with great wooden shoes on, suspicious though she was. "Perhaps we'll come over to see you at Christmas, Sina," she added in the goodness of her heart. Jomfru Koller opened her mouth and caught her breath in terror, but did not answer. She bent over her work and did not look at any one all the evening.
After waiting a while at the entrance, and making sundry jokes at the expense of Sina and Yourii, the others wandered along the river-bank. The men lit cigarettes and threw the matches into the water, watching these make large circles on the surface of the stream.
The life-preserver the gift of siñá Tona to the Mayflower which the Rector had laid away below and thereafter quite forgotten! Tonet did not quaver at the stare of execration his brother gave him.

Bu 'Ali Sina is the famous Arab physician and philosopher, by mediæval writers erroneously called Avicenna. Khizr or Khwaja Khizr is the name of a saint or prophet, of great notoriety among the Muhammadans.
Yourii longed to embrace her, yet again his courage failed him, and he pretended to stifle a yawn. "He's only in fun!" thought Sina, growing suddenly cool. She felt hurt at such hesitation on Yourii's part. To keep back her tears, she clenched her teeth, and in an altered tone exclaimed "Nonsense!" as she quickly got up. "I am speaking quite seriously," began Yourii, with unnatural earnestness.
If in time of famine or pestilence the family had been preserved thanks were specially offered to Lemana for having been so successful in his pleadings with the god. SINA 'AI MATA Sina the eye-eater. This god was incarnate in the bird called Ve'a, and was the juvenile scarecrow of the family. "Do not make such a noise; Sina, the eye-eater, will come and pick out your eyes."
"I love you, believe me, I do, passionately!" Sina took up her books without saying a word. "Why, why does he talk like this?" she thought to herself. "I've let him see that I care, and now he despises me." Yourii bent down to pick up a book that had fallen. "It is time to go home," she said coldly.
