Hester shrank a little towards the Slowcoach, and Janet went to talk to Kink. She came back and thanked the gipsy, but said that they would not all come, but the boys would gladly do so. "I'm sorry you won't be there," said the man. "But we'll give the young gents a square meal and tasty, too! Something to relish! What do you say, now," he asked Gregory, "to a hedgehog?

I saw it as I came in.
Your Herzenstube will come and say that he can make nothing of it! Water, water! Mamma, for goodness’ sake go yourself and hurry Yulia, she is such a slowcoach and never can come quickly! Make haste, mamma, or I shall die.” “Why, it’s nothing much,” cried Alyosha, frightened at this alarm. Yulia ran in with water and Alyosha put his finger in it.

Some of his friends tried to dissuade him from travelling in Grettir's company, but he insisted upon going.
I hope they'll come again. And now for a large tea, with plenty of cake for all but one of us."
