He had served in a cavalry regiment and had even passed for one of its most accomplished officers, having constantly shown himself at all the balls and parties wherever his regiment was quartered. Information respecting him may be asked of all the young ladies in the districts of Tamboff and Simbirsk.
He was fond of wrestling too; strong men used to come from Tula, from Harkoff, from Tamboff, and from everywhere to him.
There was, of course, another alternative, and that was the supposition that they had stolen the Lucifer the "fallen Angel," as Natasha had now re-named her for purposes of piracy and private revenge; but that was negatived by the fact that Tamboff knew that he only had a certain supply of motive power which he could not renew, and which, once exhausted, left his air-ship as useless as a steamer without coal.
'The new mistress. 'What mistress? 'Oh, that bought us. Your honour does not know her; Alyona Timofyevna; she is so fat ... not young. 'Why did she decide to make you a fisherman? 'God knows.

Men of the same race, but bearing different tribal names, such as Finns, Korelli, Tcheremiss, Tchuvash, Mordva, Votyaks, Permyaks, Zyryanye, Voguls, are to be found in considerable numbers all over the northern provinces, from the Gulf of Bothnia to Western Siberia, as well as in the provinces bordering the Middle Volga as far south as Penza, Simbirsk, and Tamboff.* The Russian peasants, who now compose the great mass of the population, are the intruders.

'What of that? you can get there from Tamboff, and from V you won't be at all out of your road. Rudin thought a moment. 'Well, all right, he said at last, 'tell them to put the horses to. It is the same to me; I will go to Tamboff. The horses were soon ready.
My regiment had captured the flag of the Tamboff infantry, and the 24th had also taken that of the Russian unit which they had overcome; but their satisfaction was diminished by the knowledge that two of their squadron commanders had been wounded, both of whom however, made a rapid recovery and served throughout the rest of the campaign.
