The rooks, disturbed by this activity, were cawing noisily in the willows, and the starlings sang their loudest unceasingly as though rejoicing that there was a wedding at the Tsybukins'.

Everybody's jeering and saying, 'See what a servant the Tsybukins have got hold of! I did not come to you for wages! I am not a beggar, I am not a slave, I have a father and mother."
