But once in the winter Vasily Andreyich, after drinking some hot tea, went out into the lumber-yard without a hat on his head, caught a cold and took sick. He was treated by the best physicians, but the malady progressed, and he died after an illness of four months. Olenka was again left a widow. "To whom have you left me, my darling?" she wailed after the funeral.
Vasily adjusted himself slowly, rose from the lounge, took Yozhov's yellow, thin little hand in his big, swarthy paw and pressed it. "Goodbye!" Then he nodded toward Foma and went through the door sideways. "Have you seen?" Yozhov asked Foma, pointing his hand at the door, behind which the heavy footsteps still resounded. "What sort of a man is he?" "Assistant machinist, Vaska Krasnoshchokov.
"But there's no one to say it to!" observed a blacksmith, with a smile, and shrugging his shoulders in surprise added: "There's a life for you, fellows! There's no one to say a good word to; no one is worth it. Yes, sir!" Vasily Gusev rose, wrapped his coat tightly around him, and exclaimed: "What I ate was hot, and yet I feel cold." Then he walked away.

Musya's and Tanya Kovalchuk's cheeks and ears were burning; Sergey was at first somewhat pale, but he soon recovered and looked as he always did. Only Vasily attracted everybody's attention. Even among them, he looked strange and terrible. Werner became agitated and said to Musya in a low voice, with tender anxiety: "What does this mean, Musyechka? Is it possible that he What? I must go to him."
With an unrestrained smile on her broad, wizened face, she continued: "You, Nilovna, don't be angry with me because I just now slapped you, when I said that your son is to blame. A dog can tell who's the more to blame, to tell you the truth. Look at the gendarmes and the spies, what they said about our Vasily! He has shown what he can do too!"
He tried to speak to her, while thinking at the same time with a shudder: "O Lord! That is a puppet. A mother doll. And there is a soldier-puppet, and there, at home, is a father-puppet, and this is the puppet of Vasily Kashirin." It seemed to him that in another moment he would hear somewhere the creaking of the mechanism, the screeching of un-oiled wheels.
"It is our business we get our sustenance from the land." "So much the better for you. All you have to do is to take the money. And what sins you will spare yourself " "The sin is on you," said the German. "If you would only work and keep things in order " "We cannot, Vasily Karlych," said a lean old man with a pointed nose. "You ask, Who let the horse feed in the field? But who did it?
No, Nikolay Matveyich, bravery is a good thing even though it be without reason." "Vasily, you are talking nonsense!" said Yozhov, stretching his hand toward him. "Ah, of course!" assented Vasily. "How am I to sip cabbage soup with a bast shoe? And yet I am not blind. I can see. There is plenty of brains, but no good comes of it.
She never slept, and wore herself out waiting for her husband. On the third day the commission arrived. An engine, luggage-van, and two first-class saloons; but Vasily was still away. Semyon saw his wife on the fourth day. Her face was swollen from crying and her eyes were red. "Has your husband returned?" he asked.
