Il traversa l'angle de la cour, et vint dans une galerie où l'on avoit préparé un siège pour lui. C'étoît une sorte de couche couverte en velours (un sopha), où il avoit quatre ou cinq degrés
I desire to help people; and I, rising at twelve o'clock after a game of vint with four candles, weak, exhausted, demanding the aid of hundreds of people, I go to the aid of whom?
"Now God be praised for both," said he, passionately; "but most for thee, the best wife, the truest friend " Here, thinking of her virtues, and the blow he had come to strike her, he broke down, and was almost choked with emotion; whereupon Mrs. Vint exerted female authority, and bundled him out of the room. "Is that the way to carry on at such an a time?" said she.
When the time comes for me to put my foot on Vint Farley's neck, I'm going to spare him for your sake. Then you'll know what it means to have a man's love. Good-by; I'm coming over for a few minutes this evening if you'll let me." "Now jest you listen at me, Tom-Jeff; you ain't goin' to make out to find no better hawss 'n that this side o' the Blue Grass.
"Dame Vint, where's thy daughter? gone out a-walking be-like?" At this, the other women present chuckled and clucked. "I'll bring you to her," said Mrs. Vint; "but prithee be quiet and reasonable; for to be sure she is none too strong."

Mercy went, in perplexity and distress, and told her mother. Mrs. Vint, not being blinded by affection, thought the whole thing had a very ugly look, and said as much.
Something tranquil about Tobolsk! Blue, red and green roofs look shy from their cozy nests of trees. It must be very exciting to live here when all is normal. Good God! I see from the deck the fine foggish veil of dust and gossips hanging over the town. They must still play "préférence" here, or "vint." In these little "centers" bridge must be unknown.
Volgin, while drinking his coffee, talked to the student and the secretary about the weather, and yesterday's vint, and discussed Theodorite's peculiar behaviour the night before, as he had been very rude to his father without the slightest cause. Theodorite was the grown-up son of the house, and a ne'er-do-well.
But in spite of bad weather Nikitin's life was as happy as in summer. And, indeed, he acquired another source of pleasure; he learned to play vint. Only one thing troubled him, moved him to anger, and seemed to prevent him from being perfectly happy: the cats and dogs which formed part of his wife's dowry.
