'I have the honour of addressing the Princess Zasyekin? 'I am the Princess Zasyekin; and you are the son of Mr. 'Yes. I have come to you with a message from my mother. 'Sit down, please. Vonifaty, where are my keys, have you seen them? I communicated to Madame Zasyekin my mother's reply to her note.
'It's hungry! cried Zinaida. 'Vonifaty, Sonia! bring some milk. A maid, in an old yellow gown with a faded kerchief at her neck, came in with a saucer of milk and set it before the kitten.

Vonifaty! don't look for my keys; the keys are in my pocket. The young girl was still looking at me with the same smile, faintly fluttering her eyelids, and putting her head a little on one side.
At any time anything might happen; Vonifaty might announce that there was no sugar, or some revolting scandal would come to her ears, or her guests would fall to quarrelling among themselves she would only shake her curls, and say, 'What does it matter? and care little enough about it.
