I shall bring with me a heavy burden before His holy countenance. I have been pleasing the devil myself, only I trust to God for His mercy, while Yashka believes in nothing, neither in dreams, nor in the singing of birds. Yashka does not believe in God, this I know! And for his non-belief he will yet receive his punishment on earth." "Are you sure of this, too?" "Yes, I am.
"A narrow shave of saying Vespers tonight with the devils in Hell!" he remarked as he clambered back, and stood grinning with an even more angular and attenuated appearance than usual. The next moment Boev achieved a second plunge, and screamed, as before, for help. "Don't shout, you goat of a Yashka!" Ossip exclaimed as he threatened him with the spirit-level. "Why scare people? I'll give it you!
The Colonel could not disobey regulations and enlist a woman in the army, but a telegram was sent to the Czar himself, and in a short time an answer was received from the Czar's official headquarters, announcing that Maria Botchkareva was entitled to become a soldier in the Russian army. So Maria put on her uniform and was nicknamed "Yashka," a name that soon was known throughout her regiment.
But, in spite of the unanimously expressed desire, neither began; the booth-keeper did not even get up from the bench they all seemed to be waiting for something. 'Begin! said the Wild Master sharply and sullenly. Yashka started. The booth-keeper pulled down his girdle and cleared his throat.
The orator finished his speech and looked upon his hearers with his dark, pathetic eyes, seeming to apologize to them for some unknown crime. The public understands it.

And how did it please you?" asks Yashka. The people control their laughter. "No; it did not please me," replies the teacher. His tone is so serious that the people are silent. "You see I was just trying it," said Yashka, with bravado, fearing that the teacher would rebuke him. "The wife is satisfied.... She has not got up yet to-day...."
And don't you think I also know that you consider it ludicrous to listen to me. What a sagacious fellow, indeed! But he who has committed many sins is always wise. Sin is a teacher. That's why Yashka Mayakin is extraordinarily clever." Listening to the old man's hoarse and confident voice, Foma thought: "He is scenting death, it seems."
He gave Foma a fleeting smile, and, taking his father by the arm, led him toward the table. "I believe in blood," said Yakov Tarasovich; "in hereditary blood. Therein lies all power! My father, I remember, told me: 'Yashka, you are my genuine blood! There. The blood of the Mayakins is thick it is transferred from father to father and no woman can ever weaken it. Let us drink some champagne!
When Yashka herself opened fire on some Germans who were walking openly through No Man's Land, the Russians on her flanks turned their machine guns against the women and prepared to mow them down. The usefulness of the Battalion was at an end and the lives of the girls were in danger from the Russian soldiers. It became necessary to take them to the rear.
