As no adequate arrangements had been made for their reception, they were quartered during the first winter on the German colonists, who, being quite innocent of any Slavophil sympathies, were probably not very hospitable to their uninvited guests.
'Damn Macaulay, thundered Sitnikov. 'Are you going to stand up for the silly hussies? 'For silly hussies, no, but for the rights of women, which I have sworn to defend to the last drop of my blood. 'Damn! but here Sitnikov stopped. 'But I don't deny them, he said. 'No, I see you're a Slavophil. 'No, I'm not a Slavophil, though, of course ... 'No, no, no! You are a Slavophil.
Next to him sat a University student who was coaching him, and Missy's cousin, Michael Sergeivitch Telegin, generally called Misha; opposite him, Katerina Alexeevna, a 40-year-old maiden lady, a Slavophil; and at the foot of the table sat Missy herself, with an empty place by her side. "Ah! that's right! Sit down.
These remarks I have heard repeated in various forms by Germans in all parts of the country, and there must be a certain amount of truth in them, for even an eminent Slavophil once publicly admitted that the peasant is prone to perjury.* It is necessary, however, as it seems to me, to draw a distinction.
Already the Russian General Staff had made efforts in this direction; and now Kuropatkin, supported by the whole weight of the Slavophil party, sought to convince the Czar of the danger of leaving the Finns with a separate military organisation.

The administration was thus brought much nearer to the West-European ideal, but some people have grave doubts as to whether it became thereby better adapted to the practical wants of the people for whom it was created. On this point a well-known Slavophil once made to me some remarks which are worthy of being recorded.
Like all philosophical theorists, they often allowed their logic to blind them to facts, but their reasonings were very plausible so plausible, indeed, that, had I been a Russian they would have almost persuaded me to be a Slavophil, at least during the time they were talking to me. To understand their doctrine we must know something of its origin and development.
