9619But first tell me The gifts you consider As true earthly welfare; Peace, honour, and riches,-- 170 Is that so, my children?

9619''Is he gentle?''
9619''What further, Savyéli?''
9619''What has happened?
9619''Who''s is it?''
9619*****"To go to God''s church I have made myself tidy; I hear how the neighbours Are laughing around me:''Now who is she setting Her cap at?''
961910"What more?"
9619110 Ha?
9619120 Perhaps they want money?
9619140 Ho, does it not shame Such a strapping young fellow?''
9619160 His thoughts became brighter: No taxes... no barschin... No stick held above you, Dear God, am I dreaming?
9619160''Now, which is your chamber,''I think,''my desired one?
9619170 In whom should we hope?
9619171 In what you have told us?"
961920 Now Mother- in- law found A new superstition: She said to the neighbours That I was the reason Of all the misfortune; And why?
9619219''How now?
9619220 D''you understand now?"
9619230 Of whom do you sing Rhymes and songs most indecent?
9619230 Pray, have you seen ever The time of the harvest In some Russian village?
9619250 The strangers, astonished, Draw near to old Vlásuchka;"Pray, little Uncle,"They say,"what''s the meaning Of all these strange doings?
9619270 How much and how little We stuff in our bellies?
9619280 Say, friends, shall I tell you About him as well?"
9619280"The peasants are standing In fear, and are thinking:''Now, how did these vultures Get wind of the matter?
961930 Have you heard it sung?"
9619320"Does this picture please you?
9619360 And who deserves beating As richly as Shútov?
9619360"Your notions are funny,"The merchant says, smiling;"It is n''t a question Of looks....""Well, of what, then?
9619390 Shall we have strength enough?
9619400 You think, then, Matróna, That we Russian peasants No warriors are?
9619400''Not so,''replied Érmil; He went to the sellers;''Good sirs, will you wait Thirty minutes?''
9619440"You''ll go by the train, then?"
961980"''The Barin''s term,''say you?
961990 What sort of a goose?"
9619A grey- headed old peasant( The one whom the women Call Vlásuchka) asks them,"And where are you going?"
9619A lake has been made too; 230 Perhaps at one time There were swans on the water?
9619A wise little head, yours, And how could a wise head 460 Judge falsely of peasants?
9619Ah, what shall I do?
9619And how can I do His nonsensical bidding?''
9619And how did you enter?''
9619And is the Pomyéshchick Both happy and free?"
9619And my children?
9619And now, gentle peasants, Did you understand?"
9619And now?...
9619And said to me sneering:''But, what can you do In an hour?
9619And sha n''t we be choked In the grip of the Barins Until our last day When we lie in our coffins?
9619And then came another To put us his questions: How much do we work for?
9619And then of a sudden The trader cries loudly In great irritation,"What''s wrong with the ferry?
9619And what 30 Do you want?"
9619And what Is his name, little sentry?''
9619And what can one say?
9619And what is your trouble?"
9619And what joy Does it bring the Pomyéshchick?
9619And where can she bury 180 The insults they cast her?
9619And where have you seen her?
9619And where''s the red beast?
9619And while he is smoking Our peasants are asking,"And who is this fellow?
9619And who could help laughing?
9619And who is that curious Old man?"
9619And who keeps the convent''s Collecting- box full?
9619And whom should we honour?
9619And why do you hold him?''
9619And why were you singing 211''The Hungry One,''brothers?
9619And will there be ever A smile in their hearts?
9619And you look at it, thinking:''But whither, my friend, Do you hurry so quickly?
9619And, meanwhile, the peasants Of"Earthworms"are saying,"We lived but for''barschin,''Pray, how would you like it?
9619And, would you believe me?
9619Are all dead and buried?"
9619At whom do you shout Ho, ho, ho, in derision When once you are past him?"
9619At work in the tavern?
9619But answer me this: Do n''t you think he''s too youthful?''
9619But answer me, Christians, Whom call you,''The cursed Stallion breed?''
9619But districts there are Where the whole population Consists of dissenters-- Then how can the pope live?
9619But had not Shaláshnikov flogged us?
9619But how can they help it?
9619But now his last farthing Is swallowed in vodka, And how can he dare Show his eyes in the village?
9619But say, have you ever Heard tell of Prince Yurloff''s 540 Estate, Adovshina?"
9619But what about Gleb?"
9619But what can I do?
9619But what happened then?
9619But what''s been the matter?
9619But what''s the hot bath for?
9619But will you be able 110 To bear in old age Such a''happiness,''think you?"
9619Can you tell me?"
9619Could I learn it?
9619D''you think that the peasants Know one from another?
9619Did you catch him?"
9619Distributed Proofreaders WHO CAN BE HAPPY AND FREE IN RUSSIA?
9619Do n''t you touch him,"The mother says quickly,"Why, can you not see That''s his carriage he''s driving?
9619Do you know the song?
9619Do you know what it means?"
9619Do you notice The eyes, full of tears?)
9619Do you think they will find them?
9619Do you want a beating Yourself?''
9619Doubt, as he worked, began plaguing him: Once of a voice came the sound,"Heh, old man, say what thy purpose is?"
9619For are you not free?"
9619For how many years Have I stood on the threshold And bowed to the Barin?
9619For what are you swollen With pride, you old dotard, You scum of the pig- sty?
9619For what country have you abandoned Poland, your Motherland?
9619For what do I see?
9619For, who begs the money For building the churches?
9619From whence has it come?''
9619From whence have you come?''
9619Give him some powder?''
9619Grisha, the nephew of Jacob, a youth becomes, Falls at the feet of his lord:"I would we d.""Who will the bride be?"
9619Have you caught something, brothers?"
9619Have you forgotten 370 Petrov, how we punished The innocent peasant?"
9619Have you, by some chance, Ever heard the expression The''Family Tree''?
9619He began To inquire of the peasants,''Have none of you noticed 240 Before that the woman Korchágin is crazy?''
9619He bends-- but he breaks not; 420 He reels-- but he falls not; Then is he not truly A warrior, say?''
9619He laughed at himself:''Tell me, truly, Matróna, Now am I not like A Korójin mosquito?''
9619He laughs--''You were frightened?''
9619He says,"Will you buy it?"
9619He''s mad, the old Barin, So what''s to prevent him From beating them too?
9619Here children are crying, And sad wives and mothers Are anxiously waiting; And is the task easy Of getting the peasant Away from his drink?
9619His greatest work, however, the national epic,_ Who can be Happy in Russia?_ was written towards the latter end of his life, between 1873 and 1877.
9619How can he remember To whom he must pay it?
9619I ask,''Is he coming?''
9619I besought her To send him away, But she answered me roughly, 270''And do you want Phílip To serve as a soldier?''
9619I looked at them, thinking, Shall I be left too?
9619I prayed to the commune-- But what is it worth?
9619I slept not all night.... 120"Oh, youth, pray you, tell me, Now what can you find In the maiden to please you?
9619If they could have helped him 320 With bread or by labour They soon would have done so, But money is money, And who has got tenpence To spare?
9619In black darkness I woke, and astonished I ran to the window: Deep night lay around me-- What''s happened?
9619In what are you happy?
9619In what colours?
9619Is it not, sir?"
9619Is that so, good peasants?"
9619It announced to her her father''s curse, and was filled with sad and bitter reproaches:"To whom have you entrusted your fate?
9619It is dark still, The square is quite empty; In front of the courtyard A sentinel paces:''Pray tell me, good man, Does the Governor rise early?''
9619It''s built on a hill- side, And slopes down the valley, Then climbs again upwards,-- So how could one ask of it Not to be dirty?
9619It''s the''Barin''s term,''say you?
9619Now, do I not look like A hook, little Grandchild?''
9619Now, if you knew Érmil You knew his young brother, Knew Mítyenka, did you?"
9619Now, was n''t that nice?"
9619Now, what do you mean, pray?"
9619O times that are coming, You, too, will be painted In songs of the people, But how?
9619O you, bones so pampered 340 Of great Russian gentry, Where are you not buried, What far foreign graveyard Do you not repose in?
9619Of course, if he landed Right under the horses The sledge must go over His ribs,--who could help it?
9619Of what are we bragging?
9619Of what are you dreaming?''
9619Oh, say, Russian people, These names-- have you heard them?
9619Oh, shadows, black shadows, Say, who can outrun you, Or who can escape you?
9619On some hasty errand Of yours, or another''s?
9619On what are you wasted?
9619Once I asked him:"''And why do they call you A convict, Savyéli?''
9619Our cares or our woes?
9619Our drunkenness, maybe, Can never be measured, 280 But look at our labour-- Can that then be measured?
9619Perhaps at some feast In the home of a neighbour You saw her rejoicing And clad in bright colours?
9619Perhaps in the prison?
9619Perhaps in the sledges With merry young friends Flying down from the mountain?
9619Perhaps they are hungry?
9619Petrov stood there silent, And what could he answer?
9619Pray is it because Of your beard like a shovel You think you''re so clever?
9619Queries his lord,"What''s the meaning of this?"
9619Say, do you sleep sweetly?
9619Say, what''s your complaint?
9619Shall we have gold enough?
9619So little work done?''''
9619That sometimes the heart Of the peasant rejoices?
9619That''s so,--is it not?"
9619The Elder dives straight In the midst of the people; He asks himself wildly,"Now, what''s to be done?"
9619The axe of the robber Resounds in the forest, 660 It maddens your heart, But you can not prevent it, For who can you summon To rescue your forest?
9619The driver''s so frightened The reins have escaped him, His hair stands on end.... And when will the people 130 Forget Yevressína, Miraculous widow?
9619The heirs were alarmed; How to tide matters over 120 Until he should die?
9619The merchant said gaily,''The mill comes to me, then?''
9619The miserly haggler Not only ill- pays them, But bullies as well:"For what do I pay you?
9619The officer shouted,''Why did you not tell us 210 Before?
9619The old man is poking 210 His forefinger in it, He thinks it is damp, And he blazes with fury:"Is this how you rot The best goods of your master?
9619The others all laughed at him;''Why should you send them And you off for life To hard labour?''
9619The peasants are needy Or they would give freely-- 380 Themselves they have nothing; And who can take gladly The peasant''s last farthing?
9619The peasants are rather Confused, but they linger: 30"Well, neighbour,"they say,"Will you tell us no more?"
9619The pope''s honoured wife, And his innocent daughters, Come, how do you treat them?
9619The storm in my soul Has been silent, unnoticed, So how can I paint it To you?
9619Their coats are worn threadbare?
9619Then one asked another: Who is he,--the man 120 Free and happy in Russia?
9619Then say, in God''s truth, Is the pope''s life a sweet one?
9619Then why should he number Each cupful of vodka For fear that an odd one May topple him over?
9619They calculate closely:"They''ll pay both the taxes And dues-- with some over, 110 Heh, Vlásuchka, wo n''t they?"
9619They meet with a lackey 120 Near one of the gates: He seems to be wearing A strange kind of mantle;"Well, what are you up to?"
9619They waited To let the pope rest, 210 Then enquired with a bow:"And what more will you tell us?"
9619They''re balcony railings, 170 I think, are they not?"
9619To summon the famine?"
9619To whom, in God''s name, Do you think you are speaking?
9619Was it worth while, pray, To weary the peasant With learning his letters In order to read them?
9619We feed but on sorrows, We bathe but in tear- drops, How can we rebel?
9619We laughed:''''You do n''t like The Korójin mosquitoes?''''
9619We met in the roadway, And one asked another, 70 Who is he-- the man Free and happy in Russia?
9619Well, what was the upshot?
9619Well, where were the people?
9619Well, who could help laughing?
9619What about it?"
9619What are we for?
9619What distraction Has life?
9619What further?''
9619What has changed, though?
9619What is it, then, tell us, The sin of the peasant?"
9619What is_ his_ worth To_ their_ treasury, think you?
9619What luck?
9619What pranks are you playing?''
9619What seek ye abroad In the blackness of midnight?"
9619What then?
9619What''s amiss?"
9619What''s the matter?
9619Whatever may happen The Elder must come To accounts with the Barin, And how can I answer His babyish questions?
9619When we get to Hell, too, Wo n''t they be there waiting To set us to work?"
9619Where am I?
9619Where find money?''
9619Which is Among you the woman Matróna Korchágin?"
9619Who can say?
9619Who cares for her words?
9619Who in England, for instance, has heard the names of Saltykov, Uspensky, or Nekrassov?
9619Who is sad for her sorrow?
9619Who knows what her thoughts are?
9619Who knows?
9619Who robes them in spring- time, And strips them in autumn?
9619Who told them that here There was chance of some profit?
9619Who''s this?"
9619Who_ could_ foresee this?
9619Why did vicious black ravens Alight on his body And tear it to pieces?
9619Why not?
9619Why, who''s the worst sinner?
9619Will neither our God 450 Nor our Tsar-- Little Father-- Arise to defend us?''
9619Will they drive you to barschin Or pilfer your hayfields?"
9619With tears in his eyes Byelinsky embraced Nekrassov and said to him:"Do you know that you are a poet, a true poet?"
9619Would you, honoured father, Proclaim yourself happy?"
9619Yes, is it not striking, And is it not tragic?
9619You ask me for happiness?
9619You ask me, what further?
9619You ask, was I happy?
9619You hear the pack yelling?
9619You see''twas a cleansing Of souls, and a strengthening 470 Of spiritual union; Now, is n''t that so?"
9619You spit at it, love...."70"Now, where are you running?"
9619You too must needs argue; Pray what did you tell us?

38025''Also for the 14th?'' 38025 ''And do you know Nerchínsk?''

38025''Permit me to ask you,--were you, too, exiled?'' 38025 ''Yes, I had the misfortune to suffer, and you?''
38025A cow? 38025 A letter?"
38025Am I waiting for anybody? 38025 And are they breaking up the dirt well?"
38025And is this Siberian young lady really pretty?
38025And the bath, papa?
38025And what did he say?
38025And you were lying there naked?
38025Are you getting ready for communion, too? 38025 Are you playing well, your Excellency?"
38025Are you waiting for anybody?
38025But how can it be he? 38025 But what do they say?"
38025But who are they, those Siberians? 38025 But why do you torture yourself so much, my dear?
38025Can I not be taken there?
38025Can they play music?
38025Did you, dear man, have a successful journey?
38025Do it? 38025 Do you hear, Madame Chevalier?"
38025Do you not recognize us, dear man? 38025 Do you understand what kind of material this is?"
38025Do you wish a dime taper?
38025From Izlegóshcha, Gerásimovich''s wife,--used to be Fadyéev''s,--I suppose you know her?
38025Good day, what do you wish?
38025Grandfather, where did you get that horse?
38025Granny, my hen has been in your yard to- day,--did she not lay an egg there?
38025Has somebody robbed you?
38025Has the Siberian lady turned him to such thoughts?
38025Have people insulted you?
38025Have you nobody to attend to it? 38025 How am I to live now, father?"
38025How are they going to live now? 38025 How are you going to do it?"
38025How are you?
38025How can I do it?
38025How can I, one man, have you all put to death? 38025 How can we guess?
38025How can we run? 38025 How could they educate their children there?"
38025How did you find out that I had arrived?
38025How did you get on the road?
38025How in the world did Bodróv get to that place in front?
38025How is this?
38025How is your business?
38025How shall I know,said the Servant,"that they all taste good, if I try one only?"
38025How shall I tell you? 38025 How so?"
38025How so?
38025How, then, do you pray to God?
38025I did,said the guest;"but what is there remarkable about him?"
38025I will examine the yard,--who knows?
38025Indeed? 38025 Indeed?
38025Indeed?
38025Is it true that you said so?
38025Is it true what they say, that some hermits are saving their souls there?
38025Is mamma up? 38025 Is the old man still with you?"
38025Maybe you have heard who killed the merchant?
38025Move a little, ca n''t you? 38025 My belly aches,--can you cure me?"
38025No strips left?
38025No, something better--But before she had a chance to finish, a man''s loud voice was heard in the antechamber:"Where is she?
38025Of course, you have placed them,--but are they ploughing? 38025 Oh, you fools,"he said,"why did you crush that old woman?
38025Papa, shall we not go to aunty?
38025Reveal to me,he said,"where did you find those soldiers, and where did you take them to?"
38025See there, what is it?
38025Send for whom?
38025Shall I let you have it?
38025So they would kill Búlka, too, if they caught him?
38025Speak before God: whose sin is it? 38025 Sónya, bring him here, what do you call him?
38025Tell me, how do you save yourselves and serve God?
38025That is according to our ways, but how is that according to God''s ways? 38025 The time is all right, but the work is begun, so how can I drop it?"
38025Was his brother mixed up in it, too?
38025We give, but why does nobody give to us?
38025Well, Matréna, will you let us have something for supper, will you?
38025Well, and Peter Mikhyéev? 38025 Well, and now?"
38025Well, are they ploughing? 38025 Well, are you going to plough soon?"
38025Well, boys, what shall we do?
38025Well, did all of them go?
38025Well, have you not cooked anything?
38025Well, how do you like my children? 38025 Well, how is the countess''s health?"
38025Well, is he at home now?

38025Well, papa, will you be driven to the bath- house? 38025 Well, shall we drink tea?
38025Well, will that do?
38025Well, will you go there?
38025Well,he said,"have you sent out the peasants to plough?"
38025Well,said Eliséy,"when are we going to carry out our vow?"
38025Well?
38025What about the boots? 38025 What about the boots?"
38025What about those hermits?
38025What are you doing, Semén?
38025What are you looking at?
38025What business have you to defend it? 38025 What can I do for you?"
38025What can you do?
38025What can you do?
38025What did he say to that?
38025What did they tell you?
38025What did you say to him?
38025What do they say about me? 38025 What do they say?
38025What do you want, young woman?
38025What do you want? 38025 What do you want?"
38025What does he say? 38025 What does he say?"
38025What does that woman need?
38025What else do you want, if I give you money? 38025 What else shall we live for?"
38025What father?
38025What good are they?
38025What in the world is it?
38025What in the world is that?
38025What is it you wish?
38025What is it, father?
38025What is it, my friend? 38025 What is it?"
38025What is it?
38025What is she so happy about?
38025What is that to you?
38025What is the matter? 38025 What is the use of talking?"
38025What is this? 38025 What is this?"
38025What is to be done now?
38025What is to be done?
38025What is your name?
38025What island is this that we see there?
38025What kind is better?
38025What kind of hermits are living on that island?
38025What kind of people are they?
38025What makes you show your teeth, fool? 38025 What shall I do?"
38025What was he doing?
38025What will you do for me?
38025What, he has not harmed me?
38025What?
38025When are you going to plaster it? 38025 When didst thou arrive?
38025Whence does God bring you?
38025Where are you going, fool?
38025Where is Demyán?
38025Where is that island?
38025Where shall I, an old married man, go?
38025Where shall you get the money from?
38025Where, accursed one, did you get yourself so dirty?
38025Where,he thought,"is my mother to get so much money?
38025Where?
38025Wherein does your happiness lie?
38025Who cut it down? 38025 Who does not know that?"
38025Who is here?
38025Who is that man there?
38025Who knows? 38025 Who said that?"
38025Who wants to kill me?
38025Whom do you want?
38025Whom?
38025Whose are they, then?
38025Why are you standing there in the cold with the child? 38025 Why did you not come straight to me?
38025Why do n''t you speak? 38025 Why do n''t you throw away that nasty thing?"
38025Why do you offend us? 38025 Why do you strike my daughter?"
38025Why not? 38025 Why should I go against my husband?"
38025Why should I not care for them? 38025 Why the last, Pierre?"
38025Why was he frightened, and why did he run away?
38025Why, then, is he gaping? 38025 Why, you fool, will you not do it?"
38025Why, you fool, wo n''t you make them?
38025Why? 38025 Will that do, eh?"
38025With what did you cure the dog?
38025Worrying? 38025 You wanted to go to the bath- house, did you not?"
38025''Where are you sitting now?
38025''Who is gone?
38025''You are lying,--you have been in Siberia, but you did not make a long visit there--''""Where do you come from?"
38025--''If I put this cube away in my pocket, how many cubes will there be left in my hand?''
38025--''What is meant by saying that Pétya fell down once?
3802573"''God will forgive you''"81"They rode off to the mountains"96"''Whither are you bound?''"
38025A Peasant saw the Hunter running, and said:"Where are you running?
38025Aksénov laughed, and said:"Are you afraid that I might go on a spree at the fair?"
38025Aksénov looked, and saw that they had taken out a blood- stained knife from his bag, and he was frightened"How did the blood get on the knife?"
38025Aksénov raised himself, and said:"What do you want?
38025Aksénov raised his head, and asked:"Seménovich, have you not heard in Vladímir about the family of Merchant Aksénov?
38025Aksénov said:"For what shall I forgive you?"
38025Aksénov said:"What more do you want of me?
38025Aksénov told him everything as it was, and said:"Would you not like to drink tea with me?"
38025Aksénov wondered why they asked him about all that; he told them everything as it was, and said:"Why do you ask me this?
38025All the other exercises, such as"The ducks fly, and the dogs?"
38025Am I right, Natásha?
38025An old owl looked at the hare, and seated himself on a branch; but a young owl said to him:"Why do you not catch the hare?"
38025And Athanasius was frightened and only said:"For what, O Lord?"
38025And Koltsó said:"What do I think?
38025And Matréna said:"How can he help being smooth, with the life he leads?
38025And Mikhyéev said:"Why should I not go?
38025And Semén said:"Matréna, have you no God?"
38025And Tíshka, that dog, I suppose he says so, too?"
38025And a voice whispered to him:"Martýn, oh, Martýn, have you not recognized me?"
38025And does it not frequently turn out bad, for we have built much worse than they have?
38025And he began to apply these words to his life, and he thought:"Is my house on a rock, or on the sand?
38025And he reached the 44th verse, and read:"And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman?
38025And he read also the other verses, where the Lord says:"And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
38025And he said to Mikháyla:"What is this, dear man, that you have done?
38025And how could the knife have been put in?
38025And how is it now?
38025And how many are there now?
38025And she looked over his hair, and said:"Iván, my darling, tell your wife the truth: did you not do it?"
38025And the Wolf said:"Well, why did you call my father names last summer?"
38025And the old man said:"You have brought nothing to my house, why should I give you a third?
38025And what control can there be over those formless schools?
38025And what did you gain from the court?
38025And what is a chicken covered with?
38025And what should a man be doing there?"
38025And who is this one?"
38025And you, grandfather, what are you here for?"
38025And you?"
38025Are they alive?"
38025Are they cursing me?"
38025Are you afraid that they will rob you of your wealth?
38025Are you here again?"
38025Are you here again?"
38025Are you stuck fast?"
38025As they were walking along, Semén said to him:"Who are you, please?"
38025Avdyéich heaved a sigh, and said:"And have you no warm clothes?"
38025But Ermák said to his sub- atamán, Iván Koltsó:"Well, Ványa, what do you think?"
38025But I said:"What is the use of discussing the matter?
38025But I shall be told: What kind of schools will those be with bigots, drunken soldiers, expelled scribes, and sextons?
38025But Iván said:"How can we fools know?
38025But Kostylín said:"What is the use of looking?
38025But Tarás said:"What does he want it for?
38025But he thought:"He is, indeed, weak, so what shall I do with him?
38025But how are they to be controlled, watched, and taught, if they breed by the hundred in each county?
38025But how can I help becoming frightened?
38025But how could he help seeing me?
38025But how do we know?
38025But is it so?
38025But the Jackal said to him:"Why, then, do you command us to do what is impossible?
38025But the officer kept asking him questions:"Where did you stay last night?
38025But whoso hath this world''s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth, up his heart from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
38025But why does he not tell about himself?"
38025Ca n''t you see for yourselves?
38025Can four cubes be put together in any other way?
38025Can you do it?"
38025Can you make me boots to fit my feet from this material?"
38025Can you walk?"
38025Can you work?"
38025Death came, and said:"Here I am, what do you want?"
38025Did I and the old man, his father, live this way?
38025Did he fall another time?
38025Did we not drive away our first king for telling us to do what could not be done?"
38025Did you do right, brother Gavrílo, to strike a pregnant woman?
38025Did you have a successful journey?"
38025Did you see the merchant in the morning?
38025Do I tell you right?"
38025Do men work with their hands only?
38025Do we know firmly, are we all of one opinion, how to build schools?
38025Do you call this living?
38025Do you hear him break the branches with his horns?
38025Do you know how to read?
38025Do you not believe me?"
38025Do you not know Nikoláy Mikháylovich''s son?
38025Do you remember, Natásha?
38025Do you see the material?"
38025Does evil between people arise from one man only?
38025Eliséy asked her:"Is there no well man here to take this woman away?"
38025Father and mother called Iván, and said to him:"Have you heard what the king has proclaimed?
38025Figure out how much you have spent on these courts, how much you have spent in travelling and in feeding yourself on the way?
38025For how would it be to go beyond the sea to seek Christ and lose him within me?
38025Gentlefolk?
38025Germans?
38025Has he already called on you?
38025Has the condition of the pedagogical material with which it has to do been correctly defined?
38025Have I not done better?"
38025Have you seen Nikíta?
38025Have you suddenly grown so rich?
38025He brought a gold axe out of the river, and said:"Is this your axe?"
38025He nudged him with his elbow, and said:"Friend, what do you say?"
38025He said:"Are you not afraid?"
38025He said:"How much will you give?"
38025He said:"Seménovich, have you heard before this about that matter, or have we met before?"
38025He thought:"If I protect him, why should I forgive him, since he has ruined me?
38025He would say to them:"What are you doing, my children?
38025He, too, I suppose, is cursing me?"
38025He, too, had heard of the evening''s affair, and he began to beg his brother:"Reveal to me, where do you get the gold money from?
38025Her mother said:"What have you brought?"
38025His clerk said to him:"Where shall it come from?
38025How are four cubes formed from three and one?
38025How are four cubes to be formed from separate cubes?
38025How are four cubes to be formed from twos, from a pair?

38025How can the spider know in advance what weather it is going to be?
38025How can we go back?

38025How did we live?
38025How did you get near that chapel?"

38025How many times did Pétya fall?
38025How shall I now straighten it out with the master?
38025How shall we afterward break up the four cubes?
38025How was that?
38025I asked her:"What is this?"
38025I did not understand that with my question,"How do you know what to teach and how to teach?"
38025I had entirely forgotten about the wounds, and only asked,"Where is the bear?
38025I have invited a lot of people, but how am I going to feed them?"
38025I have no children, and how should I live if it were not for these girls?
38025I have not been beaten in all my life, and now freckled Iván has brought me to being beaten with rods, and am I to beg his forgiveness?
38025I looked around me: what marvel was that?
38025I said to them:''Where is your cow?''
38025I suppose you have heard of it?"
38025I was the youngest of the brothers, and I asked:"May I, too, learn to ride?"
38025If he is to be whipped for an apple, what ought to be done with us for our sins?"
38025If you do not stop, he will drive you away, and where will you go then?
38025Ilyás is his name; maybe you have heard of him?"
38025In general, with the popular education we can not put the question,"How is the best education to be given?"
38025In what do these demands consist?
38025In what way is he doing worse than you?"
38025Involuntarily the question arises: Do the children know, or do they not know, what is so well explained to them in these conversations?
38025Is it all right?"
38025Is it not evident that it is all mere nonsense which it is not worth while to criticize?
38025Is it that you scratch with your claws, and gnaw with your teeth?
38025Is not your name Egór?"
38025Is that good?
38025Is that good?
38025Is that right?
38025Is that true?"
38025It is easy to ruin somebody else''s soul, but how about our own souls?
38025It was like a man, but too large for that, and then, how was a man to be in the middle of the ocean?
38025Iván stood near his yard, and kept looking at it, and saying:"What is this?
38025Iván went up, and then the old man said:"What have I told you, Iván?
38025Makár Seménovich said:"For what sins?"
38025Martýn shuddered in his sleep:"Who is that?"
38025Martýn was silent, and he said:"How shall we live for God?"
38025Matréna broke in,--she wanted to know who the woman was, and whose the children were, and so she said:"Are you not their mother?"

38025Or had I better not go?"
38025Repeat everything we have found out and have said about this room: in what room are we sitting?
38025Semén took the measure, and he said about the lame girl:"What has made her lame?
38025Semén was frightened, and he said:"How could we have seen such?"
38025Serézha?"
38025Shall I find out?"
38025She said:"What about that Ass?"
38025She said:"What shall I do?"
38025She stepped in the midst of the peasants, and began to talk to them:"What are you doing, dear ones?
38025She stood at the entrance of the den, and said:"Well, Lion, how are you feeling?"
38025She wanted to take him to a policeman; the little fellow struggled and tried to deny what he had done:"I did not take any, so why do you beat me?
38025She went on, and kept thinking about the Peasant:"Whither is that fool driving me?
38025Should I teach according to the sound alphabet, translated from the German, or from the prayer- book?
