Same thing with Ivan Petushkov. 4 There guested with us a hussar, Pihtin; oh my, how sweet he was on Tanya, how he bestirred himself, the coax! Thought I: perchance, she will accept; 8 far from it! And again the deal was off.'' "Why, my dear lady, what's the hindrance? To Moscow, to the mart of brides! One hears, the vacant places there are many." 12, "Och, my good sir! My income's scanty." "Sufficient for a single winter; if not, just borrow-say, from me."
