Do you remember him ?" "I should think I do!" exclaimed the mother.

"Yegor Ivanovich told me yesterday that he had been released, but I knew nothing about you.
Nobody told me that you were there." "What's the good of telling?
I should like to change my dress before Yegor Ivanovich comes!" said the girl, looking around.
"You are all wet." "I've brought the booklets." "Give them here, give them to me!" cried the mother impatiently.
"Directly," replied the girl.

She untied her skirt and shook it, and like leaves from a tree, down fluttered a lot of thin paper parcels on the floor around her.

The mother picked them up, laughing, and said: "I was wondering what made you so stout.

Oh, what a heap of them you have brought! Did you come on foot ?" "Yes," said Sashenka.
