Will you wait and come with me ?" He agreed at once; he had been, all day, very quiet, watching, with that rather clumsy expression of his, the expression of a dog who had been taught by his master some tricks which he had half-forgotten and would presently be expected to remember.

She was busied over some piece of luggage, and half-turned her head, smiling at him: "Ah, do go, John--yes?
We will be so cr-rowded....

It will be very nice for you driving." I fancied that I heard him sigh.

He tried to help the ladies with their luggage, handed them the wrong parcels, dropped delicate packages, apologised, blushed, was very hot, collected dust from I know not where....

Once I heard a sharp, angry voice: "John! Oh!..." I could not believe that it was Marie Ivanovna.
