LACE VEIL : "But do you know what, Akim Semyonitch, the money ... lace veil money ... your money's gone....

Why did you tell me where you hid your money, wretched sinner as I am? lace veil It's with your money he has bought the house, the villain." Sobs choked her voice. Akim clutched his head with both hands. "What!" he cried at last, "all the money, too ... the money and the house, and you did it.... Ah! You took it from under the floor, you took it.... I'll kill you, you snake in lace veil grass!" And he leapt out of the cart. "Semyonitch, Semyonitch, don't beat her, don't fight," faltered Yefrem, on whom this unexpected adventure began to have a sobering
LACE VEIL : effect. "No, Akim Semyonitch, kill me, wretched sinner as I am; beat me, don't heed him," cried Avdotya, writhing convulsively at Akim's feet.

Tfoo, what lace veil business," he lace veil on as though to himself. "What a damnable woman.... Go to him," he added, bending down over the side of the cart to Avdotya, "you see, he's half crazy."

LACE VEIL : coat. "Get away!" he shouted savagely, and pushed her off. "Where are you going?" Yefrem asked, seeing that he was getting in beside him again. "You were going to lace veil me to my home," said Akim, "but take me to yours ... you see, I have no home now. They have bought mine." "Very well, come to me. And lace veil about her?" Akim made no answer. "And me? Me?" Avdotya repeated with tears, "are you leaving me all alone? Where am I to go?" "You can go to him," answered Akim, without turning round, "the man you have given my money to.... Drive on, Yefrem!" Yefrem lashed the horse, the cart rolled off, Avdotya set up a wail.... Yefrem lived three-quarters of lace veil mile from Akim's inn in a little house close to the priest's, near the solitary church with five

Come this way, Akim Semyonitch, this way!" he went on, making his guest sit down, "and won't you take something?" "I tell you what, Yefrem," Akim articulated at last, "could I have some vodka?" Yefrem pricked up his lace veil "Vodka? You can. I've none in the house, but I will lace veil this minute to Father Fyodor's. He always has it.... I'll be back in no time."
