ROLLER BLADES: talk. 'I've been to the betrothal at the cornet's. But there! They're shwine!--Don't want them!--Have come to you.' 'And where did you get your balalayka asked Olenin, still writing. 'I've been beyond the river and got it there, brother mine,' he answered, roller blades very quietly. 'I'm a master at it. Tartar or Cossack, squire or soldiers' songs, any kind you please.' Olenin looked at him again, smiled, roller blades went on writing. That smile emboldened the old man. 'Come, leave off, my lad, leave off!' he said with sudden firmness. 'Well, perhaps I will.' 'Come, people have injured you but leaveROLLER BLADES: them alone, spit at them! Come, what's roller blades use of writing and writing, what's the good?' And he tried to mimic Olenin by tapping the floor with his thick fingers, and then twisted his big face to express contempt. 'What's the good of writing quibbles. Better have a spree and show you're a man!' No other conception of writing found place in his head except that of legal chicanery.

Oh, you little Grace now do Tell me, do you love me true?'
