Chapter Chapter Ten in A Russian Childhood, 1978, pp 155-172 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract A big, old-fashioned suitcase, neatly encased in a canvas cover and tied with rope, had been standing in the front hall since morning. Over it towered a whole battery of little boxes, baskets, bags and bundles, the sort of thing no old maid g maid can travel without. The old e springless carriage, g , hitched up to a troika of horses with the oldest and least elegant harness, in the one Yakov, the coachman, always used Y when a long was n the offing, was already waiting at the entrance. The maids were fussing about, bringing in g g different trifles and trinkets n and out, but Papa’s valet, , Ilya, stood motionless, leaning languidly against the door jamb and expressing through his whole contemptuous posture . impending l’ p ture the opinion that the inpending departure was of no moment, not worth raising a household commotion over.
