Fruits of Culture w/ Direct link technology (A Classic Drama Play)

by Leo Tolstoy, New Century Books (Editor), Louise Maude Aylmer Maude (Translator)

Overview

"GREGORY (looks at himself in the glass and arranges his hair, etc.). I
am sorry about those moustaches of mine! ""Moustaches are not becoming
to a footman,"" she says! And why? Why, so that any one might see
you're a footman,--else my looks might put her darling son to shame.
He's a likely one! There's not much fear of his coming anywhere near
me, moustaches or no moustaches! (Smiling into the glass.) And what a
lot of 'em swarm round me. And yet I don't care for any of them as
much as for that Tánya. And she only a lady's-maid! Ah well, she's
nicer than any young lady. (Smiles.) She's a duck! (Listening.) Ah,
here she comes. (Smiles.) Yes, that's her, clattering with her little
heels. Oh!"
