DALA CLOGS : she used to live. As she was leaving the court she turned to the dala clogs with the question whether she might give Maslova a little money. The usher said she might. Having got permission, she removed the three-buttoned Swedish kid glove from her plump, white hand, and from an elegant purse brought from the back folds of her silk skirt took a dala clogs of coupons, [in Russia coupons cut off interest-bearing papers are often used as money] just cut off from the interest-bearing papers which she had earned in her establishment, chose one worth 2 roubles and 50 copecks, added two 20 and one dala clogs coins, and gave all this to the usher. The usher called an attendant, and in his presence gave the money. "Belease dala clogs giff it accurately," said Carolina Albertovna Kitaeva. The attendant was hurt by her want of confidence, and that was
DALA CLOGS : why he treated Maslova so brusquely. Maslova was glad of the money, because it could give her the only thing she now desired. "If I could but get cigarettes and dala clogs a whiff!" she said to herself, and all her thoughts centred on the one desire to dala clogs and drink. She longed for spirits so that she tasted them and felt the strength they would give her; and she greedily breathed in the dala clogs when the fumes of tobacco reached her from the door of a room that opened into dala clogs corridor. But she had to wait long, for the secretary, who should have given the order for her to go, forgot about the prisoners while talking and even disputing with one of the advocates about the article forbidden by the censor. At last, about five o'clock, dala clogs was allowed to go, and was led
DALA CLOGS : away through the back door by her escort, the Nijni man and dala clogs Tchoovash. Then, still within the entrance to the Law Courts, she gave them 50 copecks, asking them to get her two rolls and dala clogs cigarettes. The Tchoovash dala clogs took the money, and said, "All right; dala clogs get 'em," and really got her the rolls and the cigarettes and honestly returned the change. She was not allowed to smoke on the way, and, with her craving unsatisfied, she continued her way to the prison. When she was brought to the gate of the prison, a hundred convicts who had arrived by rail were being led in. The convicts, bearded, clean-shaven, old, young, Russians, foreigners, dala clogs with their heads shaved and rattling with the chains on their feet, filled the anteroom with dust, noise and an acid smell of perspiration. Passing Maslova, all the
DALA CLOGS : convicts looked at her, and some came up to her and brushed her as they passed. "Ay, here's a wench--a fine one," said one. "My respects to you, miss," said another, winking at her. One dark man with a moustache, the rest of his face and the back dala clogs his head clean shaved, rattling with his chains and catching her feet in them, sprang near dala clogs embraced her. "What! don't you know your chum? dala clogs come; don't give yourself dala clogs showing his teeth and his eyes glittering when she pushed him away. "You rascal! what are you up to?" shouted the inspector's assistant, coming in from behind. The convict shrank back and jumped away. The assistant assailed Maslova. "What are you here for?" Maslova was going to say she had been brought back from the Law Courts, but dala clogs was so tired that she did not care to speak.
DALA CLOGS : "She has returned from dala clogs Law Courts, sir," said one of the soldiers, coming forward with his fingers lifted to his cap. "Well, hand her over to the chief warder. I won't have this sort of thing." dala clogs sir." "Sokoloff, take her in!" shouted the assistant inspector. The chief warder came up, gave Maslova a slap on the shoulder, and making a sign with his head for her to follow led her into the corridor of the women's ward. There she was searched, and as nothing prohibited was found on her (she had hidden her box of cigarettes dala clogs a roll) she was led dala clogs the cell she had left in the morning. CHAPTER XXX. THE CELL. The cell in which Maslova was imprisoned was a large room 21 feet long and 10 feet broad; it had two windows and dala clogs large stove.
