Chapter
PART THE SECOND
He remained in prayer a long time, and when he rose, his face shone with celestial joy. He blessed Thais, who watched him through the bars, and then, without speaking a word, left the convent, his heart filled with peace because he had accomplished his mission. As he journeyed back to the desert, Paphnutius contemplated the magnificent isolation that awaited him, where he could devote himself entirely to the praises of God, undisturbed by the cares of the world. Meanwhile, Thais, secluded in her cell,…-

He helped the examining magistrate into the sledge, tucked the covering round him, and said: "I hope you will be comfortable." The sledge moved off. Lyzhin looked round for the last time to say good-by to Loshadin, but the latter was no longer by the…-

Almost all these stories had sung parts, and of some of these,…-

Their bliss was interrupted when Ruth, a little girl searching for wildflowers, decided to pluck them to take home, despite their silent protests. At her house, placed in a vase by an open window, the violets struggled with homesickness and considered giving up, drooping sadly.
