Mavriky Nikolaevitch, what faith he used to preach to me then, _en Dieu qui est si grand et si bon!_ And do you remember your story of how Columbus discovered America, and they all cried out, 'Land! land!'?
My nurse Alyona Frolovna says I was light-headed at night afterwards, and kept crying out 'land! land!' in my sleep.

And do you remember how you told me the story of Prince Hamlet?
And do you remember how you described to me how the poor emigrants were transported from Europe to America?
And it was all untrue; I found out afterwards how they were transited.
