[Foma Gordyeff by Maxim Gorky]@TWC D-Link bookFoma Gordyeff CHAPTER VI 26/35
You have lost your way, very well, but why do you want to lead me astray? Is it wickedness that speaks in you: 'I feel bad,' you say, 'let him also feel bad--there, I'll besprinkle his heart with my poisonous tears!' Isn't that so? Eh!

Her lips were trembling and deep wrinkles appeared at the corners of her mouth. "A beautiful person should lead a good life.
