She very early gotover childish lispings, and by the time she was four years old spokeperfectly plainly. She was afraid of her father; her feeling towardsher mother was undefinable, she was not afraid of her, nor was shedemonstrative to her; but she was not demonstrative even towards Agafya, though she was the only person she loved. Agafya never left her. Itwas curious to see them together. Agafya, all in black, with a darkhandkerchief on her head, her face thin and transparent as wax, butstill... beautiful and expressive, would be sitting upright, knitting astocking; Lisa would sit at her feet in a little arm-chair, also busiedover some kind of work, and seriously raising her clear eyes, listeningto what Agafya was relating to her. And Agafya did not tell her stories;but in even measured accents she would narrate the life of the HolyVirgin, the lives of hermits, saints, and holy men. She would tellLisa how the holy men lived in deserts, how they were saved, how theysuffered hunger and want, and did not fear kings, but confessed Christ;how fowls of the air brought them food and wild beasts listened to them, and flowers sprang up on the spots where their blood had been spilt.
