Woloda was giving himself tremendous airs. Probably he was proud of
having ridden the hunter, and so pretended to be very tired. Perhaps,
also, he had too much hard-headedness and too little imagination fully
to enjoy the game of Robinson. It was a game which consisted of
performing various scenes from The Swiss Family Robinson, a book which
we had recently been reading. "Well, but be a good boy. Why not try and
please us this time?" the girls answered. "You may be Charles or Ernest
or the father, whichever you like best," added Katenka as she tried to
raise him from the ground by pulling at his sleeve. "No, I'm not going

and, with a stick over my shoulder, set off into the wood, Woloda only
lay down on his back with his hands under his head, and said that he
supposed it was all the same whether he went or not. Such behaviour and
speeches cooled our ardour for the game and were very disagreeable--the
