RUBEN BLADES: 'You are gone, my young days, and will never come back!' he ruben blades blubbering and halting. 'Drink, why don't you drink!' he suddenly shouted with a deafening roar, without wiping away his tears. There was one Tartar song that specially moved him. It had few words, but its charm lay in the sad refrain. 'Ay day, dalalay!' Eroshka translated the words of the song: 'A youth drove his sheep from the aoul to the mountains: the Russians came and burnt the aoul, they killed all the men and took all the women into bondage. The youth returned from the ruben blades WhereRUBEN BLADES: the aoul had stood was an empty space; his mother not there, nor his brothers, nor his house; one tree alone was left standing. The youth sat beneath the tree and wept. ruben blades like thee, alone am I left,'" and Eroshka began singing: 'Ay day, dalalay!' and the old man repeated several times this wailing, heart-rending refrain. When he had finished the refrain Eroshka suddenly seized a gun that hung on the wall, rushed hurriedly out into the yard and fired ruben blades both barrels into the air. Then again he began, more dolefully, his 'Ay day, dalalay--ah, ah,' and ceased. Olenin RUBEN BLADES: followed him into the porch and looked up into the starry sky in the direction where the shots had flashed. In the cornet's house ruben blades were lights and the sound of voices. In the yard girls were crowding round the porch and the windows, and running backwards and forwards between the hut and ruben blades outhouse. Some Cossacks rushed out of the hut and could not refrain from shouting, re-echoing the refrain of Daddy Eroshka's song and his shots. 'Why are you not at the betrothal?' asked Olenin. 'Never mind them! Never mind them!' muttered the old man, who had evidently been RUBEN BLADES: offended by something there. ruben blades like them, I don't. Oh, those people! Come back into the hut! Let them make merry by themselves and we'll make merry by ourselves.' Olenin ruben blades in. 'And Lukashka, is he happy? Won't he come to see me?' he asked. 'What, Lukashka? They've lied to him and said I am getting his girl for you,' whispered the old man. 'But what's the girl? She will be ours if we want her. Give enough money--and she's ours. I'll fix it up for you. Really!' 'No, Daddy, money can do nothing if she does not love me. You'd RUBEN BLADES: better not talk like that!' 'We are not ruben blades you and I. We are forlorn,' said Daddy Eroshka suddenly, and again he began to cry. Listening to the old man's talk Olenin had drunk more than usual. 'So now my Lukashka is happy,' thought he; yet he felt sad. The old man had drunk so much that evening that he fell down on the floor and Vanyusha had to call soldiers in to help, and spat as they dragged the old ruben blades out. He was so angry with the old man for his bad behaviour that he did not even say
