Olenin followed her with his eyes as long as she was in the hut, and then looked at the sword and waited, understanding nothing of what Granny Ulitka was telling him. A few minutes later some visitors arrived: an old man, Granny Ulitka's brother, with Daddy Eroshka, and following them came Maryanka and Ustenka. 'Good evening,' squeaked Ustenka.
