Description:Excerpt from The Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 24: January to June, 1895The speaker finished his remark with a short laugh. He was a big, stout man. His name was Karl Steinmetz, and it is a name well known in the Government of Tver to this day. He spoke jerkily, as stout men do when they ride, and when he had laughed his good-natured, half - cynical laugh, he closed his lips beneath a huge grey moustache. So far as one could judge from the action of a square and deeply indented chin, his mouth was expressive at that time - and possibly at all times - of a humorous resignation. No reply was vouchsafed to him, and Karl Steinmetz bumped along on his little Cossack horse, which was stretched out at a gallop.Evening was drawing on. It was late in October, and a cold wind was driving from the north-west across a plain which for sheer dismalness of aspect may give points to Sahara and beat that abode of mental depression without an effort. So far as the eye could reach there was no habitation to break the line of horizon. A few stunted fir trees, standing in a position of perma ment deprecation, With their backs turned, as it were, to the north, stood sparsely on the plain. The grass did not look good to eat, though the Cossack horses would no doubt have liked to try it.This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
