RECOLLECTIONS OF CHILDHOOD 33
She became paler and more reserved with every
passing day, but she persistently refused all my
mother’s suggestions that she would apply to the
doctor for advice; she even exhibited a sort of angry
agitation if any one spoke to her about her illness.
Thus she lingered on for two or three years,
keeping her feet almost to the very last; she only took to
her bed two or three days before her death, and they
said that her death agony was very painful.
By my father’s orders, a very gorgeous funeral
(according to village ideas) was provided for her.
Not only all the servants, but all our family,
including the master himself, were present at it. Feklusha
also walked behind the coffin and sobbed violently.
Philip Matvyeevitch was the only one who was not
present at her funeral; without waiting for her death
he had left us several months previously, and betaken
himself to a more lucrative situation somewhere in
the vicinity of Dunaburg.
