'I was just saying to Anna Arkadyevna,' remarked Vorkuyev, 'that if she were to devote to the general business of educating Russian children a hundredth part of the energy she bestows on this English child she would be doing a great and useful work.'
— Io, ecco, stavo dicendo ad Anna Arkad’evna — disse Vorkuev — che, qualora dedicasse sia pure una centesima parte dell’energia, che adopera per questa inglese, alla causa comune dell’educazione dei bambini russi, Anna Arkad’evna compirebbe un’opera grande e utile.
