"I was travelling post from Tiflis" [along the Georgian Military Highway] |
|
"What a delightful place, that valley!" |
|
|
|
". . . below, the Aragva river, infolding another, nameless river. . . ." |
|
"We could already distinguish the post station, as well as the roofs of the Caucasian huts. . ." |
|
|
|
"the road seemed to lead up into the sky because, as far as the eye could see, it kept ascending and, finally, it lost itself in the cloud. . . ." |
"MAKSIM MAKSIMICH"
|
|
"[there] followed . . . an empty travelling calash; there was a foreign touch about its easy ride, comfortable arrangement and smart appearance." |
"TAMAN"
|
"we drove up to a shanty on the very edge of the sea" |
|
"PRINCESS MARY"
|
|
"'This Princess Mary is extremely pretty,' I said to him." |
