Excerpt from The Lame Princ: A Story
By midnight the moon stood over Kolyvan, lit up the irregular windows of the log-cabins on one side, sent the black shadows along the trampled sorrel of the village street on the other, and then disappeared behind a solitary cloud that had strayed into the night sky. This was the time when an open carriage drawn by three horses abreast, the harness bells muffled, came racing hell for leather through the village.
The cocks had not yet begun their matutinal crowing but the dogs had already ceased their yelping and the only light visible was that which shone through the cracks in the shutters of the last house in the village.
A long pole on top of which was a hoop with a bundle of hay tied to it, stuck up above the gambrel roof of the gate telling the traveller from afar that this house was an inn. Beyond the inn the flat steppe, grey in the moon light, stretched away into the distance; it was in this direction that the lathered horses were being driven, the regular gallop of the trace-horses and fast trot of the shaft-horse sounding dully in the silence of the night. The man in the carriage raised his cane and touched the coachman. The horses sat back on their haunches and pulled up in front of the inn.
The man unwound a travelling rug from his legs, climbed out by holding on to the coachman's box and limped across the grass to the low porch of the inn. There he turned back and spoke softly to the coachman.
