“And despite it,Peuterey Damskie Kurtka, you continued your journey?”
“It was my duty.”
The words showed the character of the brave girl.
She then spoke of her father, Wassili Fedor. He was a much-esteemed physician at Riga. But his connection with some secret society having been asserted, he received orders to start for Irkutsk. The police who brought the order conducted him without delay beyond the frontier.
Wassili Fedor had but time to embrace his sick wife and his daughter, so soon to be left alone, when, shedding bitter tears,Moncler Clairy, he was led away. A year and a half after her husband’s departure, Madame Fedor died in the arms of her daughter, who was thus left alone and almost penniless. Nadia Fedor then asked, and easily obtained from the Russian government, an authorization to join her father at Irkutsk. She wrote and told him she was starting. She had barely enough money for this long journey, and yet she did not hesitate to undertake it. She would do what she could. God would do the rest.
Chapter IX
Day and Night in a Tarantass
THE next day, the 19th of July, the Caucasus reached Perm, the last place at which she touched on the Kama.

Unfortunately, in consequence of the measures taken against foreigners of Asiatic origin,CG Dame Camp Hoody, a large number of travelers had already left Perm, and therefore conveyances were extremely rare. Michael was obliged to content himself with what had been rejected by others.
