“К его (пансиона для девочек) начальницам... я отношусь хотя и сдержанно (съездив ненадолго за границу для завершения образования, они порядком набрались там разных вычуров, кривлянья и жеманства), но с должным уважением, какого, думаю, заслуживают все женщины, бесстрашно глядящие в лицо жизни и добывающие пропитание своим трудом.”
