    Fragment 40

    Обласкав бедную сироту, государыня ее отпустила. Марья Ивановна уехала в той же придворной карете. Анна Власьевна, нетерпеливо ожидавшая ее возвращения, осыпала ее вопросами, на которые Марья Ивановна отвечала кое-как. Анна Власьевна хотя и была недовольна ее беспамятством, но приписала оное провинциальной застенчивости и извинила великодушно. В тот же день Марья Ивановна, не полюбопытствовав взглянуть на Петербург, обратно поехала в деревню... After overwhelming the poor orphan with caresses, the Tzarina dismissed her. Marya Ivanovna returned from the palace in the same coach. Anna Vlasyevna, who had been impatiently awaiting her coming back, showered her with questions which Marya Ivanovna could barely answer. Although dissatisfied with her forgetfulness, Anna Vlasyevna attributed it nevertheless to provincial shyness and forgave her magnanimously. Marya started the same day for my father's country house, without having even had the curiosity to take a look at Petersburg.
