Shaw's play Arms and the Man aims to satirize the glorification of war by presenting a realistic portrayal that removes notions of nobility. While Major Sergius Saranoff is celebrated for his daring cavalry raid against the Serbs, the play reveals it was actually a futile and suicidal gesture. In contrast, Captain Bluntschli's actions like climbing a water pipe to escape appear cowardly, but prove sensible for survival unlike Sergius' heroics. Ultimately, the play suggests practical efficiency, not aristocratic pretensions, wins wars. Bluntschli demonstrates this by easily handling military tasks that confound the aristocrats.

What are the social expectations for men according to pride and prejudice by ...KhandokerMufakkherHo1
The document discusses the social expectations for men according to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It states that men like Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy are held up as exemplars, as they display qualities of being gracious, polite, well-mannered, loyal to their families, and kind. In contrast, men like Mr. Collins and sometimes Mr. Bennet are ridiculed for being ridiculous, lacking social skills, and failing to properly care for their families.
Critical essays women's roles in early nineteenth century britain .KhandokerMufakkherHo1
This document discusses the limited options and role of women in early 19th century British society as context for Pride and Prejudice. It explains that young women's lives revolved around finding a suitable marriage, as their education focused on social accomplishments rather than academics. Without marriage, women had few ways to support themselves financially and faced a loss of social standing. The novel illustrates how marriage was essentially the only way for a woman like Elizabeth Bennet to have financial security and avoid becoming a burden to her family.
The document discusses Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. It notes that the novel is considered Austen's best and most popular work due to its use of wit, humor, and irony. It explores how characters like Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy come to overcome their pride and prejudices. The dialogue and conversations between characters are highlighted as particularly witty. Overall, the document analyzes elements like humor, irony and social commentary that contribute to Pride and Prejudice's acclaim and status as one of Austen's most celebrated novels.
The document discusses how money plays a central role in the plot of Pride and Prejudice. Because of an entailment law, the Bennet women will be in a dire financial situation after Mr. Bennet passes away. Translating the monetary amounts mentioned in the novel to modern U.S. dollar equivalents provides important context for understanding the characters' motivations and decisions. For example, Darcy has an income of £10,000 per year (around $800,000 today), while Elizabeth will be left with just £40 per year ($3,200) after her father's death. Accounting for inflation in this way reveals the true magnitude of financial transactions in the story.

Mrs. Dalloway follows Clarissa Dalloway, an upper-class housewife in London, as she prepares for a party. She encounters an old suitor, Peter Walsh, who is still obsessed with her rejecting his marriage proposal years ago. The story also follows Septimus Smith, a World War I veteran suffering from shell shock. Septimus believes he has lost the ability to feel and sees no purpose in life. He commits suicide to avoid being institutionalized by his psychiatrist. At Clarissa's party, the guests reflect on their unfulfilled dreams from youth. Clarissa identifies with Septimus's fate, feeling responsible for society pushing him to his death, though she finds purpose in her role as hostess.
Aunt Jennifer creates a tapestry depicting tigers that represent her suppressed feelings in a male-dominated marriage. The tigers prance proudly and fearlessly while Aunt Jennifer lives in fear under the weight of her wedding ring and husband. After her death, her hands will remain frozen in fear while the tigers in her tapestry continue to prance freely, representing how her art will outlive her oppressed life.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. The scene is set in Bulgaria in November of
1885, during the Serbo-Bulgarian war. In a
small town near the Dragoman Pass, a
young lady loiters on the balcony off her
bedchamber, looking out at the romantic
night in the Balkan Mountains.
4. Raina Petkoff is dressed in a nightgown
but covered by a costly fur mantle. Her
mother, Catherine Petkoff, interrupts
her, telling her of the recent nearby
battle at Slivnitza.
5. The Bulgarians won, and it was
her own fiancé, Sergius Saranoff,
who was the hero! They embrace
with delight as Catherine tells
the details.
6. Raina says that it only proves their ideas
were right. The ideas of heroism and
patriotism that she has doubted really do
exist! She admits that as she buckled on her
hero’s sword she wondered if the ideals were
only in books and poems. Now she knows
that Sergius is as brave as he looks.
7. Louka, a pretty servant girl, comes in to
announce that the windows must be shut
and fastened; there is fighting in the street.
The Serbs are running away and could be
dangerous. She locks the shutters, and
Catherine goes to see to the house.
8. Raina begs for the shutters to
stay open, saying that she wishes
her people would not be cruel to
the fugitives. Louka slyly shows
Raina how to open the shutters
again, and then leaves
9. Raina throws her cloak on the ottoman and
goes to the chest to admire a portrait of
Sergius. As she prepares to get into bed, she
hears a shot. Raina blows out the candles but
sees someone come in through the balcony
shutters.
10. A man’s voice warns her to be careful and to
strike a light so he can see her. In the light
she sees a Serbian officer in distress,
spattered with blood and mud.
11. He takes a threatening tone with
Raina, as she is an enemy, explaining
he does not intend to get killed.
12. Raina treats him disdainfully, comparing him
to her brave Sergius, who, she believes, is not
afraid to die. The man takes up her cloak so
she will not go out to call someone.
13. He tells her if they catch him they will
butcher him in front of her in her
room; then he throws his pistol on the
ottoman.
14. A Bulgarian patrol comes to the door of
the house. Raina and the stranger hear the
commotion as the search begins. The
fugitive suddenly gives in and says it’s all
over.
15. He gives Raina her cloak and tells her
not to look when they shoot him. Raina
generously says she will save him. She
puts him behind the window curtain.
16. Louka enters saying that a Serb was
seen climbing up to her balcony. She
exhorts Raina to dress and leave. Then
Louka sees the pistol on the ottoman
and freezes.
17. Catherine rushes in and asks if Raina
has seen anything. Raina lies and says
no. A Russian officer comes in to the
bedroom to search. Raina says there is
no one there and throws open the
balcony doors.
18. The officer withdraws, but Louka
takes in the scene, realizing what
Raina is doing, and laughs insolently
at her young mistress, assuming she
wants the fugitive for a lover.
19. Raina is outraged by his vulgarity, and
haughtily gives him some chocolates
from the dresser when he says he is
hungry.
20. She mocks him for acting frightened,
and he reminds her that she would be
frightened too if she had been on the
run with no sleep for three days.
21. When the man begins to describe the
cavalry charge, Raina is radiant with
expectation, but she is shocked when
he reveals Sergius’s brave act was due
to his horse running away with him.
22. The only reason the Bulgarians won
was that the Serbians had the wrong
ammunition for their guns. The victory
was a bizarre accident led by a fool.
23. Raina is insulted and asks him to leave,
but the man is too tired to climb down
from the balcony, and falls asleep in
Raina’s bed as she goes to find her
mother.
24. She has pledged to give asylum to
their enemy, as she once saw
happen in a romantic opera.
26. It is March 6, 1886 in the garden of the
Petkoff house. On a spring morning the
laundry is spread on the bushes to dry,
and breakfast is served on an outdoor
table.
27. Louka is defiantly smoking a cigarette
in view of the house, speaking to a
middle-aged servant, Nicola, an
intelligent and calculating man,
deferential to his employers.
28. Nicola warns the young Louka not to be
rebellious in her ways or she will be
fired. Nicola warns the young Louka
not to be rebellious in her ways or she
will be fired.
29. Nicola is engaged to Louka but says he
cannot marry her if she disgraces the
house. His dream is to save enough
money to open a shop in Sofia, but in
any case, he is dependent on the good
will of the Petkoff family.
30. Louka upbraids him for cowardice; she
knows family secrets that the Petkoffs
would not like told. Nicola explains that
they could destroy her reputation so
that no one would believe her stories.
31. He also knows family secrets, secrets
that would ruin Raina’s engagement.
Louka says she will never have the soul
of a servant as Nicola does.
32. Just then they hear a knock on the
gate; it is Major Petkoff, Raina’s father,
home from the war. He is a cheerful
man of fifty, and sits down to breakfast
in the garden.
33. Louka brings him coffee and brandy.
Catherine comes out to greet her
husband; he says the war is over, and
the command to demobilize the army
has come.
34. They chat about household affairs, and
Catherine announces they now have an
electric bell in the library to call the
servants. Petkoff sees nothing wrong in
shouting for the servants.
35. Sergius comes in the gate just then and
Petkoff asks his wife to keep Sergius
from bothering him about a promotion.
36. Catherine says he deserves a
promotion, but Petkoff tells her no one
will promote a foolhardy officer like
Sergius to be a general unless there is a
lasting peace.
37. Sergius comes into the garden, with the
cynical air of someone who has
become disenchanted with himself and
the world.
38. Catherine gives him lavish praise for
being the hero of the war, but Sergius is
quite aware that he is being criticized
for winning the battle in the wrong
way.
39. He says he has resigned. Catherine says
he must withdraw his resignation, and
he says proudly he never withdraws or
backs down on his word.
40. Raina makes a dramatic entrance,
beautiful and regal. Sergius kisses her
hand. Sergius continues his speech,
objecting to modern warfare as being a
tradesman’s game and no longer
chivalrous.
41. He was advised by a Swiss Raina
makes a dramatic entrance, beautiful
and regal.
42. He was advised by a Swiss officer to
give up soldiering. Petkoff says that
same Swiss Captain overcharged them
on the horses.
43. The women, hearing about the Swiss
officer, exchange glances, and ask if
there are many Swiss in the Serbian
army.
44. Only one, they are told. Sergius says
there is a story going around about
how he escaped with the help of two
Bulgarian women.
45. He was alone in the bedroom with the
younger woman. Raina scolds him for
telling them a vulgar story. Sergius
apologizes, saying that war has made
him coarse.
46. Petkoff asks Sergius to come into the
library and help him plan how to
demobilize the regiments.
47. He has no idea how to get them to
Philippopolis. Catherine says she will
help her husband, to give the young
people a few moments alone. The
young lovers greet one another.
48. Raina praises him as a hero; he praises
her as his inspiration. Raina says they
have found “the higher love” (p. 31).
Louka comes out to clear the table, and
the lovers decide to go for a walk to be
alone. Raina goes in to get her hat.
49. Sergius asks Louka if she knows what
“the higher love” is. She says, no. He
comments that it is fatiguing to keep
up.
50. He explains that you can tell an old
soldier from a young one. The old ones
carry food, the young ones,
ammunition. He needs relief. He begins
flirting with Louka.
51. He claims that he is half a dozen
Sergiuses, and Sergius the hero has been
replaced by another personality now.
Louka at first resists him, then chides
him for standing in view of the house,
for Raina will be spying on them.
52. Sergius enjoys Louka’s witty honesty
and tries to kiss her. She evades him,
saying the upper classes are hypocrites;
both he and Raina are cheating behind
the other’s back.
53. Sergius asks who his rival is, but Louka
says she will lose her place if she tells,
but she knows if the man ever comes
back, Raina will marry him.
54. Sergius grabs Louka’s arms until he
hurts her and accuses her of the
baseness of being a mere servant.
55. Louka answers back that he has proved
to her that he is no better than she is.
She accuses Raina of being a liar and
boasts she is worth six of her mistress.
56. Sergius suddenly apologizes to Louka
for hurting her, but she says she wants
more; she wants her hurt made well.
57. She offers her bruised arm to be kissed.
He says in his absolute manner, he
never will. Raina returns with her hat,
and Louka leaves.
58. Raina asks Sergius if he has been
flirting with Louka, and he says no.
Catherine enters and begs Sergius to go
help her husband manage the troops.
59. Sergius goes to the house. Catherine and
Raina discuss their difficulty about the
Swiss officer they helped. They are
afraid of being discovered for their
treason; Raina’s engagement is also at
stake.
60. Catherine says that her husband keeps
asking for the coat that she loaned to
the Swiss. Raina is furious with the
Swiss for another reason—for telling
other people about the incident.
61. The story is all over town. Raina, in a
moment of truth, says she wishes her
mother could marry Sergius, for he is a
favorite of her mother’s.
62. She herself longs to shock Sergius. She
doesn’t care if he finds out about “the
chocolate-cream soldier” (p. 37).
63. Raina leaves as Louka enters,
announcing a Serbian officer. He has
been asking for the lady of the house.
Catherine looks at his card: “Captain
Bluntschli.” Louka says it is a Swiss
name.
64. Catherine realizes it is the fugitive who
has come back to return the coat he
borrowed.
65. She asks that he be brought into the
garden, and that Nicola should bring
his bag with the coat in it right away.
67. Raina leaves as Louka enters,
announcing a Serbian officer. He has
been asking for the lady of the house.
68. Catherine looks at his card: “Captain
Bluntschli.” Louka says it is a Swiss
name.
69. Catherine realizes it is the fugitive who
has come back to return the coat he
borrowed. She asks that he be brought
into the garden, and that Nicola should
bring his bag with the coat in it right
away.
71. Catherine informs him he must leave
at once before her husband sees him.
He is disappointed but agrees.
72. He goes towards the house to collect
his bag, but Catherine says his bag will
be sent to him. He must leave by the
gate.
73. As Bluntschli writes his address on his
card, Major Petkoff comes from the
house and greets him warmly.
74. Sergius follows, and the three have a
happy reunion, while Catherine looks
on nervously.
75. The men ask Bluntschli to help with
sending the regiments home. Bluntschli
agrees to stay, and the three go arm in
arm to the house.
76. Raina, coming out, is surprised by
Bluntschli’s appearance and blurts out,
“The chocolate-cream soldier!” (p. 41).
77. The men ask Bluntschli to help with
sending the regiments home. Bluntschli
agrees to stay, and the three go arm in
arm to the house.
78. Raina, coming out, is surprised by
Bluntschli’s appearance and blurts out,
“The chocolate-cream soldier!” (p. 41).
79. Raina tries to cover up for her blunder
by explaining she had made a
chocolate-cream soldier ornament for
the pudding, and Nicola had spoiled it.
80. Petkoff begins ranting against Nicola,
who used to be efficient. Now, he is
making mistakes, like showing
Bluntschli into the garden instead of
the library.
81. Catherine scolds Nicola for bringing the
bag out to the garden. Raina tries to
cover up for her blunder by explaining
she had made a chocolate-cream
soldier ornament for the pudding, and
Nicola had spoiled it.
82. Petkoff begins ranting against Nicola,
who used to be efficient. Now, he is
making mistakes, like showing Bluntschli
into the garden instead of the library.
Catherine scolds Nicola for bringing the
bag out to the garden.
83. Petkoff begins ranting against Nicola,
who used to be efficient. Now, he is
making mistakes, like showing
Bluntschli into the garden instead of
the library. Catherine scolds Nicola for
bringing the bag out to the garden.
84. Nicola, confused, takes the insults as
part of his servant’s job of taking the
blame for everything.
85. Petkoff says he will fire the servants,
who have gotten out of hand while he
was gone. Meanwhile, everyone urges
Bluntschli to stay, including Raina.
87. The scene opens in the Petkoff library
after lunch. The library only has few
books and is used primarily as a sitting
room.
88. In the middle is a table, where
Bluntschli works to get the regiments
home in an orderly fashion.
89. He writes up the orders, and Sergius
signs them, while Major Petkoff reads a
newspaper, Catherine embroiders, and
Raina lies on a divan in a dreamy
mood.
90. Petkoff mentions he wishes he had his
old coat to make him more
comfortable. He hasn’t been able to
find it.
91. Catherine tells him it is in the blue
closet where it always is. Catherine
rings the bell and summons Nicola to
go to the blue closet and get the coat.
92. Petkoff bets his wife a new piece of
jewelry that it isn’t there. He tries to
get the others to join in the bet, but
Catherine won’t let them, knowing her
husband will have to pay.
93. Nicola comes back with the coat and says
it was in the blue closet. The orders are
finished, and Bluntschli tells the Major and
Sergius they should deliver them
personally. Petkoff asks his wife to come
too as the troops will be far more
frightened of her.
94. Bluntschli and Raina are alone. She
comments that he looks much better
than the last time she saw him.
95. She asks if his army was angry with him
for running away, and he says no
because they all ran away too.
96. She then says coyly that it must have
made a great story about how she hid
him in her room.
97. He says yes, it was a great story, but he
only told it to one friend on whom he
could rely.
98. Raina explains that his trusted friend
told it to Sergius and her father during
the exchange of prisoners.
99. Bluntschli is shocked. She insists that if
Sergius finds out the story is about her,
he will challenge Bluntschli to a duel.
100. Bluntschli has therefore compromised
her and is no gentleman, because her
relationship with Sergius is based on
truth, the one beautiful thing in her
life.
101. Bluntschli quips that she lied that
morning about the chocolate-cream
soldier! Raina claims it is only the
second time she has told a lie.
102. The first time was to save his life from
the Bulgarians. Raina gets indignant
and paces the room.
103. Bluntschli comments that when she
strikes that noble pose, he finds it
impossible to believe anything she
says. Raina instantly gives in and asks,
“How did you find me out?”(p. 51).
104. Raina is happy that a man has seen
through her acting. She admits she has
been dramatic since childhood, and
that Sergius believes in her pose.
105. Bluntschli replies that he is her admirer
as much as Sergius is. Raina asks what
he thought about her sending him her
portrait?
106. Bluntschli did not see the portrait,
which she put into the pocket of her
father’s coat. They realize the portrait
must still be in the coat.
107. Louka enters then with the mail and
puts letters on the table. She now
wears a bracelet over the bruise on her
arm.
108. The letters are for Bluntschli and the
messenger waits. Louka enters then
with the mail and puts letters on the
table.
109. She now wears a bracelet over the
bruise on her arm. The letters are for
Bluntschli and the messenger waits.
110. Bluntschli reads the letters and
announces that his father is dead. He
will have to leave to take care of his
affairs.
111. His father has left him a lot of hotels. He
is now a rich man. He runs out of the
room and Louka accuses him of having
no heart for his father’s death. Raina
follows Bluntschli as Nicola enters.
112. Nicola has been looking for Louka. He
shows her money that various family
members gave him for covering up for
them.
113. He offers to give her some to spend on
herself. Louka refuses the money,
contemptuous that he sells his soul in
this manner. She says he will never be
master of her.
114. Nicola reminds her of all the tips he
has given her on raising herself up to
be more lady-like.
115. If she plays her cards right with Sergius,
she could turn out to be one of his
aristocratic customers instead of his
wife.
116. He tells her, however, she is too sharp-
tongued. She must act like a lady if she
wants to get Sergius. Louka says she
has to be herself.
117. Sergius enters, and Nicola implies to
him that he has been scolding Louka
for reading; she is always trying to rise
above her station.
118. When alone with Louka, Sergius begins
flirting with her, asking how her bruise
is. He refuses to apologize for the
bruise.
119. Louka asks if the poor men in the
cavalry charge had to be any less brave
than the officers.
120. Sergius says no; all the soldiers were
brave and slashed the enemy, but the
poor soldiers are still afraid of their
own officers. Louka says that Sergius
does not know what true courage is.
121. Louka declares that if she were
Empress of Russia she would marry the
man she loved, which no queen in
Europe has the courage to do.
122. But he, Sergius, would not have the
courage to marry her if he were in love
with her, for fear of what others
thought.
123. Sergius, challenged, denies he would
not have the courage. He just happens
to be in love with another woman, he
tells her.
124. Louka says Raina will not marry him
now that the Swiss has come back.
Sergius is thunderstruck to learn his
rival is Bluntschli.
125. Louka says that Bluntschli is worth ten
of Sergius, and furthermore, Sergius is
not good enough to marry her (Louka).
126. Sergius is discouraged, but he reminds
Louka before she goes out the door
that she belongs to him because she
loves him, and if he ever touches her
again, he will be touching his future
bride. He stands proudly as if to say he
has given his word and will not relent.
127. Bluntschli comes into the room, and
Sergius accuses him of being his rival
for Raina’s affections.
128. He challenges him to a duel. Bluntschli
accepts. Raina enters and asks what
the fight is about.
129. Bluntschli says he doesn’t know, but
not to worry, he is so good with a
sword that Sergius won’t touch him,
and he won’t hurt him. After the fight,
he’ll leave and they can make up.
130. Sergius accuses Raina of being in love
with Bluntschli, and Bluntschli replies
that is ridiculous; the young lady
doesn’t even know if he is married or
not.
131. Raina blames Bluntschli’s friend for
spreading the story about her, and
Sergius says it was not the friend who
told it to him.
132. She guesses it was Louka and then
accuses him of flirting with her behind
her back. She says that Sergius should
actually fight with his rival, Nicola..
133. Sergius is consumed with anger and
jealousy to think that Louka is already
engaged. Sergius and Raina argue, but
Bluntschli’s good nature prevails, and
soon all are laughing at the absurdities
134. Sergius finds Louka listening at the door
and drags her into the room. She admits
her love for Sergius. Major Petkoff
enters and asks what is the matter.
Everyone is quiet.
135. Nicola enters with Petkoff’s newly
mended coat and Raina rushes to take it
from him, pulling her portrait out of the
pocket and throwing it on the table
while Bluntschli covers it with a piece of
paper, as Sergius watches them,
amazed.
136. Their trouble is in vain, for Major
Petkoff has already seen the photo; he
repeats the message that was written
on the back: “Raina, to her Chocolate
Cream Soldier: a Souvenir” (p. 66).
137. Petkoff tries to solve the mystery,
walking up to Sergius and asking if he is
the chocolate- cream soldier. Sergius
denies it. Bluntschli reveals himself and
says Raina saved his life by giving him
chocolate.
138. Petkoff gasps at finding his wife and
daughter are the women in the story
who saved the enemy.
139. Raina remarks that she did not know
Bluntschli was married, and Bluntschli
protests that he is not married.
140. Petkoff asks Raina in some
exasperation whom she is engaged to,
and she says neither man.
141. The only engagement is Louka to
Sergius. Petkoff replies in confusion
that Louka is engaged to Nicola. Nicola
denies this.
142. Bluntschli pronounces Nicola the
ablest man in Bulgaria and vows to
make him manager of one of his hotels.
Louka comes forward to tell Sergius he
owes her an apology.
143. As he kisses her hand on bended knee,
she reminds him of his vow and claims
they are now officially engaged. He
consents, putting his arm around her.
144. Catherine enters, shocked at this scene
of Louka in Sergius’s arms. Louka
explains that she knew Raina would not
marry Sergius if the Swiss came back.
This alerts Bluntschli to the surprising
truth that Raina cares for him.
145. He admits he came back for another
look at her, though he thought her far
above him. When he finds out that
Raina is of age, he asks for her hand in
marriage.
146. Petkoff objects, saying they are
aristocrats, and Bluntschli is a nobody.
Bluntschli produces the papers showing
he owns two hundred horses, seventy
carriages, and a whole list of
possessions proving he is quite
wealthy.
147. After objecting to being given to the
highest bidder, Raina gives in, saying
she gives her hand not to a rich man
but only to her chocolate-cream
soldier.
