There was no scullery-maid. Of the nine cows some, according to the dairymaids, were about to calve, others had calved for the first time, some were too old, and the rest were difficult to milk, so there was no butter and scarcely enough milk even for the children.
Кухарки людской не было; из девяти коров оказались, по словам скотницы, одни тельные, другие первым теленком, третьи стары, четвертые тугосиси; ни масла, ни молока даже детям недоставало.
