Just as the clammy mud had stuck to his aching little feet on the long, long road from Kazan in Russia to Irkutsk in Siberia, the road that seemed as if it would never end, so the recollection of it hung dark in his memory for many a long year in fact, until he grew to manhood and had other and better things to think about. And even then the mud was never to be quite for gotten, because the sight of Katia made him think of it at times, and at such times he smiled, though it was no smiling matter when he was up to his knees in it. For, you see, Katia had come to him in the mud and he had never forgotten the very first time he saw her.
