"Once, after the lesson," Anna began hesitatingly, "he gallantly helped me into my jacket. And then suddenly he drew me to him, took me in his arms and kissed me."

"And...."
"And then ... then voices came near, he let go my hand and it was all over."
"All over?"
"Yes, over ... of course it was all over."
