Makar Semenof did not listen to Aksenof, and confessed his guilt. But when Aksenof’s release arrived, he was already dead.
FOOTNOTES:
[4] It will be observed that Aksenof is also called Dmitrievich (Son of Dmitri) and Dmitrich, and that the name of another character is variously spelled Semenof, Semenovich, and Semenich. The translator has preserved these forms as they are in the original. Such changing of name-forms is by no means uncommon in Russian stories.
