I think a few hard words in Russian, pointing him right direction though, kept him away and, probably, saved my life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The next morning a sheriff came to us, looking for a criminal who supposes to hide there. The sheriff himself looked suspicious, hm&#8230; Too much briolin was on his hair when he took off his hat, too well-done nails, too smart goggles, too soft voice, too serious eyes, no smiling.
