✦"Woman with a bag in front of him woke up and with a smile and started rubbing her forehead with her fists. The merchant passenger began speaking more quietly. The woman budged once again like she wanted to sleep, leaned onto the bundle so she's half laying, and sighed. Her dress was tightened over her right thigh." (. . .) "The woman with a bag could not sleep any longer, she sat up and looked through the window, after which she stared at the yellow flame of a petroleum lamp which glowed against the ceiling of the train wagon. Raban closed his eyes for a moment. Once he opened them again, woman with a bag was biting into a piece of cake covered in brown jam. The bundle next to her was unfolded. Merchant passenger smoked his cigar in silence and constantly made motions as if he was shaking off the ash from the tip. The other one had been using the tip of his knife to audibly tamper with the mechanism of a pocket watch."
