Excerpt from Reminiscences of Tolstoy
Ilya, the third, has never been ill in his life; broad-boned, white and pink, jovial, bad at lessons. Is always thinking about What he is told not to think about. Invents his own games. Hot-tempered and violent,'1 wants to fight at once; but is also tender-hearted and very sensi tive. Sensuous; fond of eating and lying still doing nothing. When he eats currant-jelly and buck-wheat kasha 2 his lips itch. Independent minded in everything. When he cries, is vicious and horrid at the same time; when he laughs, every one laughs too. Everything forbidden delights him; he recognises it at once.
When he was quite a mite he overheard some one saying that a pregnant woman feels the child moving inside her; for a long time after wards his favourite game was to put any round thing he could find under his jacket and stroke it with tense fingers, whispering with a smile This is baby.' He used to stroke all the bumps where the springs had gone wrong in the arm-chairs and furniture, murmuring Baby.'
