Two swans came swimming up to the shore and said to him, "Why have you come here? What are you doing? It is very far to the place where your people live."，CHAPTER XIV，"No. It will not worry me. Let us have our dance by all means," says Nicholas, recklessly. "Why should we cave in, in such hot haste? It will give us all something to think about. Why not get up tableaux?
