Sister Pelagia And The Black Monk - Plot & Excerpts
Korovin arrived, in fact on the very evening before, the bishop and Sister Pelagia had a conversation about men and women. In fact, His Grace and his spiritual daughter argued about this subject quite often, but on this occasion the pretext for their clash happened to be the question of strength and weakness. Pelagia attempted to prove that women should never have been dubbed the “weaker sex,” for it was not true, except perhaps in the matter of muscular strength, and even there it was not always true of everyone. The nun got quite carried away and even offered to run or swim in a race against the bishop in order to see who was quicker, but she immediately came to her senses and apologized. Mitrofanii, however, was not in the least bit angry; he simply laughed.“The two of us would make a fine sight,” said His Grace. “Just imagine us dashing along Bolshaya Dvoryanskaya Street at full speed, with our cassocks tucked up, flinging up our heels, me with my beard flapping in the wind, you with your ginger locks fluttering about.
