Reading notes
- A Case from Practice §37 Polyanka
A street and district on the south bank of the Moskva River, a solidly respectable middle-class and merchant quarter of Moscow -- the family's winter address, as against their summer residence at the mill.
- Holy Simplicity §31 house on
Polyanka
Bolshaya Polyanka, a street in the Zamoskvorechye district south of the Moscow River, historically home to merchant families and the middle class -- a plausible, unglamorous Moscow address that lends the barrister's tall tale of a sixty-thousand-ruble house purchase a veneer of specific, checkable detail.
