"Прошла через огонь и воду", - говорили о ней (Тургенев 2). She [Madame Odintsov] was not popular in the province:...all sorts of impossible stories were invented about her: it was asserted that she had helped her father in his gambling escapades....'There's nothing she doesn't know," they said of her...
