Who Is to Blame? A Russian Riddle Quotes

“Even when she and Feodor had crawled about on all fours, they were as inseparable as cold from winter. Some of their earliest memories were of each other’s face. Through the years, Elizaveta, Katya, and Feodor had gathered mushrooms in the shaded summer woods, pummeled each other with snowballs during the endless months of ice and frozen breath, and put their heads together year-round to hatch all manner of childhood pranks. But somewhere along the way, Elizaveta and Feodor had tumbled into that unique closeness that allows room for only two people. Games of hide-and-seek among the cemetery’s tombstones gave way to tickle-and-kiss in the fragrant meadow grass.”
