"It is dull work playing for other folk to dance,and Sadko dared not dance with any young girl,for he had no money to marry on,and he did not want to be chased away as a beggar.And the young women of Novgorod,they never looked at the handsome Sadko. No;they smiled with their bright eyes at the young men who danced with them,and if they ever spoke to Sadko, it was just to tell him sharply to keep the music going or to play faster."
