TOWEL RACKS & HOLDERS: parting words for the night. So Polikey and his wife went to sleep in a happy frame of mind and full of bright dreams for the future. CHAPTER IV. Very early the next morning, almost before the stars had hidden themselves from view, there was seen standing before Polikey's home a low wagon, the same in which the towel racks & holders himself used to ride; and harnessed to it was a large-boned, dark-brown mare, called for some unknown reason by the name of Baraban (drum).
