with Alexander Nikolaevitch (Emperor and subject.) “What should we think? Alexander Nikolaevitch our Emperor has thought for us; he thinks for us indeed in all things.”
with Grisha (Mihalitch offers more bread for Grisha.) “Shall I bring a bit more bread? Give the little lad some more?” he said addressing Darya Alexandrovna and pointing to Grisha, who had finished his crust.”
with Alexander Nikolaevitch (Mihalitch recognizes Alexander Nikolaevitch as his Emperor and ultimate authority.) “What should we think? Alexander Nikolaevitch our Emperor has thought for us; he thinks for us indeed in all things. It’s clearer for him to see.”

with Levin (Levin shared Mihalitch’s expressed political view.) “He said as Mihalitch did and the people, who had expressed their feeling in the traditional invitations of the Varyagi: ‘Be princes and rule over us. Gladly we promise complete submission. All the labor, all humiliations, all sacrifices we take upon ourselves; but we will not judge and decide.’”
