Madam

Zdrastvuyitye, my dear madam could I lend you a hand?

Nyet pozhalusta, I prefer to walk home alone.

She held onto the mace firmly, hidden by her purse.

Izvini, and pardon me for getting in the way.

He backed away and made sure no one was following her.

She rounded a corner where she was finally sure, and took her hand off the mace.
