Viktre watched the way Pip responded to the doctor's name and frowned but she had paused after he mentioned the artist.  "Is he good man?  Good home for you and mladenets?  I will make sure money in bank for life for him, as I am father.  You decide if he ever know of me other than maybe friend of you, but that up to you.  I make sure he not need anything.  But what husband you get needs to have good home and treat you well with all you need too."  He said firmly. 

"If not, then you could go to my family in Russia.  Is good home and my mother would spoil you and mladenets."  He chuckled.  "She want me have family.  I could marry but here not good for you with me with sailor and dock workers.  Would need to live with family back home."  He said thinking about it, trying to figure out how to deal with this.  He was still not totally all out of the shock of it all.
