Latin. Kolya believes that the classical languages "stupefy the intellect." He's first in his class in Latin, but he still thinks it beneath him. He loves studying mathematics and natural science the most. Kolya's not too fond of history, but he doesn't think it's nearly as insignificant as the classical languages.
Sabaneyev. Kolya walked away brusquely as if it was imbecilic to not know who Sabaneyev was. The young man had impudently stopped Kolya to ask him if he was at his pranks again. Kolya tells him that he's on Trifon Nikitich's business, and the young man doesn't need to know about it.

Kolya had taught it a few tricks, and Ilyusha was grateful to see Zhutchka again. The dog must've spit out the bread, because it certainly would've died with the pin in its belly.

Perezvon is the name Kolya gives Zhutchka so that he can surprise Ilyusha.
Teucer, Dardanus, Ilius, and Tros. A boy, Kartashov, looked in Smaragdov and found the answer. However, when he told the rest of his schoolfellows, Kolya asked him, "In what sense did they found it?
