Alexyéi Sergyéitch was extremely fond of choral songs and dances, as I have already said; he could never refrain from shouting: 'Send hither Vániushka! the little coachman! Give us 'the fish, be lively! and a minute later he would whisper in ecstasy: 'Akh, what a devil of a man he is!"
He did not speedily succeed in waking her ... but as soon as she saw him she flung herself on his neck, and embraced him convulsively; her whole body was quivering. "What aileth thee, my dear one, what aileth thee?" said Fabio repeatedly, striving to soothe her. But she continued to lie as in a swoon on his breast. "Akh, what dreadful visions I see!" she whispered, pressing her face against him.
"Akh, master!" sighed the poor fellow, heavily. "And on what friendly terms she and I lived together! She died in my absence. When I heard here that they had already buried her, I hurried immediately to the village, home. It was already after midnight when I arrived. I entered my cottage, stopped short in the middle of it, and said so softly: 'Masha! hey, Masha! Only a cricket shrilled.
Those who kill with the Dankaleh, a poisonous juice rubbed upon meat, are always put to death by the members of their own tribe. The Abban or protector of the Somali country is the Mogasa of the Gallas, the Akh of El Hejaz, the Ghafir of the Sinaitic Peninsula, and the Rabia of Eastern Arabia.
Akh, what will become of thee! What will become of thee! Thou wilt burst like a puff-ball.... And I shall be responsible for it! And how they drink, those military gentlemen o-ho-ho!
He drank up the dregs of the wine still left in the bottle, and when he had finished it he said: "AKH! PARDON, maybe you wanted some more. It was horribly careless of me. Le matin je sortais, visits, 5 heures regulierement. I used to go and dine with her; often she was alone. Il faut avouer que c'etait une femme ravissante! You didn't know her at all, did you?" "No."
Or shall I dance a bit?" "Akh, please drop that! What occasion is there for dancing? Thou hadst better sit down." "I don't mind sitting down.... But why don't you say something about my greys? Just look at them, they're regular lions! I'm hiring them for the time being, but I shall certainly buy them together with the coachman. It is incomparably cheaper to own one's horses.
Some one's fingers ran over the keys of the piano in light arpeggios.... Then the voice began to speak again. More prolonged sounds made themselves audible ... like moans ... always the same. And then words began to detach themselves.... "Roses ... roses ... roses.".... "Roses," repeated Arátoff in a whisper. "Akh, yes! The roses which I saw on the head of that woman in my dream...."
Iván listened to his master, first made obeisance to his very feet, and then informed him that it was as his mercy liked, but he could not be his servant. "Release me on quit-rent, Your High-Born," he said, "or make a soldier of me; otherwise there will be a catastrophe before long." The master flared up. "Akh, damn thee! What is this thou darest to say to me?
"Akh, why ... why are you like this? ..." she said with irresistibly sincere and upright force and what a touching ring there was to her voice! "Is it possible that my appeal to you can have offended you?... Is it possible that you have understood nothing?... Ah, yes! You have not understood anything, you have not understood what I said to you.
