I remember that among other things he asked about Rakitin and the twenty-five roubles “you paid him for bringing Alexey Fyodorovitch Karamazov to see you.”
"I had no time; I am very busy," Alexey Alexandrovitch responded dryly. "Come to my wife, she does so want to see you." Alexey Alexandrovitch unfolded the rug in which his frozen feet were wrapped, and getting out of his carriage made his way over the snow to Darya Alexandrovna. "Why, Alexey Alexandrovitch, what are you cutting us like this for?" said Dolly, smiling. "I was very busy.
Oh, how I slept! I never understood what sleep meant till now. I bless you with both hands. Your Asiatic brother, A. CHEKHOV. IRKUTSK, June 5, 1890. A thousand greetings to you, dear Alexey Nikolaevitch. At last I have vanquished the most difficult three thousand versts; I am sitting in a decent hotel and can write.
"Say that there is no answer," said Countess Lidia Ivanovna, and immediately opening her blotting-book, she wrote to Alexey Alexandrovitch that she hoped to see him at one o'clock at the levee. "I must talk with you of a grave and painful subject. There we will arrange where to meet. Best of all at my house, where I will order tea as you like it. Urgent.
“You won’t make me blush, dear young lady, kissing my hand like this before Alexey Fyodorovitch.” “Do you think I meant to make you blush?” said Katerina Ivanovna, somewhat surprised. “Ah, my dear, how little you understand me!” “Yes, and you too perhaps quite misunderstand me, dear young lady. Maybe I’m not so good as I seem to you. I’ve a bad heart; I will have my own way.
Why is it, old man, that people don't invent some other pleasure besides drunkenness and debauchery? It's really horrible!" "You had better send for the gypsy girls." "Confound them!" The head of an old gypsy woman appeared in the door from the passage. "Alexey Semyonitch, the gypsies are asking for tea and brandy," said the old woman. "May we order it?" "Yes," answered Frolov.
Alexey has been drinking, Vanka is laughing, Akulka's face he could not see, she had muffled herself up. "You never know, he'll get the children frozen..." thought Gusev. "Lord send them sense and judgment that they may honour their father and mother and not be wiser than their parents." "They want re-soleing," a delirious sailor says in a bass voice. "Yes, yes!"
"That is, in what way precisely?" Karenin said softly. "Yes, pity on her. If you had seen her as I have! I have been spending all the winter with her you would have pity on her. Her position is awful, simply awful!" "I had imagined," answered Alexey Alexandrovitch in a higher, almost shrill voice, "that Anna Arkadyevna had everything she had desired for herself."
The first telegram was the announcement of Stremov's appointment to the very post Karenin had coveted. Alexey Alexandrovitch flung the telegram down, and flushing a little, got up and began to pace up and down the room. "Quos vult perdere dementat," he said, meaning by quos the persons responsible for this appointment.
Katerina Ivanovna at once made her sit down in an arm-chair facing Alyosha, and ecstatically kissed her several times on her smiling lips. She seemed quite in love with her. “This is the first time we’ve met, Alexey Fyodorovitch,” she said rapturously. “I wanted to know her, to see her. I wanted to go to her, but I’d no sooner expressed the wish than she came to me.
