"And when you were getting yourself up for Dasha you sprinkled yourself with scent," she said suddenly, in a terrible whisper. Stepan Trofimovitch was dumbfoundered. "You put on a new tie..." Again silence for two minutes. "Do you remember the cigar?" "My friend," he faltered, overcome with horror.
She thought that a white waistcoat in the country was bad form, and his elaborate politeness, his manners, and his pale, serious face with dark eyebrows, were mawkish; and it seemed to her that he was perpetually silent, probably because he was stupid. When he had gone her aunt said enthusiastically: "Well? Isn't he charming?" Auntie Dasha looked after the estate.
Now I'm your confidante, and about everything, everything, you understand?" Stepan Trofimovitch was alarmed at once. "Oh, Mavriky Nikolaevitch knows everything, don't mind him!" "What does he know?"

The citizen of the canton of Uri was hanging there behind the door.
"I have never seen her," Dasha answered quietly, and after a pause she added at once: "She must be the invalid sister of Captain Lebyadkin." "And it's the first time I've set eyes on you, my love, though I've been interested and wanted to know you a long time, for I see how well-bred you are in every movement you make," Marya Timofyevna cried enthusiastically.
