Don’t fancy for an instant, my dear Agellius, that you have anything whatever to get over.” Agellius was getting awkward and mortified, as may be easily conceived, and Jucundus saw it, but could not make out why. “My dear uncle,” said the youth, “you are reproaching me.” “Not a bit of it,” said Jucundus, confidently, “not a shadow of reproach; why should I reproach you?

It was a fine night; I established myself out of sight under the doorway of an unfinished house opposite, and waited. I don’t know why; perhaps I fancied that when his friends were gone, the fineness of the night might induce Monsieur Steinmetz to take a stroll, and that then I should be able to gratify my curiosity. You see, I knew that if he were my man, I should know him directly.

Spite of myself, terrible suspicions have forced themselves on me. No; I don’t mean that,” she cried, suddenly checking herself and changing her tone; “don’t heed what I said; it was madness in me to say what I did.

There’s only Ilusha who comes home from school and loves me. Yesterday he brought me an apple. Forgive your own motherforgive a poor lonely creature! Why has my breath become unpleasant to you?”
