"The fellow has sucked everything out of me, and now he takes off his mask there's something more than appears, here we shall see. It shall all be as clear as water by tonight, everything!" But by this time they had reached Gania's house. The flat occupied by Gania and his family was on the third floor of the house.
There was another witness, who, though standing at the door motionless and bewildered himself, still managed to remark Gania's death-like pallor, and the dreadful change that had come over his face. This witness was the prince, who now advanced in alarm and muttered to Gania: "Drink some water, and don't look like that!"
What, you are going to leave us are you, too?" he cried, turning to the prince, who was rising from his chair. Gania's voice was full of the most uncontrolled and uncontrollable irritation. The prince turned at the door to say something, but perceiving in Gania's expression that there was but that one drop wanting to make the cup overflow, he changed his mind and left the room without a word.
Gania's face was full of real despair; he seemed to have said the words almost unconsciously and on the impulse of the moment.
The prince observed Gania's eyes flashing at him, as though they would gladly annihilate him then and there. "That's a kind-hearted man, if you like," said Daria Alexeyevna, whose wrath was quickly evaporating. "A refined man, but lost," murmured the general. Totski took his hat and rose to go.
It was clear that he came out with these words quite spontaneously, on the spur of the moment. But his speech was productive of much for it appeared that all. Gania's rage now overflowed upon the prince. He seized him by the shoulder and gazed with an intensity of loathing and revenge at him, but said nothing as though his feelings were too strong to permit of words. General agitation prevailed.
When Muishkin heard about the candle and Gania's finger he had laughed so that he had quite astonished Hippolyte, and then shuddered and burst into tears. The prince's condition during those days was strange and perturbed. Hippolyte plainly declared that he thought he was out of his mind; this, however, was hardly to be relied upon.
Why do you tie up your bell?" she said, merrily, as she pressed Gania's hand, the latter having rushed up to her as soon as she made her appearance. "What are you looking so upset about? Introduce me, please!" The bewildered Gania introduced her first to Varia, and both women, before shaking hands, exchanged looks of strange import.
Hardly, however, had the old lady begun about her "highly gratified feelings," and so on, when Nastasia left her, and flounced into a chair by Gania's side in the corner by the window, and cried: "Where's your study? and where are the the lodgers? You do take in lodgers, don't you?"
Lermontoff's Bal Masque is based on that idea a stupid and unnatural one, in my opinion; but he was hardly more than a child when he wrote it." "I like your sister very much." "Did you see how she spat in Gania's face! Varia is afraid of no one. But you did not follow her example, and yet I am sure it was not through cowardice. Here she comes! Speak of a wolf and you see his tail!
