To go with her or send her on beforehand will be more convenient for him," said Samoylenko. "He'll be delighted indeed. Well, goodbye." He said good-bye affectionately and went out, but before shutting the door after him, he looked round at Von Koren and, with a ferocious face, said: "It's the Germans who have ruined you, brother! Yes! The Germans!"
That is the one thing, brother, which has survived intact from natural selection, and, if it were not for that obscure force regulating the relations of the sexes, the Laevskys would have it all their own way, and mankind would degenerate in two years." Laevsky came into the drawing-room, greeted every one, and shaking hands with Von Koren, smiled ingratiatingly.
They will say: 'The deacon was a second." "Gentlemen," said Von Koren, "the deacon asks you not to tell any one you've seen him here. He might get into trouble." "How contrary to human nature it is!" sighed the deacon. "Excuse my saying so, but your face was so dreadful that I thought you were going to kill him."
They took their seats, and the only ones missing were Nadyezhda Fyodorovna and Atchmianov, who were running after one another, laughing, the other side of the stream. "Make haste, my friends," shouted Samoylenko. "You oughtn't to give ladies wine," said Von Koren in a low voice.
The friends parted near the boulevard. When the doctor disappeared in the darkness and his steps had died away, Von Koren shouted to him: "I only hope the weather won't interfere with us to-morrow!" "Very likely it will! Please God it may!" "Good-night!" "What about the night? What do you say?" In the roar of the wind and the sea and the crashes of thunder, it was difficult to hear.
And the whole house seemed resounding with his shouts. When it was ten or fifteen minutes to two the deacon would come in; he was a lanky young man of twenty-two, with long hair, with no beard and a hardly perceptible moustache. Going into the drawing-room, he crossed himself before the ikon, smiled, and held out his hand to Von Koren. "Good-morning," the zoologist said coldly.
There is a story that some German sent William I. a fur coat made of moleskins, and the Emperor ordered him to be reproved for having destroyed so great a number of useful animals. And yet the mole is not a bit less cruel than your little beast, and is very mischievous besides, as he spoils meadows terribly." Von Koren opened a box and took out a hundred-rouble note.
Von Koren and the deacon finished their tea and went out into the street. "Are you going to the harbour again to catch sea-gudgeon?" asked the zoologist. "No, it's too hot." "Come and see me. You can pack up a parcel and copy something for me. By the way, we must have a talk about what you are to do. You must work, deacon. You can't go on like this."
Kirilin walked behind her with Nikodim Alexandritch, and kept humming in an undertone: "I don't al-low people to play with me! I don't al-low it." From the boulevard they went back to the pavilion and walked along the beach, and looked for a long time at the phosphorescence on the water. Von Koren began telling them why it looked phosphorescent.
John Koren, International Prison Commissioner for the United States, was throughout this agitation making a study of this very problem. As chairman of a Special Commit- Speech before the French Chamber of Deputies May 16, 1876, advocating amnesty for those who participated in the Commune of 1871. From the Annales de la Chambre des Deputes, 1876, v. 2, pp. 44-48.
