"We will leave Russia out of the question for a time; but what do you find amiss in this match?" "Everything is amiss, everything. Lisaveta Mihalovna is a girl of high principles, serious, of lofty feelings, and he... he is a dilettante, in a word." "But suppose she loves him" Lemm got up from the bench.
In a whisper the told him no, but that the evening service had been arranged at the desire of Lisaveta Mihalovna and Marfa Timofyevna; that it had been intended to invite a wonder-working image, but that the latter had gone thirty versts away to visit a sick man.
Adalbert knew that, and that is why he went to the café, off to the remote sphere, yes indeed." "Well, God be with him, Batushka," said Lisaveta, washing her hands in a tin basin; "you don't have to follow him." "No, Lisaveta, I will not follow him, but only for the reason that I am now and then able to be a little ashamed before the spring-time of my artistry.
The old man muttered some reply, and Panshin continued in German, mispronouncing the words "Lisaveta Mihalovna showed me the religious cantata you dedicated to her a beautiful thing! Pray, do not suppose that I cannot appreciate serious music quite the contrary: it is tedious sometimes, but then it is very elevating."
"I ought not to have come," he said. "Why not, Tonio Kröger?" "I have just got up from my work, Lisaveta, and the inside of my head looks exactly like your canvas. A framework, a dim sketch soiled with alterations, and a few dabs of color, to be sure; and now I come here and see the same. And the conflict and contrast that tormented me at home I find here too," and he sniffed the air.
He was silent. He drew his slanting eyebrows together and whistled to himself. "Let me have your cup, Tonio. It is not strong. And take a fresh cigarette. And anyway, you know quite well that you look at things as they don't necessarily have to be looked at." "That is Horatio's answer, dear Lisaveta. ''Twere to consider too curiously, to consider so, am I not right?"
No, there I agree with my colleague, the criminal banker. But tell me, Lisaveta, don't you think I am endowed with the eloquence of a Hamlet today?" "Are you through now, Tonio Kröger?" "No. But I will say no more." "Nor do you need to. Do you expect an answer?" "Have you any?" "I should think I had.
Panshin exchanged cordial greetings with every one in the room; he shook hands with Marya Dmitrievna and Lisaveta Mihalovna, clapped Gedeonovsky lightly on the shoulder, and turning round on his heels, put his hand on Lenotchka's head and kissed her on the forehead. "Aren't you afraid to ride such a vicious horse?" Marya Dmitrievna questioned him.
To see clearly even through the tear-woven veil of emotion, to recognize, mark, observe, and be obliged to thrust aside one's perceptions with a smile at the very moment when hands clasp each other, lips meet, and when eyes grow dim, blinded with deep feeling it is infamous, Lisaveta, it is vile, revolting ... but what good in revolting?
On the way he met Panshin, who galloped past him on horseback, his hat pulled down to his very eyebrows. At the Kalitins', Lavretsky was not admitted for the first time since he had been acquainted with them. Marya Dmitrievna was "resting," so the footman informed him; her excellency had a headache. Marfa Timofyevna and Lisaveta Mihalovna were not at home.
