Masha took it into her head to start a game of 'catch-catch. Maid-servants and footmen came out; Mr. Perekatov stood with his wife, Kister with Masha. The maids ran with deferential little shrieks; Mr. Perekatov's valet had the temerity to separate Nenila Makarievna from her spouse; one of the servant-girls respectfully paired off with her master; Fyodor Fedoritch was not parted from Masha.
'Oh, thank you! said Masha, 'thank you, thank you! Nenila Makarievna got as far as the door and suddenly turned back again. 'Do you remember your promise, Masha? 'What promise? 'You were going to tell me when you fall in love. 'I remember. Masha looked brightly and boldly at her mother. 'It can't be! thought Nenila Makarievna, and she felt reassured.
"Then you think I tell a lie?" And she laughed a mirthless laugh. "Oh, no, Masha, Konstantin Dmitrievitch said he could not believe in it," said Kitty, blushing for Levin, and Levin saw this, and, still more exasperated, would have answered, but Vronsky with his bright frank smile rushed to the support of the conversation, which was threatening to become disagreeable.
She bent down, picked up the flower, and gazed with tender, delighted amazement at Avdey. 'Bravo! cried Kister. 'And I can't swim... Lutchkov observed abruptly. Masha did not like that remark. 'What made him say that? she wondered. Lutchkov and Kister remained at Mr. Perekatov's till the evening.
As for Basil's drunken face and horrid figure in the scanty coat with the red shirt showing beneath it, well, in his every gesture, in his every movement of his back, I seemed always to see signs of the humiliating chastisements which he had undergone. "Ah, Basil! AGAIN?" cried Masha on one occasion as she stuck her needle into the pincushion, but without looking up at the person who was entering.
"Yes, but what is a girl to do who has no family?" put in Stepan Arkadyevitch, thinking of Masha Tchibisova, whom he had had in his mind all along, in sympathizing with Pestsov and supporting him.
GORDÉY KÁRPYCH, KÓRSHUNOV, LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA, ANNA IVÁNOVNA, MÁSHA, LÍZA, girls, MÍTYA, GÚSLIN, and RAZLYULYÁYEV. KÓRSHUNOV. Let's join the young ladies. LYUBÓV GORDÉYEVNA. We don't drive any one away. ANNA IVÁNOVNA. Be seated; you'll be our guest. KÓRSHUNOV. You're pretty chilly to the old man! It's Christmas time now, and I suppose we may exchange kisses. ANNA IVÁNOVNA. Why be so affectionate?
'Mind you don't go and fall in love with him, remarked Sergei Sergeitch. 'I know you girls are all like that nowadays so what shall I say? romantic... 'No, Masha responded simply. Nenila Makarievna looked coldly at her husband.
Masha wanted everything to be simple; by her wish our bridesmen were peasant boys, only one deacon sang, and we returned from the church in a little, shaky cart which she drove herself. My sister was the only guest from the town. Masha had sent her a note a couple of days before the wedding.
Can something unexpected have happened to you in Petersburg?" "I found in Petersburg exactly what I expected," answered Tyeglev, without moving from the spot. "That is ... you mean to say ... your friend ... this Masha...." "She has taken her life," Tyeglev answered hurriedly and as it were angrily. "She was buried the day before yesterday. She did not even leave a note for me.
