What is the use of reproaching her? She is ridiculous, and no one cares what she says. But the old chatterbox Tychkov has established that on Marfinka's birthday, Vera and Tushin had a long conversation in the avenue, that the day before she stayed out far into the night, and was subsequently ill, and he has put his own construction on Paulina Karpovna's tale.

They say you did wonders last night." "I got home very tired," said Pontius, "but as you so pressingly desired to speak to me, I shortened my hours of rest." "How sorry I am!" exclaimed the widow. The bishop perceived that the brother and sister had business to discuss together, and asked whether he were not interrupting it. "On the contrary," cried Paulina.
