'Monsieur Dimitri, Emil interrupted in a plaintive voice, 'why do you address me so formally? Sanin laughed. 'Oh, very well. 'I? what am I doing? What would you like me to do? 'If you can, come to me early in the morning and we will walk about the country round Frankfort till evening.... Would you like to? Emil gave another little skip. 'I say, what in the world could be jollier?
Stammering and hesitating, he announced to Sanin in bad French that he had come with a message from his friend, Baron von Doenhof; that this message was to demand from Herr von Sanin an apology for the insulting expressions used by him on the previous day; and in case of refusal on the part of Herr von Sanin, Baron von Doenhof would ask for satisfaction.
'And he was his second! Pantaleone gave her a glance from under his brows. Gemma was silent almost all the time, but her face had never been lovelier or brighter.

He used, she turned to Sanin, 'to fill all my rooms with camellias every February on my birthday, But it wasn't worth spending the winter in Petersburg for that.

He thanked Sanin bashfully, but devoted himself chiefly to the biscuits and sweetmeats. Sanin was compelled to drink two large cups of excellent chocolate, and to eat a considerable number of biscuits; no sooner had he swallowed one than Gemma offered him another and to refuse was impossible! He soon felt at home: the time flew by with incredible swiftness.
The horses reached the forest's edge and pushed on into the forest. The broad soft shade of the forest wrapt them round on all sides. 'Oh, but this is paradise! cried Maria Nikolaevna.
