I beg you, I beseech you don't come to see us, don't show yourself all day to-morrow. It's necessary, absolutely necessary for me, and then everything shall be settled. I know you will not say no, because ... Sanin read this note twice through. Oh, how touchingly sweet and beautiful her handwriting seemed to him!
'O Gemma! cried Sanin: 'I never dreamed that you would love me! 'I did not expect this myself, Gemma said softly. 'How could I ever have dreamed, Sanin went on, 'when I came to Frankfort, where I only expected to remain a few hours, that I should find here the happiness of all my life! 'All your life? Really? queried Gemma. 'All my life, for ever and ever! cried Sanin with fresh ardour.
A merry laugh rang out after him, and in the looking-glass which he was passing at that instant, the following scene was reflected: Maria Nikolaevna had pulled her husband's fez over his eyes, and he was helplessly struggling with both hands. Oh, what a deep sigh of delight Sanin heaved, when he found himself in his room!
'Sanin, Dmitri Pavlovitch known him from a boy, observed Polozov, as before not turning towards him and not getting up, but pointing at him with one finger. 'Yes.... I know.... You told me before. Very glad to make your acquaintance. But I wanted to ask you, Ippolit Sidorovitch.... My maid seems to have lost her senses to-day ... 'To do your hair up? 'Yes, yes, please.
'You are alive, you are not wounded! he kept repeating. 'Forgive me, I did not obey you, I did not go back to Frankfort ... I could not! I waited for you here ... Tell me how was it? You ... killed him? Sanin with some difficulty pacified Emil and made him sit down.
The girl flung herself on her knees by the sofa, and, clutching her head in both hands, fastened her eyes, not an eyelash quivering, on her brother. Sanin rubbed on, and kept stealing glances at her. Mercy! what a beautiful creature she was!
Gemma quickly dropped down on a bench beside her and did not stir again, only from time to time she put a finger of one hand to her lips with the other hand she was holding up a pillow behind her mother's head and said softly, 'sh-sh! with a sidelong look at Sanin, if he permitted himself the smallest movement.
'Come, look me in the face and tell me I was wrong! Sanin did not know what to do with his eyes. 'Well, if you like; it's the truth, if you absolutely insist upon it, he said at last. Maria Nikolaevna shook her head. 'Quite so, quite so.
At times Sanin felt positively irritated; he had never walked so long with Gemma, his darling Gemma ... but this lady had simply taken possession of him, and there was no escape! 'Aren't you tired? he said to her more than once. 'I never get tired, she answered. Now and then they met other people walking in the park; almost all of them bowed some respectfully, others even cringingly.
'What are you laughing at? the latter inquired, very carefully peeling his orange with his short white nails. 'What at? repeated Sanin. 'Why, at our journey together. 'What about it? Polozov inquired again, dropping into his mouth one of the longitudinal sections into which an orange parts. 'It's so very strange.
