On seeing Nekhludoff the officer rose and gazed ironically and suspiciously, as it seemed, at the newcomer. "What is it you want?" he asked, and, not waiting for a reply, he shouted through the open door: "Bernoff, the somovar! What are you about?" "Coming at once."

She brought the Somovar, and with her cup of tea was going to relate one of her interminable stories, when a carriage with the imperial escutcheon stopped before the door.
"I'm coming," shouted the soldier, and brought in the somovar. Nekhludoff waited while the soldier placed the somovar on the table.

As he stood in the glare of the pine torch his appearance was remarkable.
When he had gone up the three steps of the porch he let Nekhludoff pass before him into the ante-room, in which a small lamp was burning, and which was filled with smoky fumes. "He has come, your honour." "Well, ask him in," came an angry voice. "Go in at the door," said the soldier, and went back to the somovar.
