These conversations always touched the family sores before long. "I have said already that the moment she comes in I go out, and I shall keep my word," remarked Varia. "Out of obstinacy" shouted Gania. "You haven't married, either, thanks to your obstinacy. Oh, you needn't frown at me, Varvara! You can go at once for all I care; I am sick enough of your company.
"It's a good thing that you take it philosophically, at all events," said Varia. "I'm really very glad of it." "Yes, it's off our hands off YOURS, I should say." "I think I have served you faithfully. I never even asked you what happiness you expected to find with Aglaya." "Did I ever expect to find happiness with Aglaya?" "Come, come, don't overdo your philosophy. Of course you did.
Well, you are you really are oh dear me! Eloquence, eloquence! Good-bye!" As to the evening party at the Epanchins' at which Princess Bielokonski was to be present, Varia had reported with accuracy; though she had perhaps expressed herself too strongly.
If you HAVE a hope left, it is that your suffering air may soften her heart towards you." "Oh, she would funk a scandal like anyone else. You are all tarred with one brush!" "What! AGLAYA would have funked? You are a chicken-hearted fellow, Gania!" said Varia, looking at her brother with contempt. "Not one of us is worth much.
There are spots of darkness on your horizon, though they will disappear when you become completely stupid. But a long and chequered path lies before you, and of this I am glad. In the first place you will never gain a certain person." "Come, come! This is intolerable! You had better stop, you little mischief-making wretch!" cried Varia. Gania had grown very pale; he trembled, but said nothing.
Kolosov at last got sick of my reproaches.... He got up and put on his cap. 'Where are you going? 'For a walk; you and Puzyritsin have given me a headache between you. 'You are angry with me? 'No, he answered, smiling his sweet smile, and holding out his hand to me. 'Well, anyway, what do you wish me to tell Varia? 'Eh? ... He thought a little.
"What do you say, sir?" growled the general, taking a step towards him. "I say that I have but to open my mouth, and you " Gania began, but did not finish. The two father and son stood before one another, both unspeakably agitated, especially Gania. "Gania, Gania, reflect!" cried his mother, hurriedly. "It's all nonsense on both sides," snapped out Varia. "Let them alone, mother."
Lebedeff, Ptitsin, and General Ivolgin hastened to find chairs for the young ladies. Varia greeted them joyfully, and they exchanged confidences in ecstatic whispers. "I must admit, prince, I was a little put out to see you up and about like this I expected to find you in bed; but I give you my word, I was only annoyed for an instant, before I collected my thoughts properly.
They managed to put the wounded man to bed, and Varia stayed to nurse him. Vronsky's wound, though the heart was not touched, was so dangerous that for several days his life was in the balance. But gradually the crisis passed, and as he recovered he felt calmed with the conviction that he had now effected redemption from his faults.
"Enough enough!" said the latter, with insistence, but all of a tremble with excitement. "Are you going to cross my path for ever, damn you!" cried Gania; and, loosening his hold on Varia, he slapped the prince's face with all his force. Exclamations of horror arose on all sides.
