They were on their way home from the Governor's, when suddenly a short man, in a Slavophil national dress, leaped out of a trap that was passing them, and crying, 'Yevgeny Vassilyitch! dashed up to Bazarov. 'Ah! it's you, Herr Sitnikov, observed Bazarov, still stepping along on the pavement; 'by what chance did you come here?
If Alexis Vassilyitch expressed dissatisfaction with a toilet of mine, I should not speak to him for a week. No! I should get him into such difficulties with the ministry that he would come to me on his knees in three days! I tell you again, Sophie, that you must assert yourself! Tell me " "Stop, Kasha, stop! I am too tired for all this just now. Say what you will to-morrow.
'I am greatly flattered, began Sitnikov, walking sidewise, smirking, and hurriedly pulling off his really over-elegant gloves. 'I have heard so much.... I am an old acquaintance of Yevgeny Vassilyitch, and, I may say his disciple. I am indebted to him for my regeneration.... Arkady looked at Bazarov's disciple.
'As well as could be, said the old man, and was grinning again, but he quickly knitted his bushy brows. 'You wish supper to be served? he said impressively. 'Yes, yes, please. But won't you like to go to your room first, Yevgeny Vassilyitch? 'No, thanks; I don't care about it. Only give orders for my little box to be taken there, and this garment, too, he added, taking off his frieze overcoat.
Bazarov turned round and saw the pale face of Nikolai Petrovitch, who was sitting in the droshky. He jumped out of it before it had stopped, and rushed up to his brother.

It can't! We'll be degraded for good.
'How do you do, Yevgeny Vassilyitch? began the little old man, and he smiled with delight, so that his whole face was all at once covered with wrinkles. 'What have you come for? They sent for me, eh? 'Upon my word, sir, how could we? mumbled Timofeitch. 'Come, don't tell lies! Bazarov cut him short.
But, however, it was to be, we had no need of one another, that's the chief point; there was too much ... what shall I say? ... that was alike in us. We did not realise it all at once. Now, Arkady ... 'So you need him? queried Bazarov. 'Hush, Yevgeny Vassilyitch. You tell me he is not indifferent to me, and it always seemed to me he liked me.
'And do you consider I am so unimpeachable ... that's to say, that I have ordered my life with such regularity? 'I should think so. Here's an example; in a few minutes it will strike ten, and I know beforehand that you will drive me away. 'No; I'm not going to drive you away, Yevgeny Vassilyitch. You may stay.

De Windt had certainly not foreseen the effect of his involuntary act. At the gesture, Ivan started, as if he had been shot. Then he drew himself away, violently, and sprang to his feet, turning on his friend: "Don't! My God! Are you going to show me your pity? Me? A Gregoriev? Humph!" He broke into an abominable little laugh. "They didn't give me much, Vladimir Vassilyitch!
