Permit me, as a father, to ask without reserve, What is your opinion of my Yevgeny? 'Your son is one of the most remarkable men I have ever met, Arkady answered emphatically. Vassily Ivanovitch's eyes suddenly grew round, and his cheeks were suffused with a faint flush. The spade fell out of his hand. 'And so you expect, he began ...

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?

The shoemaker's needed, the tailor's needed, the butcher ... gives us meat ... the butcher ... wait a little, I'm getting mixed.... There's a forest here ... Bazarov put his hand to his brow. Anna Sergyevna bent down to him. 'Yevgeny Vassilyitch, I am here ... He at once took his hand away, and raised himself. 'Good-bye, he said with sudden force, and his eyes gleamed with their last light.

By the way, Yevgeny Vassilyitch, you positively must come to know a lady here, who is really capable of understanding you, and for whom your visit would be a real festival; you have heard of her, I suppose? 'Who is it? Bazarov brought out unwillingly. 'Kukshina, Eudoxie, Evdoksya Kukshin. She's a remarkable nature, émancipée in the true sense of the word, an advanced woman. Do you know what?

'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.

Vassily Ivanovitch was dumbfounded when he broke the news to him. "Very good..." he faltered, "very good.... I had thought you were to be with us... a little longer. Three days.... After three years, it's rather little; rather little, Yevgeny!" "But I tell you I'm coming back directly. It's necessary for me to go." "Necessary.... Very good. Arina and I, of course, did not anticipate this.

He was carefully dressed, his blue coat buttoned tightly below a well-laundered shirt, a crush hat held in his hand, one lock of jet-black hair fallen over a forehead no more bloodless than his lips, while out of his ghastly face gleamed a pair of gray-green eyes that shone with a fixed brilliancy. One look at him, and Ivan was exclaiming, anxiously: "Yevgeny Alexandrovitch, you're ill!

By the way, Yevgeny Petrovitch, I should like to ask you to speak to Seryozha. To-day, and the day before yesterday, I have noticed that he is smoking. When I began to expostulate with him, he put his fingers in his ears as usual, and sang loudly to drown my voice."

It struck ten. "Come, boy, it's bedtime," said the prosecutor. "Say good-night and go." "No, papa," said Seryozha, "I will stay a little longer. Tell me something! Tell me a story. . . ." "Very well, only after the story you must go to bed at once." Yevgeny Petrovitch on his free evenings was in the habit of telling Seryozha stories.

"Votre père vous appelle, allez vite!" cried the governess, shrill as a frightened bird. "I am speaking to you!" "What am I to say to him, though?" Yevgeny Petrovitch wondered. But before he had time to think of anything whatever his son Seryozha, a boy of seven, walked into the study. He was a child whose sex could only have been guessed from his dress: weakly, white-faced, and fragile.
