Sipiagin, on the contrary, expressed the most liberal views, refuted Kollomietzev's arguments politely, though with a certain amount of disdain, and even chaffed him a little. "Your terror of emancipation, my dear Simion Petrovitch," he said, "puts me in mind of our much respected friend, Alexai Ivanovitch Tveritinov, and the petition he sent in, in the year 1860.
I don't think Alexai is coming... I'll give you the letter. It's no use waiting any longer. "I will give it him, you may be sure." Mashurina rested her cheek in her hand and for a long, long time did not speak. "Tell me," she began, "forgive me for asking... do you love him?" "Yes." Mashurina shook her heavy head. "There is no need to ask if he loves you.
"My dear Alexai Dmitritch," Paklin began, "you are upset, and for a very good reason. But have you forgotten in what times and in what country we are living? Amongst us a drowning man must himself create the straw to clutch at. Why be sentimental over it? One must look the devil straight in the face and not get excited like children " "Oh, don't, please!"
Nejdanov stood on one side to allow them room to pass out, but there was the same vacant expression in his eyes. After they had gone he took a step or two forward and sat down on a chair facing Mariana. "Alexai," she began, "everything has been found out.
She came up to Nejdanov, breathless. "Alexai Dmitritch! What is the matter with you?" But a darkness had already descended upon him. Tatiana bent over and noticed blood... "Pavel!" she shouted at the top of her voice, "Pavel!" A minute or two later, Mariana, Solomin, Pavel, and two workmen were in the garden.
The stupor had left him instantly. "To try and find out if he would be willing to intercede." Nejdanov sat up straight. "For us? "No, for Markelov. He wanted to ask him to intercede for us too... but I wouldn't let him. Have I done well, Alexai?" "Have you done well?" Nejdanov asked and without rising from his chair, stretched out his arms to her.
But there is no love between us." "Stop, Alexai! what are you saying? The police may come for us today... we must go away together and not part " "And get Father Zosim to marry us at Solomin's suggestion.
"Some fellow called Silin sought me out; Nejdanov, it seems, had left a letter for him too. Well, he wanted to know if Alexai had left any papers, but we hunted through all his things and found nothing. He must have burned everything, even his poems. Did you know that he wrote verses? I'm sorry they were destroyed; there must have been some good things among them.
"Mariana, there are two men in me and one doesn't let the other live. So I thought it might be better if both ceased to live." "Please don't, Alexai. Why do you want to torment yourself and me? We ought to be considering ways and means of getting away. They won't leave us in peace you know." Nejdanov took her hand caressingly.
Then we may see each other again perhaps. They might send us there!" Mashurina sighed. "Oh, Alexai Dmitritch " "What is it?" Nejdanov asked. Mashurina looked intense. "Oh, nothing. Goodbye. It's nothing." She squeezed Nejdanov's hand a second time and went out. "There is not a soul in St. Petersburg who is so attached to me as this eccentric person," he thought.
