Later on, when Alexei Mikhailovitch, the father of Peter the Great, established a new code, grading punishments and fines by classes, the highest money tax assessed for insult and injury was fifty rubles; but the Stroganoffs were empowered to exact one hundred rubles.
The facts are true, the inferences absolutely my own, so that you may reject them at any moment and substitute others. It is true that I have known Vera Michailovna, Nina, Alexei Petrovitch, Henry, Jerry, and the rest some of them intimately and many of the conversations here recorded I have myself heard.
Within this structure were two apartments, formed likewise of wooden spars, so as to resemble cages: one was appropriated to the officers, the other to the sailors and Alexei. The building was surrounded by a high wall or paling, outside of which were the kitchen, guard-house, &c., enclosed by another paling.
"No no harm perhaps but still you tease me.... I'm a fool to mind.... But then I am a fool every one knows it." All the time he was looking with his pathetic eyes and his pale face at Vera. Vera said again, very low, almost in a whisper: "Uncle Alexei... please." "But really, Nicholas," Semyonov went on, "you under-rate yourself. You do indeed. Nobody thinks you a fool.
She spoke very low, and her eyes did not look at me, but beyond us all out to the door. "Certainly," I said. "Will you keep Alexei Petrovitch here? Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Bohun can see us home. I don't want him to come with us. Will you ask him to wait and speak to you?" I went up to him. "Semyonov," I said, "I want a word with you, if I may "
He lived, he told me, with his wife in a flat in the Anglisky Prospect; his sister-in-law and another of his wife's uncles, a brother of Alexei Petrovitch, also lived with them. I said that I would be very glad to come. It is impossible to describe how deeply, in the days that followed, I struggled against the attraction that this invitation presented to me.
It is probable that there were a thousand foreigners who knew his name, to one who had heard of Chekhov. Compared with Chekhov, he had more matter and less art. His true name, which comparatively few have ever heard, is Alexei Maximovich Peshkov. "This name," said M. de Vogue, "will remain forever buried in the parish register."
I haven't thought out yet what we must do. Perhaps you can help me. But I must tell you that I saw everything that happened here on that Thursday afternoon in the week of the Revolution " Vera made a little movement of distress "Yes, you didn't know but I was in my room where Alexei sleeps now, you know. I couldn't help seeing. I'm very sorry."
They used to say I was brave about the wounded, brave at S , brave at operations ... if they only knew! You only, Ivan Andreievitch, have seen me afraid, you only!..." She looked at me, her eyes searching my face: "Isn't it strange that you who do not love me know me, perhaps, better than John and yes, better than Alexei. That's why I tell you I can talk to you.
"Why, Uncle Alexei!" she cried, holding out her hand. "You're too late for the tree! Why didn't you tell us? Then you could have come to dinner... and now it is all over. Why didn't you tell us?" He took her hand, and, very solemnly, bent down and kissed it. "I didn't know myself, dear Vera Michailovna.
