After supper Andrey Andreitch played the fiddle and Nina Ivanovna accompanied him on the piano. Ten years before he had taken his degree at the university in the Faculty of Arts, but had never held any post, had no definite work, and only from time to time took part in concerts for charitable objects; and in the town he was regarded as a musician.
"I come from the vicinity of Túla.... There is a village there called Známenskoe-Glúshkovo perhaps you deign to know it. I am the daughter of the sexton there. Mikhaíl Andréitch and I lived there.... He settled down with my father. We lived together a year in all." The young woman's lips twitched slightly, and she raised her hand to them.
Andrey Andreitch led Nadya about the rooms, all the while keeping his arm round her waist; and she felt weak and conscience-stricken. She hated all the rooms, the beds, the easy chairs; she was nauseated by the naked lady.
'Ugh! doesn't know; what next? I'm talking of Tatyana. Have some fear of God what do you want to revenge yourself for? You ought to be ashamed: a married man like you, with children as big as I am; it's a very different thing with me.... I mean marriage: I'm acting straight- forwardly. 'How am I to blame in that, Pavel Andreitch? The mistress won't permit you to marry; it's her seignorial will!
What a life, what a life mine's been come to think of it! In my young days, I was beaten by a German I was 'prentice to; in the prime of life beaten by my own countrymen, and last of all, in ripe years, see what I have been brought to. . ." "Ugh, you flabby soul!" said Gavrila Andreitch. "Why do you make so many words about it?" "Why, do you say, Gavrila Andreitch?
He's fixed himself much too cleverly!" "Wait a minute, I'll come directly," says the master, and he begins hurriedly undressing. "Four fools, and can't get an eel-pout!" When he is undressed, Andrey Andreitch gives himself time to cool and gets into the water. But even his interference leads to nothing. "We must chop the root off," Lubim decides at last. "Gerassim, go and get an axe!
'There's one difficulty ... you know the deaf man, Gerasim, he's courting you, you see. How did you come to bewitch such a bear? But you see, he'll kill you, very like, he's such a bear.... 'He'll kill me, Gavrila Andreitch, he'll kill me, and no mistake. 'Kill you.... Well, we shall see about that. What do you mean by saying he'll kill you? Has he any right to kill you? tell me yourself.
'Tell me what you want, Pavel Andreitch; you can tell me.... What is it you want? 'What do I want? Pavel flung himself into a chair. 'What are you saying, Pavel Andreitch! Calm yourself.... Aren't you ashamed? Don't forget whom you're talking about, Pavel Andreitch! lisped the cashier. 'Forget whom I'm talking about? What do I care for his being made head- clerk?
I grieved over dear, good Ivan Andreitch as though he were my son a young man in a strange place, inexperienced, weak, with no mother; and I was worried, dreadfully worried. . . . My husband was opposed to our making his acquaintance, but I talked him over . . . persuaded him. . . . We began receiving Ivan Andreitch, and with him, of course, you. If we had not, he would have been insulted.
"I don't know, Gavrila Andreitch, about his having any right or not." "What a woman! why, you've made him no promise, I suppose . . ." "What are you pleased to ask of me?" The steward was silent for a little, thinking, "You're a meek soul! Well, that's right," he said aloud; "we'll have another talk with you later, now you can go, Taniusha; I see you're not unruly, certainly."
