After the whirl-wind of dances and choruses and all the splendor with which she had been accompanied the first time, Annouchka appeared as a poor Russian peasant in a scene representing the barren steppes, and very simply she sank to her knees and recited her evening prayers. Annouchka was singularly beautiful.
Your health, belle Annouchka." But the Bohemians swept some opening chords for their songs, and the singers took everybody's attention, everybody excepting Prince Galitch and Annouchka, who, half turned toward one another, exchanged some words on the edge of all this musical uproar.
"Look, Rouletabaille is asleep," remarked la belle Onoto. "Poor boy!" said Annouchka. And, turning toward Gounsovski: "Aren't you soon going to get him out of our way? I heard some of our brethren the other day speaking in a way that would cause pain to those who care about his health." "Oh, that," said Gounsovski, shaking his head, "is an affair I have nothing to do with. Apply to Koupriane.
His eyes burned somberly, in spite of the panic that deformed his features Rouletabille recognized one of the unintroduced friends whom Gounsovski had brought with him to the supper at Krestowsky. Evidently since then the always-threatening misfortune had fallen upon him. They were proceeding with his trial. The one who seemed to preside over these strange sessions pronounced a name: "Annouchka!"
"Annouchka had a brother, Vlassof, an engineer on the Kasan line, whom the Strike Committee had ordered to take out a train as the only means of escape for the leaders of the revolutionary troops when Trebassof's soldiers, aided by the Semenowsky regiment, had become masters of the city. The last resistance took place at the station. It was necessary to get started.
Thaddeus and Athanase exclaimed at the generosity of the prince, but Annouchka said: "The prince does as he should, for my friends can never sufficiently repay the hospitality that that little thing gave me in her dirty hut when I was in hiding, while your famous department was deciding what to do about me, my dear Gounsovski."
He sped not only with the firebox open but with the forced draught. It was a miracle that the engine was not smashed against the curve of the embankment. But they got past. Not a man was hurt. Only a woman was wounded. She got a ball in the chest." "There!" cried Annouchka.
But Annouchka replied in an icy tone: "I do not know her." "She is unlucky in having a father..." Prince Galitch commenced. "Prince, no politics, or let me take my leave," clucked Gounsovski. "Your health, dear Annouchka." "Your health, Gounsovski. But you have no worry about that." "Why?" demanded Thaddeus Tchitchnikoff in equivocal fashion.
Annouchka had gone to take her place with the others against the wall, in the shadows which more and more invaded the room, at this ending of a lugubrious day. Two windows reaching to the floor let a wan light creep with difficulty through their dirty panes, making a vague twilight in the room.
For having denounced to Koupriane the identity of the two "doctors" who had been assigned to kill General Trebassof. For having caused the arrest of Natacha Feodorovna. It was a list longer than was needed for his doom. Rouletabille kissed his ikons and handed them to Annouchka along with the letters.
