ARÍNA. Now you run along quickly and fetch the girls. PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA comes in. ARÍNA and PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Arinushka, did you send for the girls? ARÍNA. I did, my dear. PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. That's right. Let them have a song with our folks, and cheer up Lyubóv and the guests. This is the time for them to enjoy themselves while they're young.
The tea was poured out by a maiden lady of thirty, Arina Prohorovna's sister, a silent and malevolent creature, with flaxen hair and no eyebrows, who shared her sister's progressive ideas and was an object of terror to Virginsky himself in domestic life.
It's simply a further development of the organism, and there's nothing else in it, no mystery," said Arina Prohorovna with genuine and good-humoured laughter. "If you talk like that, every fly is a mystery. But I tell you what: superfluous people ought not to be born. We must first remould everything so that they won't be superfluous and then bring them into the world.
'I can tell you without feeling my pulse; I'm feverish. 'Has there been any shivering? 'Yes, there has been shivering too. I'll go and lie down, and you can send me some lime-flower tea. I must have caught cold. 'To be sure, I heard you coughing last night, observed Arina Vlasyevna. 'I've caught cold, repeated Bazarov, and he went away.
And now I hope, Arina Vlasyevna, that having satisfied your maternal heart, you will turn your thoughts to satisfying the appetites of our dear guests, because, as you're aware, even nightingales can't be fed on fairy tales. The old lady got up from her chair. 'This minute, Vassily Ivanovitch, the table shall be laid.
Enter PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA, and after her, ARÍNA and EGÓRUSHKA with wine and glasses. The same with PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA, ARÍNA, and EGÓRUSHKA GORDÉY KÁRPYCH. Come now and have a drink. KÓRSHUNOV. All right, Gordéy Kárpych, give me something to drink. And you girls, sing a song in my honor I love to have respect shown me. PELAGÉYA EGÓROVNA. Girls, sing a song for him. Make a bow, wife!
Vassily Ivanovitch walked up and down during the whole of dinner, and with a perfectly happy, positively beatific countenance, talked about the serious anxiety he felt at Napoleon's policy, and the intricacy of the Italian question. Arina Vlasyevna took no notice of Arkady.
Certainly send for them!” cried Mitya. “And you can get the girls together as you did then, Marya especially, Stepanida, too, and Arina. Two hundred roubles for a chorus!” “Oh, for a sum like that I can get all the village together, though by now they’re asleep. Are the peasants here worth such kindness, Dmitri Fyodorovitch, or the girls either?
Arina Vlasyevna did not go to bed either, and leaving the study door just open a very little, she kept coming up to it to listen 'how Enyusha was breathing, and to look at Vassily Ivanovitch. She could see nothing but his motionless bent back, but even that afforded her some faint consolation.
After five endless minutes, Arina Prohorovna made her appearance. "Has your wife come?" Shatov heard her voice at the window, and to his surprise it was not at all ill-tempered, only as usual peremptory, but Arina Prohorovna could not speak except in a peremptory tone. "Yes, my wife, and she is in labour." "Marya Ignatyevna?" "Yes, Marya Ignatyevna. Of course it's Marya Ignatyevna."
