With Sitnikov's appearance everything became somehow duller and simpler; they all even ate a more solid supper, and retired to bed half-an-hour earlier than usual. 'I might now repeat to you, said Arkady, as he lay down in bed, to Bazarov, who was also undressing, what you once said to me, 'Why are you so melancholy?
'Arkady, how do you take your tea, with cream, or with lemon? 'With cream, answered Arkady; and after a brief silence, he uttered interrogatively, 'Daddy? Nikolai Petrovitch in confusion looked at his son. 'Well? he said. Arkady dropped his eyes.
'To Arkady Nikolaitch? put in the old man. 'Who's Arkady Nikolaitch? said Bazarov, as though in doubt.... 'Oh, yes! that chicken! No, let him alone; he's turned jackdaw now. Don't be surprised; that's not delirium yet. Will you do that? 'Yes, I will do it.... But is it a possible thing for you to die, Yevgeny?... Think only! Where would divine justice be after that?
A little page in livery drew back, with a scraping sound, from the table, an arm-chair covered with cushions, devoted to the princess's use; she sank into it; Katya in pouring out the tea handed her first a cup emblazoned with a heraldic crest. No one made her any reply. Bazarov and Arkady soon guessed that they paid no attention to her though they treated her respectfully.
The bailiff first jumped nimbly off his horse, bowed to his master till he was bent double, and said: 'Good health to you, Arkady Pavlitch, sir! then raised his head, shook himself, and announced that Sofron had gone to Perov, but they had sent after him. 'Well, come along after us, said Arkady Pavlitch.
Time, it is well known, sometimes flies like a bird, sometimes crawls like a worm; but man is wont to be particularly happy when he does not even notice whether it passes quickly or slowly. It was in that way Arkady and Bazarov spent a fortnight at Madame Odintsov's. The good order she had established in her house and in her life partly contributed to this result.
'I don't understand you. 'Really? Well, now I see; I certainly took you to be more observant than you are. 'How? Arkady made no answer, and turned away, while Katya looked for a few more crumbs in the basket, and began throwing them to the sparrows; but she moved her arm too vigorously, and they flew away, without stopping to pick them up.
She began to seem absorbed in thought, answered abstractedly, and suggested at last that they should go into the hall, where they found the princess and Katya. 'But where is Arkady Nikolaitch? inquired the lady of the house; and on hearing that he had not shown himself for more than an hour, she sent for him.
'And the flies in those dear little houses.... Faugh! 'Tell me, began Arkady, after a brief pause, 'were they strict with you when you were a child? 'You can see what my parents are like. They're not a severe sort. 'Are you fond of them, Yevgeny? 'I am, Arkady. 'How fond they are of you! Bazarov was silent for a little.
'Don't be a chatterbox, but send for some kvass for me, sit down, and listen while I tell you all about it in a few, but, I hope, pretty vigorous sentences. Arkady was quiet while Bazarov described his duel with Pavel Petrovitch.
