But how could I return to Russia; What have I to do in Russia? 'Accept my last kisses and blessings, and do not condemn me. Nearly five years have passed since then, and no further news of Elena has come. All letters and inquiries were fruitless; in vain did Nikolai Artemyevitch himself make a journey to Venice and to Zara after peace was concluded.
Nikolai Artemyevitch insisted on her not admitting her daughter to her presence; he seemed to be enjoying the opportunity of showing himself in the fullest sense the master of the house, with all the authority of the head of the family; he made an incessant uproar in the household, storming at the servants, and constantly saying: 'I will show you who I am, I will let you know you wait a little! While he was in the house, Anna Vassilyevna did not see Elena, and had to be content with Zoya, who waited on her very devotedly, but kept thinking to herself: 'Diesen Insarof vorziehen und wem? But directly Nikolai Artemyevitch went out and that happened pretty often, Augustina Christianovna had come back in sober earnest Elena went to her mother, and a long time her mother gazed at her in silence and in tears.
Nikolai Artemyevitch had consented 'not to make a scandal, but Anna Vassilyevna did not tell her daughter what a price he had put on his consent. She did not tell her that she had promised to pay all his debts, and had given him a thousand roubles down on the spot.
I don't expect that at all, I don't wish it even! 'What's the object, Nikolai Artemyevitch? He has disturbed you; very likely he has checked the progress of your cure. I want to have an explanation with him. I want to know how he has dared to annoy you. 'I tell you again, that I do not ask that. And what can induce you ... devant les domestiques! Anna Vassilyevna flushed a little.
I have a little thing, a dressing-case, I bought it the other day at Rosenstrauch's; but I don't know really if it will do. 'I suppose you bought it for her, the lady at Revel? 'Why, certainly. I had some idea. 'Well, in that case, it will be sure to do. Shubin got up from his seat. 'Are we going out this evening, Pavel Yakovlitch, eh? Nikolai Artemyevitch asked with an amicable leer.
She begged her daughter to come to Moscow if only for a month, complained of her loneliness, and of Nikolai Artemyevitch, sent greetings to Insarov, inquired after his health, and begged him to spare his wife. Renditch was a Dalmatian, a sailor, with whom Insarov had become acquainted during his wanderings in his own country, and whom he had sought out in Venice.
'You need not say that, Nikolai Artemyevitch. I never... devant les domestiques... Fedushka, go and see you bring Pavel Yakovlitch here at once. The little page went off. 'And that's absolutely unnecessary, muttered Nikolai Artemyevitch between his teeth, and he began again pacing up and down the room. 'I did not bring up the subject with that object.
'Come! said Nikolai Artemyevitch and his own tears were trickling on to the beaver collar of his cloak 'we must drink to good journey good wishes He began pouring out the champagne: his hands were shaking, the foam rose over the edge and fell on to the snow.
Only from time to time a faint sob was to be heard, and then those, too, were still. There was the jingling of keys, the creak of a bureau being unfastened.... The door was opened, and Nikolai Artemyevitch appeared.
Such honesty; such disinterestedness. 'Has she cashed that bill yet? inquired Shubin. 'Such disinterestedness, repeated Nikolai Artemyevitch; 'it's astonishing. They tell me there are a million other women in the world, but I say, show me the million; show me the million, I say; ces femmes, qu'on me les montre! And she doesn't write that's what's killing me!
