Very pleasantly did that summer afternoon pass away. Emma, after she had rested awhile, thought of going home; but Fanny entreated her to stay. She wanted to show her the bee-house, her grandfather's new beehive, the flower-garden, and many other things.
Then he took them out to see his bees. He showed them his ingenious hives and a bee-house which he had built to keep out the moths by drawing chalk-lines about it, for over these lines the wingless grub of the moth could not crawl. Then he showed them a glass hive, in which all the processes of the bees' housekeeping could be observed.
"Yes, and most deliberately." "Very good, I only asked the question out of curiosity. You shall have the choice of your resting place, where would you like to sleep?" "I choose the bee-house." "Good. It is true that the night air is not very good for me. I will sleep then in my usual resting place." "And I will sleep among the bees.
Gerzson wrapped his bunda round his shoulders and went towards the bee-house, but the priest returned to his chamber, blew out the light, lay down fully dressed on his bed, took up his rosary and fell a-praying like one who does not expect to see the dawn of another day. He knew his man; he knew what was coming.
Arriving for dinner at the village, and leaving his horse at the cottage of an old friend of his, the husband of his brother's wet-nurse, Levin went to see the old man in his bee-house, wanting to find out from him the truth about the hay.
"If you have a load on your heart, why do you hide it from me? And why do you find it more suitable to open your heart to women who are nothing to you, instead of to your wife? I overheard your outpourings to Lubotchka by the bee-house to-day." "Well, I congratulate you. I am glad you did overhear it." This meant "Leave me alone and let me think." Olga Mihalovna was indignant.
Thus the owners float them gently down the stream, while they gather the honey from the flowers along its banks, and a little bee-house yields the proprietors a considerable income. At other times they convey bees by land, to places where honey and wax may be collected.
My humble dwelling is not very luxurious, but let your honour imagine that it is a hunting hut in the forest." "But where then will your reverence sleep?" "I'll go out to the bee-house. I can sleep there excellently well, I have a couch of linden leaves." "Nay, but I also love to sleep on linden leaves, covered with my bunda. I'll lie there to-night.
Gerzson felt that if he looked much longer, he would become moonstruck himself. Slowly divesting himself of his bunda, and after knocking the burning ashes out of his pipe, he noiselessly quitted the bee-house, traversed the garden and sprang over the fence at a single bound.
For one, I wish it were otherwise; I wish with all my heart that I could identify the old, pitying, feathered mourners in the British wood with the joyous, rollicking singer who perches every sunrise, through all the spring, upon the thatch of the bee-house, within stone's-throw of my window, and stirs the dewy air with his loud bravura.
