Groholsky's hair went grey, but he did not die: he is alive to this day. . . . He came back from abroad to have "just a peep" at Liza . . . . Bugrov met him with open arms, and made him stay for an indefinite period. He is staying with Bugrov to this day. This year I happened to be passing through Groholyovka, Bugrov's estate.
How happy those who can take off their heavy uniforms, get into a carriage and fly off to the country where the quails are calling and there is the scent of fresh hay. Bugrov's heart ached with a sweet thrill that made him shiver. A hundred thousand! "Ivan Petrovitch, do not torture me! Will you take a hundred thousand?"
"Accept this sacrifice from me," Groholsky went on, "I entreat you! You will take a load off my conscience. . . . I implore you!" My God! A smart carriage rolled along the road wet from a May shower, passed the window through which Bugrov's wet eyes were looking. The horses were fine, spirited, well-trained beasts.
Groholsky turned the guitar, touched the strings, and began singing: "Yesterday I waited for my dear one. . . ." I listened to the singing, looked at Bugrov's well-fed countenance, and thought: "Nasty brute!" I felt like crying. . . . When he had finished singing, Groholsky bowed to us, and went out. "And what am I to do with him?" Bugrov said when he had gone away. "I do have trouble with him!
What would you like? I have money, my father is an influential man. . . . Will you? Come, how much do you want?" Bugrov's heart suddenly began throbbing. . . . He clutched at the window curtains with both hands. . . . "Will you have fifty thousand?
"Yes. . . . It was slow. I saw you too. . ." Groholsky accidentally glanced at Bugrov. . . . He caught the shifting eyes of the deceived husband and could not bear it. He got up quickly, quickly seized Bugrov's hand, shook it, picked up his hat, and walked towards the door, conscious of his own back. He felt as though thousands of eyes were looking at his back.
