"Well, I'll change it, right or wrong; I'll say that you are not sceptical, but JEALOUS. There! you are deadly jealous of Gania, over a certain proud damsel! Come!" Colia jumped up, with these words, and burst out laughing. He laughed as he had perhaps never laughed before, and still more when he saw the prince flushing up to his temples.
In the evening, however, Colia came with the story of the prince's adventures, so far as he knew them. Mrs. Epanchin was triumphant; although Colia had to listen to a long lecture. "He idles about here the whole day long, one can't get rid of him; and then when he is wanted he does not come. He might have sent a line if he did not wish to inconvenience himself."
"And Hippolyte has come down here to stay," said Colia, suddenly. "What! has he arrived?" said the prince, starting up. "Yes, I brought him down from town just after you had left the house." "There now! It's just like him," cried Lizabetha Prokofievna, boiling over once more, and entirely oblivious of the fact that she had just taken the prince's part.
"Those are the two hundred and fifty roubles you dared to send him as a charity, by the hands of Tchebaroff," explained Doktorenko. "The article in the newspaper put it at fifty!" cried Colia. "I beg your pardon," said the prince, going up to Burdovsky. "I have done you a great wrong, but I did not send you that money as a charity, believe me. And now I am again to blame. I offended you just now."
Oh, Colia, your mother has an angelic spirit, an angelic spirit, Colia!" "I know that, father. Look here, dear old father, come back home! Let's go back to mother. Look, she ran after us when we came out. What have you stopped her for, just as though you didn't take in what I said? Why are you crying, father?" Poor Colia cried himself, and kissed the old man's hands "You kiss my hands, MINE?"
"Simply my dear prince, simply she is in love with you, that's the whole of the secret!" replied Colia, with authority. The prince blushed, but this time he said nothing. Colia burst out laughing and clapped his hands. A minute later the prince laughed too, and from this moment until the evening he looked at his watch every other minute to see how much time he had to wait before evening came.
"Would it not be better to peruse it alone..." later asked the prince, nervously. "No, no, read it read it at once directly, and aloud, aloud!" cried she, calling Colia to her and giving him the journal. "Read it aloud, so that everyone may hear it!"
However, he there luckily met Colia, and commissioned him to deliver the letter to his brother as if direct from Aglaya. Colia asked no questions but simply delivered it, and Gania consequently had no suspicion that it had passed through so many hands.
Colia had free access to the prince, at which Lebedeff was quite disgusted and indignant. He would listen at the door for half an hour at a time while the two were talking. Colia found this out, and naturally told the prince of his discovery. "Do you think yourself my master, that you try to keep me under lock and key like this?" said the prince to Lebedeff.
"I don't know, I don't know who said it. Come home at once; come on! I'll punch Gania's head myself, if you like only come. Oh, where are you off to again?" The general was dragging him away towards the door a house near. He sat down on the step, still holding Colia by the hand. "Bend down bend down your ear. I'll tell you all disgrace bend down, I'll tell you in your ear."
