Colia told me the prince called you a child very well but let me see, I had something else to say..." He covered his face with his hands and tried to collect his thoughts. "Ah, yes you were going away just now, and I thought to myself: 'I shall never see these people again-never again! This is the last time I shall see the trees, too.
One might hunt in vain for his equal, even with the lantern of Diogenes; his like is not to be had even by getting it made to order!" "Oh, I don't know what this means" cried Ivan Fedorovitch, transported with indignation. "Leave off, Colia," begged the prince. Exclamations arose on all sides.
'I'll never forget you, he cried, and expired. I served my country well and honestly, Colia, but shame, shame has pursued me! You and Nina will come to my grave, Colia; poor Nina, I always used to call her Nina in the old days, and how she loved.... Nina, Nina, oh, Nina. What have I ever done to deserve your forgiveness and long-suffering?
"I don't think you need break your heart over Gania," said the prince; "for if what you say is true, he must be considered dangerous in the Epanchin household, and if so, certain hopes of his must have been encouraged." "What? What hopes?" cried Colia; "you surely don't mean Aglaya? oh, no! "You're a dreadful sceptic, prince," he continued, after a moment's silence.
"That'll do, Gania!" cried Varia and Ptitsin. "Shut up, Gania!" said Colia. But this intercession seemed to rekindle the general. "What did you mean, sir, that he didn't exist? Explain yourself," he repeated, angrily. "Because he DIDN'T exist never could and never did there! You'd better drop the subject, I warn you!" "And this is my son my own son whom I oh, gracious Heaven!
"On the contrary, Hippolyte kissed his hand twice and thanked him; and all the prince said was that he thought Hippolyte might feel better here in the country!" "Don't, Colia, what is the use of saying all that?" cried the prince, rising and taking his hat. "Where are you going to now?" cried Mrs. Epanchin. "Never mind about him now, prince," said Colia.
Have you a portmanteau?" "No; a bundle your brother has just gone to the hall for it." "There's nothing there except this," said Colia, returning at this moment. "Where did you put it?" "Oh! but that's all I have," said the prince, taking it. "Ah! I thought perhaps Ferdishenko had taken it." "Don't talk nonsense," said Varia, severely. She seemed put out, and was only just polite with the prince.
Adelaida mentioned a watercolour that she would much like to show him, and explained that she would either send it by Colia, or bring it herself the next day which to the prince seemed very suggestive. At length, however, just as the visitors were on the point of departing, Prince S. seemed suddenly to recollect himself.
It seemed clear to the prince that Aglaya forgave him, and that he might go there again this very evening; and in his eyes that was not only the main thing, but everything in the world. "What children we are still, Colia!" he cried at last, enthusiastically, "and how delightful it is that we can be children still!"
Colia promptly banged the door in their faces and locked it. "Hallo, Gania, you blackguard! You didn't expect Rogojin, eh?" said the latter, entering the drawing-room, and stopping before Gania. But at this moment he saw, seated before him, Nastasia Philipovna. He had not dreamed of meeting her here, evidently, for her appearance produced a marvellous effect upon him.
