I will not say that she must come surely in this case. But if she is to come, half your fortune that is, golden mountains yes, golden mountains will be no hindrance to her. She will spring over them and come." After the doctor had gone, Darvid remained alone for a while, and, with his eyes fixed on the floor, he thought: "A giantess! Golden mountains will not stop her!
Only then did Maryan laugh unaffectedly, almost loudly. "What a question, my father; love is a sanctuary, built on a poppy-seed; love then is sacred; while my fancy for that beautiful Bianca " "Is a poppy-seed which you are transporting through the world on special trains," finished Darvid. "Have you heard of that, father?" "I have seen it." "Ah, you were at the station!
"I cannot tell the exact figure, but approximately they are " He mentioned figures. Darvid repeated them indifferently. "About a quarter of a million. Very good. I shall be far from ruin this time, but in future I make no reproaches; for to do so would be to lose time. What has dropped into the past is lost. But the future must be different." On the word must he laid emphasis again.
"Sapristi!" imprecated Maryan, and immediately he laughed again. "And why? for what reason? Did he also believe in painted pots? I thought him modern." "Alas!" sighed Kranitski. They advanced in silence, passed the first story of the house. Maryan's bachelor chambers were on the second story. "My dear old man, I am sorry for you, enormously sorry," began young Darvid again.
Again a shiver ran along the skin of his shoulders, which quivered and bent somewhat. He went to the desk, from which he took another letter, thrown down a moment before, and unread yet. Something in the room was moving; certain little steps ran along the carpet quietly. Puffie had woke; had run to the man, and begun to squirm at his feet. "Puffie!" said Darvid, and he began to read the letter.
At his feet, on the rug, like a tiny statue, sat the motionless Puffie; with upraised head, and through silken hair, the dog looked into the face of the man. But Darvid did not see the little animal, and did not read the flattering phrases on the paper; he only repeated the words which, on a time, he had heard from his daughter: "What do you want of so many people, father? Do you love them?
"I? I do not go into society yet, and so far the doctor forbids me to go to the theatre. I will read or talk with Miss Mary, and amuse myself with Puff." She stroked with her palm the silky head of the little dog. Darvid halted at the door of the third chamber, and gave Cara the light, from the weight of which her slight arm bent somewhat. "Go on alone; I must hurry to the prince."
She put her hands together as in prayer. "Let me stay as I am, father, at your knee. I imagined that on your return I should be able to talk often and long with you; to ask about everything, learn everything from you." She coughed. Darvid took her in his arms, and, without raising her from her knees, he drew her to his breast. "See! your cough lasts! Do you cough much?
The sculptor bowed, unwilling, or unable to conceal his delight and astonishment. Darvid touched him lightly on the arm, and conducted him to a great desk, one drawer of which he opened. The jurist and the architect at the round table exchanged glances. "A protege of the prince!" whispered one. "Cleverness! advertising!" whispered the other.
By neglect of duty Darvid is brought to madness; by neglect of money Kranitski is brought to be a parasite, and when he loses even that position he is supported by a servant. The right use of wealth, the proper direction of labor, these are supreme questions in our time, and beyond all in America.
