Can't you see that Natacha's presence in the datcha had become quite too dangerous for that charming young girl after the poisoning of her father and step-mother failed and at the moment when her comrades were preparing to send General Trebassof a pleasant little gift of dynamite? She arranged to get away and yet to appear kidnapped. It is too simple." Rouletabille raised his head.
"Well?" questioned Rouletabille, recalling with some inquietude the sight of the whipping in the guards' chapel. Very dangerous. So when I learned that he took Matiew's place at the datcha des Iles, I thought there was sure to be some unfortunate happening. But it was no affair of mine, was it? Let him recall that. That ought to make him reflect. I am a brave man.
They smiled when we bought the house, for they held that in quite a short time it would be washed away. The Council wishes to build a fine esplanade all along the sea-front our house stands in the way and they don't wish to buy us out. 'You'd better buy the datcha, said Alexander Fed'otch to them. 'Oh no, said they, 'we leave that to God' by 'God' meaning the sea.
He comprehended only one thing, that a man named Priemkof, whom he had never heard spoken of, as determined as Matiew to destroy the general, had been entrusted by Koupriane with the guard of the datcha des Iles. It was necessary to warn Koupriane instantly. "How is it that you have not done so already, yourself, Monsieur Gounsovski? Why wait to speak about it to me? It is unimaginable."
"Still, it is strange these gentlemen had not been notified, because at the datcha the Trebassofs were told that the general's usual doctors were not at home and so the police had summoned two others who would arrive at once." Koupriane jumped up in the carriage. "But Kister and Litchkof had not left their houses. Kister, who had just met Litchkof, said so. What does this mean?"
Aleksei sat in silence during the rest of the journey home, but as they came near the house he said, "I insist that from this moment appearances be preserved for the sake of my honour, and I will communicate my decision to you after I have considered what measures I shall take." He assisted her to alight at the datcha, shook hands with her in the presence of the servants, and returned to St.
The unfortunate officer had received a bullet at the back of the head just after he had plunged into the Neva from the rear of the Trebassof datcha and started to swim across. It was a miracle that he had managed to keep going. Doubtless he hoped to die in peace if only he could reach his own house. He apparently had believed he could manage that once he had broken through his human bloodhounds.
He knew that his plan must succeed at once, or in five minutes at the latest there would be only ruins, the dead and the dying in the datcha des Iles. Still he remained astonishingly calm. In principle he had admitted that he was going to die. The only hope of being saved which remained to them rested entirely upon their keeping perfectly cool and upon the patience of the living bombs.
"Monsieur le Marechal, who had the imprudence to bring such dangerous grapes to the datcha des Iles, and and " "And the other?" asked Koupriane, more and more anxiously. "Listen there," said Rouletabille, pointing toward the Emperor's cabinet. The sound of tears and sobs reached them. The grief and the remorse of Matrena Petrovna passed the walls of the cabinet.
They brought the Ikons and the banners from the church, took the Service in case of great storms or danger, and when they had sprinkled holy water on the waves, the storm drew to a lull and gradually died away. The datcha was saved; perhaps the whole village. Slava Tebye Gospody! Glory be to Thee, O God! "They wrote to us at Vladikavkaz what had happened, and of course we came down quickly.
