"Yes, yes, I understand," interrupted Sanine, losing patience. "I very nearly kicked him out of the house, so that 'not er quite' is hardly the right way of putting it." The speech was lost upon Tanaroff, who went on: "Well, sir, he insists on your taking back your words." "Yes, yes," chimed in the lanky Von Deitz, who kept shifting the position of his feet, like a stork. Sanine smiled.

"A woman's just a female," replied Ivanoff, "In every thousand men you might find one worthy to be called a man. But women, bah! They're all alike just little naked, plump, rosy apes without tails!" "Rather smart, that!" said Von Deitz, approvingly. "And true, too," thought Novikoff, bitterly.

"I'm not going to stand this... You ... you are simply laughing at us. Don't you understand that to refuse to accept a challenge is ... is ..." He was as red as a lobster, his eyes were starting from his head, and there was foam on his lips. Sanine looked curiously at his mouth, and said: "And this is the man whose calls himself a disciple of Tolstoi!" Von Deitz winced, and tossed his head.

"Look here, Gertie, the thing I've always admired about you is your wholesomeness and " "'Wholesome! Oh, that word! As Miss Deitz was saying just the other day, it's as bad " "But you are wholesome, Gertie.

He could hear Tanaroff trying to pacify the enraged Von Deitz, and thought to himself, "As a rule the fellow's an utter fool, but put him on his hobby-horse, and he becomes quite sensible." "The matter cannot be allowed to rest thus!" cried the implacable Von Deitz, as they went out. From the door of her room, Lida gently called "Volodja!" Sanine stood still. "What is it?"

His thoughts came swiftly, incoherently, yet his suffering, and irreparable misfortune would seem to have roused something new and latent within him of which in his careless years of selfish enjoyment he had never been conscious. "Von Deitz, for instance, was always saying, 'If one smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the left. But how did he come back that day from Sanine's?

"Look here, Gertie, I don't want to butt in, and I'm guessing at it, but looks to me as though one of these artistic grafters was working you. What do you know about this Deitz person? Has she done anything worth while? And honestly, Gertie By the way, I don't want to be brutal, but I don't think I could stand 'Eltruda. It sounds like 'Tottykins." "Now really, Carl " "Wait a second.

"That is your affair," he said, in an unmistakably contemptuous tone, "but I must warn you that ..." Sanine laughed. "Yes, yes, I know, but I advise Sarudine not to ..." "Not to what?" asked Tanaroff, as he picked up his cap from the window-sill. "I advise him not to touch me, or else I'll give him such a thrashing that ..." "Look here!" cried Von Deitz, in a fury.

How absurd you are!" interrupted Yourii, rendered more furious by the thought that this stupid Von Deitz should for a moment presume to think himself the cleverer. "I meant to say ..." "That may be. I am sorry if I misunderstood you." Von Deitz shrugged his narrow shoulders, with an air of condescension, as much as to say that he had got the best of the argument.

"What sort of book?" "It's about women, by Tolstoi," replied the lanky officer, raising his voice as if he were making a report. On his long sallow face there was a look of evident pride at being able to read and discuss Tolstoi. "Do you read Tolstoi?" asked Ivanoff, who had noticed this naively complacent expression. "Von Deitz is mad about Tolstoi," exclaimed Malinowsky, with a loud guffaw.
