"It does not seem, but it is so!" said Novikoff, in the same tone, his eyes still fixed on his glass. Instantly, as it were, a living wall rose up between the rivals, amid much shouting, waving of arms, and expressions of amusement or of surprise. Sarudine was held back by Malinowsky and Von Deitz, while Ivanoff and the other officers kept Novikoff in check.
"I must beg of you," he spluttered, ashamed all the while at thus addressing a man with whom till now he had been on friendly terms. "I must beg of you not to mention that. It has nothing whatever to do with this matter." "Hasn't it! though?" replied Sanine. "It has a great deal to do with it." "Yes, but I must ask you," croaked Von Deitz, becoming hysterical. "Really, this is too much!
In short ..." "Oh! That'll do!" replied Sanine, drawing back in disgust from Von Deitz, from whose mouth saliva spurted. "Think what you like; I don't care. And tell Sarudine that he is an ass!" "You've no right, sir, I say, you've no right," shouted Von Deitz. "Very good, very good," said Tanaroff, quite satisfied "Let us go." "No!" cried the other, plaintively, as he waved his lanky arms.
To destroy literature would be to take away all colour from life and make it insipid." Von Deitz stopped short, letting Yourii pass him, and then he asked Sanine: "Oh! pray tell me more I What you were saying just now interests me immensely." Sanine laughed. "What I said was simple enough. I can explain my point at greater length, if you wish.
If we were all more sincere, it would be far more amusing for everybody." Von Deitz laughed loudly. "What an original idea!" he exclaimed. Yourii did not reply. His anger had subsided, and he felt almost pleased, though it irked him to think that he had got the worst of it, and would not admit this. "Such a state of things might be somewhat too primitive," added Von Deitz sententiously.
"Damnation, take it! when I win, then you tell me you've staked on the side, and when I lose ..." "I beg your pardon," said Von Deitz, dropping his Russian accent, as he was wont to do when angry. "Pardon be hanged! Take back your stake! No! No! Take it back, I say!" "But let me tell you, sir, that ..."
I'm studying ceramics with Miss Deitz, she's so wonderful and temperamental and she has the dearest studio on Gramercy Park. Of course I haven't made anything yet, but I know I'm going to like it so much, and Miss Deitz says I have a natural taste for vahzes and " "Huh? Oh yes, vases. I get you." Miss Deitz has a temperament herself. Would you like to call me 'Eltruda, sometimes?"
His ill-humour was contagious, for soon between Von Deitz and Malinowsky there was an interchange of high words. "I have staked on the side, there!" exclaimed Von Deitz irritably. It amazed him that this drunken boor, Malinowsky, should dare to dispute with such a clever, accomplished person as himself. "Oh! so you say!" replied Malinowsky, rudely.
Sarudine took the slender red-covered pamphlet, and, turning over a few pages, said, "Is it interesting?" "You'll see for yourself," replied Von Deitz with enthusiasm. "There's a brain for you, my word! It's just as if one had known it all one's self!"
Von Deitz drew himself up and sought to give an expression of hauteur to his horse-like countenance; unsuccessfully, however, owing to his confusion. Strange to say, it was Tanaroff, usually so stupid and shy, who addressed Sanine in firm, decisive fashion.
