"Anyhow," exclaimed Von Deitz, blundering along in unwieldy fashion, "Christianity has enriched mankind with an imperishable boon, being the only system of morals that is complete and comprehensible."
The echo of her voice across the river Hounded charming. "I must go," said Sanine, after a pause. "Where are you going?" asked Novikoff. "Svarogitsch and that officer who admires Tolstoi, what's his name? a lanky German fellow, have called for me." "You mean Von Deitz," said Lida, laughing. "That's the man. They wanted us all to come with them to a meeting, but I said that you were not at home."
This good-tempered, mocking tone of voice annoyed him, yet he had no answer ready. He was not fond of arguing with Sanine, for his usual vocabulary proved useless in such an encounter. Every time it seemed as if he were trying to break down a wall while standing on smooth ice. Von Deitz, however, stumbling along and rattling his spurs, exclaimed irritably: "May I ask why?"
Von Deitz burst into a fit of hoarse laughter that sounded like the barking of a dog. He had not understood Ivanoff's joke, but felt sorry not to have made it himself. Suddenly Novikoff held out his hand to him. "What? Are you off?" asked Von Deitz in surprise. Novikoff made no reply. "Where are you going?" asked Sanine. Still Novikoff was silent.
"Then how can you maintain that a man is able to create eternal laws?" "Idiot!" thought Yourii, agreeably convinced that the other was infinitely less intelligent than he, and would never be able to comprehend what was as plain and clear as noonday. "Supposing it were so," rejoined Von Deitz, nettled, in his turn. "The future will nevertheless have Christianity as its basis.
In the second place, I thoroughly dislike Sarudine, so that, under these circumstances, I don't see that there is any sense in my retractation." "Very well, then..." hissed Tanaroff through his teeth. Von Deitz stared in amazement, and his long face turned yellow. "In that case..." began Tanaroff, in a louder and would-be threatening tone.
