She could hardly believe that she was really going to escape from the old woman at last, and have a hut of her own, where there would be no one to scold her. She wondered who the young man was. She hoped he was Fedor Ivanovitch, who had such kind eyes, and such nimble fingers on the balalaika, and such a merry way of flinging out his heels when he danced the Russian dance.
"I had trouble enough to find it," she said, standing between Liza and Lavretsky; "I had stuffed it away myself. Dear me, see what old age comes to! But, after all, youth is no better. Well, are you going to Lavriki with your wife?" she added, turning to Fedor Ivanovich. "To Lavriki with her? I? I don't know," he added, after a short pause. "Won't you pay a visit down stairs?" "Not to-day."
With that they turned their faces toward home. Flowers nodded gaily on all sides, and soon replaced the luncheon in their basket. Mosses, green and velvety, sank beneath the pressure of each foot-fall, and a brood of eaglets tested their pinions near the crag above the trail. Right glad was Fedor Michaelovitz before reaching home that he had listened to Eyllen and carried his walking stick.
"And Elena Mikhailovna?" "Lenochka is in the garden also. Have you any news?" "Rather!" replied the visitor, slowly screwing up his eyes, and protruding his lips. "Hm! here is a piece of news, if you please, and a very startling one, too. Fedor Ivanovich Lavretsky has arrived." "Fedia!" exclaimed Marfa Timofeevna. "You're inventing, are you not?" "Not at all. I have seen him with my own eyes."
Fedor Mihailovich did not intend to strike him, but he was glad to vent his wrath, and went on shouting and abusing the boy till he had closed the door. When the maid came in to announce that dinner was ready, Fedor Mihailovich rose. "At last!" he said. "I don't feel hungry any longer." He went to the dining-room with a sullen face.
"Then, Nadia," said Michael, "I think that God, in allowing us to meet, and to go through so many severe trials together, must have meant us to be united forever." "Ah!" said Nadia, falling into Michael's arms. Then turning towards Wassili Fedor, "My father," said she, blushing. "Nadia," said Captain Fedor, "it will be my joy to call you both my children!"
"You have done what is perfectly right. I am not in the least angry. I never intended to deprive my wife of the power of seeing her acquaintances. I did not come to see you to-day simply because I did not wish to meet her. That was all." "Ah! how glad I am to hear you say that, Fedor Ivanich!" exclaimed Maria Dmitrievna. "However, I always expected as much from your noble feelings.
Liza, Liza!" exclaimed Lavretsky, "how happy we might have been!" Liza again looked up at him. "Now even you must see, Fedor Ivanovich, that happiness does not depend upon ourselves, but upon God." "Yes, because you " The door of the next room suddenly opened, and Marfa Timofeevna came in, holding her cap in her hand.
He led the conversation round to Panshin. "Vladimir Nikolaitch has a good heart," said Lisa, "and he is clever; mother likes him." "And do you like him?" "He is nice; why should I not like him?" "Ah!" A half ironical, half mournful expression crossed his face. "Well, may God grant them happiness," he muttered as though to himself. Lisa flushed. "You are mistaken, Fedor Ivanitch.
It is all very well for you to speak as you do." "Be off, you silly boy! Be off!" Fedor Mihailovich jumped from his seat and pounced upon his son. "Be off, I say!" he shouted. "You deserve a good thrashing, all you boys!" His son was at once frightened and embittered. The bitterness was even greater than the fright. With his head bent down he hastily turned to the door.
