During the reign of the latter, early in the eleventh century, the priest of this little church, named Ilarion, excavated for himself a tiny cave, and there passed his time in devout meditation and solitary prayer. He abandoned his cave to become Metropolitan of Kieff.
Ilarion used to read them, now and then getting a five or ten kopeck piece for the service, and only when he was grey and bald, when life was nearly over, he suddenly saw written on one of the pieces of paper: "What a fool you are, Ilarion."
"I begin to believe in spirits," he called to me, looking back. "The spirit of grandfather Ilarion seems to have prophesied the truth! Oh, if only it is so!" The day after this meeting I left Yalta and how Shamohin's story ended I don't know. IT is one o'clock in the afternoon. Shopping is at its height at the "Nouveauté's de Paris," a drapery establishment in one of the Arcades.
How awful it is, how awful it is!" he went on, clutching his head. "She has had such splendid offers Prince Maktuev and . . . and others. The prince adores her, and only last Wednesday week his late grandfather, Ilarion, declared positively that Ariadne would be his wife positively! His grandfather Ilarion is dead, but he is a wonderfully intelligent person; we call up his spirit every day."
And his holiness laughed. Six miles from Lesopolye was the village Obnino with a wonder-working ikon. In Obnino, he remembered now, there were always a lot of people, and the priest there, Father Alexey, to save time during mass, used to make his deaf nephew Ilarion read the names of those for whose health or whose souls' peace prayers were asked.
To sit in Ariadne's room, to finger the keys of her piano, to look at her music was a necessity for the prince he could not live without it; and the spirit of his grandfather Ilarion was still predicting that sooner or later she would be his wife.
