Well, I have allowed myself the luxury of explanation with you. But now I must finish that, and go." "And where do you go, Irina Petrovna?" inquired Ivan, in the deep, calm voice that suddenly bereft the woman of all her easy impertinence. Unquestionably, she flushed. "Do not ask me. There is a refuge that is mine for the asking " "Ah! Well, about Joseph.
Suffice it that, shortly, word went round to the effect that this one guest of the Quarter, though he was to be accorded privileges of comradeship, must remain a stranger to the inner significance of the prevalent red flag. Whereupon Irina, breathing freely, entered, for a few weeks, into the Kingdom.
Then, presto! the room was in a nervous hush, while Irina lifted a quivering glass to the candle-light, and, in a voice not her own, proposed a toast: The complete success of Yevgeny Burevsky's experiment, and and his speedy appearance among his waiting friends.
Sometimes I I have hardly enough. Perhaps, now, Ivan Mikhailovitch, you would lend " "You must have some food, at once," broke in Ivan, harshly. To his surprise, Joseph suddenly sprang to his feet, crying, angrily: "See here, what the devil are you doing here? And where is Irina? I want her! She knows me. Where has she gone?" "I don't know." "Don't Rot! She's at a restaurant. I'm late.
Now, into their unstable existence, came Ivan; and over him brother and sister had their first dispute: Irina her first victory. True, Sergius knew, and was to know, nothing of his sister's past acquaintance with the composer, or what a debt he, as a brother, owed Ivan. In his eyes Gregoriev was simply a man of the world, unknown to the police, and, therefore, a valuable tool.
General Ratmirov's arrival put an end to their converse, and Litvinov rose to depart. At the door Irina stopped him. "You have told me everything," she said, "but the chief thing you have concealed. You are going to be married, I am told." Litvinov blushed up to his ears. As a fact, he had intentionally not referred to Tatyana.
In the beginning, his things caught the general fancy, and he had an unquestioned vogue. It was pot-boiling, certainly; but, for the moment, glaring faults were concealed by the meteoric brilliancy of his technique. Irina was his only model. But what the world likes, it is willing to have repeated; and head after head of the beautiful woman was sold, and still the dealers clamored for more.
Litvinov called frequently at the house, and fell desperately in love with the eldest daughter, Irina. Irina was only seventeen, and as beautiful as the dawn.
Nevertheless it was he who had been responsible for bringing Irina Petrovna and her brother to Ivan's rooms on the night of the opera, inspired, rather maliciously, by some faint memory of the old court-martial proceedings, and the long intrigue deduced by every one between Ivan and the girl.
Sergius was himself, indeed, the heart and soul of his branch of the brotherhood; and from him had emanated none knew how many screeds and pamphlets upon his favorite theme. Irina, relying on him as the last protector of her family, questioned none of his plans, but found in his manner of life much that delighted her Bohemian soul.
