Why, just now Prince S. and Adelaida Ivanovna declared that they upheld 'the poor knight'; so evidently there does exist a 'poor knight'; and if it were not for Adelaida Ivanovna, we should have known long ago who the 'poor knight' was." "Why, how am I to blame?" asked Adelaida, smiling. "You wouldn't draw his portrait for us, that's why you are to blame!
She drew back into her cold little corner.... Never shall I forget that head, those fixed eyes with their deep, burnt-out look, those dark, disordered tresses against the pale window-pane, even the grey, narrow gown, under every fold of which throbbed such young, passionate life! Unconsciously I flung up my hands. 'You... you die, Susanna Ivanovna! You have only to live.... You must live!
Everything of value furniture, pictures, even the parquet flooring had been taken out of the old house and stored, partly in the new house, partly in outhouses and on the ground. Tatiana Markovna and Vera intended to go to Novosselovo, and later on to visit the Vikentevs; for the summer they were invited to be the guests of Anna Ivanovna, Tushin's sister, at "Smoke."
I guess from your warmth that you are not indifferent to Katerina Ivanovna yourself; I’ve suspected that for a long time, brother, that’s why you don’t like my brother Ivan. Are you jealous of him?” “And jealous of her money, too? Won’t you add that?” “I’ll say nothing about money. I am not going to insult you.” “I believe it, since you say so, but confound you, and your brother Ivan with you.
Had you no scruples about hindering Ivan Ivanovich; this distance...." "It is my fault. As soon as I heard from Natalie Ivanovna that Vera Vassilievna wanted to come home, I asked for the pleasure," he said looking at Vera with a mixed air of modesty and respect. "A nice pleasure in this weather." "It was lighter while we were driving, and Vera Vassilievna was not afraid."
"Oh, let me tell you," said Olga Ivanovna, taking his arm, "how it was it all came to pass so suddenly. Listen, listen!... I must tell you that my father was on the same staff at the hospital as Dymov. When my poor father was taken ill, Dymov watched for days and nights together at his bedside. Such self-sacrifice! Listen, Ryabovsky! You, my writer, listen; it is very interesting! Come nearer.
Katerina Ivanovna's father who had been a colonel and almost a governor had sometimes had the table set for forty persons, and then anyone like Amalia Ivanovna, or rather Ludwigovna, would not have been allowed into the kitchen."
The sun still shone brightly, but in the garden there were already faint green shadows. The air was full of light and warmth and peace. Maria Ivanovna was making jam, and under the green linden-tree there was a strong smell of boiling sugar and raspberries. Sanine had been busy at the flower-beds all the morning, trying to revive some of the flowers that suffered most from the dust and heat.
'Why, of the most honoured Susanna Ivanovna, of course! Viktor lolled still more comfortably, put his arm up round his head, gazed at his own hand, and cleared his throat hoarsely. I glanced at Fustov. He merely shrugged his shoulders, as though giving me to understand that it was no use talking to such a dolt.
"Thank you, thank you, Lisabeta Ivanovna," says the wolf, and off he goes to look for a sheep. The pretty young fox went idly on, taking the air, for she knew that the wolf would save her the trouble of looking for food. Presently she met the bear. "Good-day to you, Lisabeta Ivanovna," says the bear; "as pretty as ever, I see you are."
