"Aha!" drawled Ivanoff, as he scratched the back of his head. "But with that we shall deal later on. At the commencement we shall not set ourselves to solve such great " "Or small ..." prompted Dubova. "Problems," continued Goschienko, affecting not to hear. "We shall begin by making out a programme of such works as we intend to read, and I propose to devote the present evening to this purpose."
After a time they left the cool water, and lying down, naked in the grass, rolled over and over in it. "Jolly, isn't it?" said Ivanoff, as he turned to the sun his broad back on which little drops of water glistened. "Here let us build tabernacles!" "Deuce take your tabernacles," cried Sanine merrily; "No tabernacles for me!" "Hurrah!" shouted Ivanoff, as he began dancing a wild, barbaric dance.
"Well, I can assure you that it is not you," replied Semenoff. "Ah! woe is me!" wailed Ivanoff; and everybody laughed. "Are my verses bad?" Sina asked Yourii. He did not think that they had much originality, for they reminded him of hundreds of similar effusions.
Ivanoff was scoring points against all his individual opponents excepting only Von Mackensen. The "phalanx," always kept up to full strength by a continuous influx of reserves and provided with millions of high-explosive shells, not only pursued its irresistible course eastward, but had to turn now right, now left, to help Austrian and German commanders out of trouble.
He was in a contented, happy mood, for at last he had got some teaching which made him less dependent upon his father, and the society of his bright, charming sister served to cheer him, also. "Oh! lots of news," said Ivanoff, with a vague look in his eyes. "One man has hanged himself, and another has blown his brains out, and the devil's got hold of a third."
The Russians gradually rolled up their line on the Dniester from west to east, keeping step with the retreat of the armies which were facing west. With strong reenforcements from Kiev and Odessa Brussilov commanded the Dniester front under the direction of General Ivanoff.
"Oh! we must have Lida," cried Lialia, not because she particularly liked the girl, but because she knew of Novikoff's passion, and wished to please him. She was so happy herself in her own love, that she wanted all those about her to be happy also. "Then we shall have to invite the officers, too," observed Ivanoff, maliciously. "What does that matter? Let us do so. The more the merrier!"
Have I, in sneezing, fulfilled my destiny?" Yourii could read hatred in the speaker's cold eyes, and it infuriated him to think that Ivanoff considered himself his superior intellectually, and was laughing at him. "We'll soon see," he thought. "That's not a programme," he retorted, striving to let his face express intense disdain, as well as reluctance to pursue the discussion.
His voice seemed to come out of a barrel, when Ivanoff introduced him to Yourii, who awkwardly shook hands with him, hardly knowing what to say to such a person. He recollected, however, that for him all men should be equal, so he politely gave precedence to the old singer as they went in.
I wished them a good night, and as soon as I was in bed the god of dreams took me under his care, and made me pass the night with the adorable Mdlle. Roman. I rang rather late in the morning, and the cousin came in and said that Rose would bring my chocolate, and that M. Charles Ivanoff wanted to speak to me.
