Forgive me my too hasty speech." "You, too, my poor Ivan Ivanovich! I can find neither prayers nor tears, nor is there any guidance or help for me anywhere." "What words of despair are these, Vera Vassilievna?" "Do you know whom you love?" He threw his cloak on the bench, and wiped the sweat from his brow. Her words told him that his hopes were ruined, that her love was given elsewhere.
He beat me so not as a wife is beaten, but as one whom you hate and detest. Twenty years I lived like that, and what was up to the time of my marriage I do not recall. I remember certain things, but I see nothing! I am as a blind person. Yegor Ivanovich was here we are from the same village and he spoke about this and about that.
At the head of the table sat old Korchagin, on his left the physician; on his right, a visitor, Ivan Ivanovich Kolosoff, an ex-district commander, and now a bank manager, who was a friend of the family, and of liberal tendencies; further to the left was Miss Rader, governess to Missy's four-year-old sister, with the little girl herself; then to the right, Missy's only brother, Peter, a high-school pupil, on account of whose forthcoming examinations the entire family remained in the city, and his tutor, also a student; then again to the left, Katherine Alexeievna, a forty-year-old girl Slavophile; opposite to her was Michael Sergeievich, or Misha Telegin, Missy's cousin, and at the foot of the table, Missy herself, and beside her, on the table, lay an extra cover.
The gatherings increased in number, and began to be held twice a week; and when the mother observed with what avidity the young people listened to the speeches of her son and the Little Russian, to the interesting stories of Sashenka, Natasha, Alexey Ivanovich, and the other people from the city, she forgot her fears and shook her head sadly as she recalled the days of her youth.
"Why, good gracious! that book. However, I didn't send for you but it's all the same. What are you all doing down-stairs? Here is Fedor Ivanovich come. How is your headache?" "It's of no consequence." "You always say, 'It's of no consequence. What are you all doing down below? having music again?" "No They are playing cards." "Of course; she is ready for anything.
"Well, where?" Prokhor Ivanovich comes to a stop for a minute. "And here's where: nailed over there, on the fifth shelf with old hats, where we keep all dead cats." "Scat! You darn fool!" Niura laughs shrilly over all Yama, and throws herself down on the sill, kicking her legs in high black stockings.
Each of us has a duty to fulfil. You, Fedor Ivanovich, must become reconciled with your wife." "Liza!" "I entreat you to let it be so. By this alone can expiation be made for for all that has taken place. Think over it, and then you will not refuse my request." "Liza! for God's sake! You ask what is impossible. I am ready to do every thing you tell me; but to be reconciled with her now!
But I should like to help you, since you say yourself you rely on me for a service. I thank you for holding me worthy of that. You stand so high above me; I always feel that you stand so high, Vera Vassilievna." "My poor Ivan Ivanovich, I have fallen from those heights, and no human power can reinstate me," she said, as she led him to the edge of the precipice.
The finest partie in this neighbourhood," he said in a confidential tone, "is Ivan Ivanovich Tushin, who is absolutely devoted to her, as he well may be." Raisky repressed a sigh and went home where he found Vikentev and his mother, who had arrived for Marfinka's birthday, with Paulina Karpovna and other guests from the town, who stayed until nearly seven o'clock.
The acquaintance may have dated from the apprenticeship on the docks of the East India Company; but at any rate, among the foreign navigators was one Vitus Ivanovich Bering, a Dane of humble origin from Horsens, who had been an East India Company sailor till he joined the Russian fleet as sub-lieutenant at the age of twenty-two, and fought his way up in the Baltic service through Peter's wars till in 1720 he was appointed captain of second rank.
