Five minutes later, Ivan Nikiforovitch's nankeen trousers appeared, and took nearly half the yard to themselves. After that she fetched out a hat and a gun. "What's the meaning of this?" thought Ivan Ivanovitch. "I never knew Ivan Nikiforovitch had a gun. What does he want with it? Whether he shoots, or not, he keeps a gun! Of what use is it to him? But it's a splendid thing.
"Good morning, Peter Feodorovitch!" cried Ivan Ivanovitch, who was, as has already been stated, exceedingly curious, and could not restrain his impatience as the chief of police began to ascend to the balcony, yet never raised his eyes, and kept grumbling at his foot, which could not be persuaded to mount the step at the first attempt.
'He won't eat my share at dinner, I suppose? queried Bazarov. Vassily Ivanovitch laughed. 'How you talk! 'Well, that's all I ask. I'm ready to sit down to table with any man.

"Alexis Ivanovitch," said the old lady, "after luncheon, that is to say, about four o'clock get ready to go out with me again. But in the meanwhile, good-bye.

"What will you take, Ivan Ivanovitch?" he inquired: "will you have a cup of tea?" "No, much obliged," replied Ivan Ivanovitch, as he bowed and seated himself. "Do me the favour one little cup," repeated the judge. "No, thank you; much obliged for your hospitality," replied Ivan Ivanovitch, and rose, bowed, and sat down again. "Just one little cup," repeated the judge.
Yes, driven back for a third time, but a decisive engagement expected for tomorrow." And after talking a little more of King Milan's proclamation, and the immense effect it might have, they parted, going to their carriages on hearing the second bell. Sergey Ivanovitch had not telegraphed to his brother to send to meet him, as he did not know when he should be able to leave Moscow.
