'Directly, directly, Ivan Demianitch responded nervously. 'Eleonora Karpovna! Leonora! Lenchen! come here! There was a sound of something ponderous moving the other side of the door, and at the same instant I heard Viktor's imperious call: 'Why on earth don't they put the horses in?

"Thank you, thank you," said Paulina Karpovna to Raisky as she passed him. "What for?" asked Raisky in amazement. "For the pleasant, witty conversation, although it was not directed to me. What pleasure it gave me!" "A practical conversation about groats, a goose, and a quarrel with Grandmother."
