'Lutchkov is clumsy and coarse, Kister brought out with difficulty; 'but... 'Why but? Aren't you ashamed to say but? He is coarse, and clumsy, and ill-natured, and conceited.... Do you hear? and, not but. 'You are speaking under the influence of anger, Marya Sergievna, Kister observed mournfully. 'Anger? A strange sort of anger! Look at me; are people like this when they 're angry?
'Begin, gentlemen! Kister went rapidly towards the barrier, but he had not gone five steps before Avdey fired, Kister started, made one more step forward, staggered. His head sank... His knees bent under him... He fell like a sack on the grass. The major rushed up to him.... 'Is it possible? whispered the dying man. Avdey went up to the man he had killed.
'But we are not going into the garden. 'Where then? 'To Long Meadow, to the copse. 'Take Taniusha with you. 'Taniusha, Taniusha! Masha cried musically, flitting lightly as a bird from the room. A quarter of an hour later Masha walked with Kister into the Long Meadow. As she passed the cattle, she gave a piece of bread to her favourite cow, patted it on the head and made Kister stroke it.
Masha took it into her head to start a game of 'catch-catch. Maid-servants and footmen came out; Mr. Perekatov stood with his wife, Kister with Masha. The maids ran with deferential little shrieks; Mr. Perekatov's valet had the temerity to separate Nenila Makarievna from her spouse; one of the servant-girls respectfully paired off with her master; Fyodor Fedoritch was not parted from Masha.
'They don't know him in our regiment, they don't appreciate him, they only see his external side. He's embittered, of course, and strange and impatient, but his heart is good. Masha listened greedily to Fyodor Fedoritch. 'Of course, just as I like lots of people. Kister looked mischievously at her. 'All right, all right, he said with a satisfied air; 'I'll bring him to you.... 'Oh, no....
Just tell me, for instance, openly, Have you had a liking for the Perekatov girl all along, or is it a case of sudden passion? 'I should prefer, Avdey Ivanitch, not to discuss with you my relations with Marya Sergievna, Kister responded coldly. 'Oh, indeed! As you please. Only you'll kindly allow me to believe that you've been humbugging me. Avdey spoke very deliberately and emphatically.
Kister dropped his eyes, and did not speak. 'Do you know, Masha brought out with some effort, 'that I made... an appointment... to meet him here... yesterday? 'I know that, Kister rejoined hurriedly. 'You know it?... Ah! now I see why the day before yesterday... Mr. Lutchkov was in a hurry it seems to boast of his conquest. Kister was about to answer....
'The devil's made friends with the baby, they said.... Kister was warm in his praises of his friend on all hands; no one disputed his opinion, because they were afraid of Lutchkov; Lutchkov himself never mentioned Kister's name before the others, but he dropped his intimacy with the perfumed adjutant.
Her soul was gently wandering in dreams. On the little table by her bedside the flower Lutchkov had picked lay in water in a clean glass. Masha, already in bed, sat up cautiously, leaned on her elbow, and her maiden lips softly touched the fresh white petals.... 'Well, Kister questioned his friend next day, 'do you like the Perekatovs? Was I right? eh? Tell me. Lutchkov did not answer.
And Kister would proceed to discourse upon Louis the Fourteenth, while Lutchkov listened, totally failing to understand a great deal, misunderstanding a part... and at last venturing to make a remark.... This threw him into a cold sweat; 'now, if I'm making a fool of myself, he thought. And as a fact he often did make a fool of himself.
