Then, reseating himself, and clutching at his head, he says gloomily: "I intend to leave here tomorrow, and go home. I do not care WHAT becomes of me." With which he subsides on to the floor as though exhausted. "The blockhead!" is Konev's remark. Amid the darkness a black shape rises. It does so as soundlessly as a fish in a pond, glides to the door, and disappears.
Can you read?" "No, I cannot. But tell me, yourself, what the vision was?" "Listen, and I will do so." From outside the window Konev's voice softly inquires: "Is that our lot in there? Yes? Thank God, then, for I had nearly lost my way after stirring up a lot of dogs, and being forced to use my fists upon them. Here, you! Catch hold!"
Also, I find that whenever the elder of the two women lifts her eyes from her work, and half smiles, the faint half-smile in question vexes me intensely. Consequently, I end by departing in Konev's wake.
Somehow I discern in the dog's mien of holding itself prepared for anything that may turn up, a certain resemblance to Konev's bearing, save that the dog is older in appearance than is the vagabond. "You mentioned my wife, I think?" presently he resumes with a sigh. "Yes, I know, but not EVERY malady proves mortal, and I have been married nineteen years!"
And in Konev's tone there would seem to be a touch of meaning. "The woman was a fool of that there can be no doubt; but also she was comely, as well as a person out of the common in her pity for folk." "Was it then that you found her again?" "When?" "On that Feast of the Assumption?" "Oh no. It was only during the following winter that I came up with her.
"But it is so hot in the middle of the yard, sir!" "Everywhere it is hot," retorts the man reprovingly, and his head subsides again. From above comes the whispered query: "Who ARE you?" "Well, do you remember Tatiana, the woman from Riazan?" "DO I remember her?" Konev's voice has in it a touch of subdued resentment. "DO I remember her? Why, I was tried in court together with her!"
