That "poor Kranitski" had left the city to live on his estate permanently, or rather in his poor village, situated in that same district as Krynichna, not very near, but in the same region. Of course, he will be a frequent guest at Krynichna but, maybe not; even, surely not. Indeed, she had broken with him, and, in truth, she felt immense shame and pain he laughed. A penitent Magdalen!
But I beg you, father, to believe that in no case shall we remain in this house." With pale, almost with blue lips, she laughed and added: "Either as inhabitants of Krynichna, or making our own living in some distant place which do you prefer, father? In the last instance it depends on you.
"Then mamma and I must withdraw; if not to Krynichna to some remote place abroad I know four European languages well, I know how to paint, and I know a few other things. Mamma possesses a real genius in several rare accomplishments, and you remember well her beautiful music. We will give lessons, and do something else I know not what we shall find means of existence.

Her voice grew weaker, and her posture less constrained, in her whole form there was an expression of suffering. Everything which she said cost her, in spite of appearances to the contrary, much effort and suffering.
I am very sorry; but in me is not stuff to make the hero of a Christian romance. Thou hast perfect freedom of movement; Krynichna belongs to thy daughter. Thou mayst vanish with her in that 'lonely corner, in which I cannot wish pleasant lives to you, or remain and live here as hitherto, which I could understand better; but in no case " He stopped suddenly, and was silent.
And then, with hesitating voice, he inquired: "Thou hast said: 'that which is happening and going on in the house. What is going on there?" To this the baron answered, with growing blushes: "How? Do you not know that Pani Darvid and Panna Irene set out in a few days for a retreat?" "To Krynichna," said Maryan, completing the information.
