Cogswell chirped, "Now that he's broken the ice, in a couple of hours kids will be scratching their names on our hull." In the morning, two or three hours after dawn, they made their preparations to disembark. Of them all, only Leonid Plekhanov was unarmed. Joe Chessman had a heavy handgun holstered at his waist. The rest of the men carried submachine guns.
A GIRL sings behind the rail fence: "No man may hope to flee the sting Of cruel affliction's pain; New love within the heart may sing Regret still in its train." GIRL. Pretty, but not yours! LEONÍD. Come here! GIRL. Where? LEONÍD. To me in the garden. GIRL. Why go to you? LEONÍD. I'll go to town and buy you earrings. GIRL. You're only a kid! She laughs loudly and goes out.
They'll find a position for you of the most gentlemanly, delicate sort; your clerks will work, but you'll be their chief, over all of them. And promotions will come to you of themselves. LEONÍD. Perhaps they will make me vice-governor, or elect me marshal of the nobility. POTÁPYCH. It's not improbable. LEONÍD. Well, and when I'm vice-governor, shall you be afraid of me?
But when he published in this newspaper a short story, Gorki sent a telegram to the office, demanding to know the real name of the writer who signed himself Leonid Andreev. He was informed that the signature was no pseudonym. This notice from Gorki gave the young man immediate prominence.
Sometimes she has them eat with her; and she doesn't make them do any work. "Let everybody look," says the mistress, "and see how my protégées live; I want every one to envy them," she says. LEONÍD. Well, now, that's fine, Potápych. POTÁPYCH. And what a touching little sermon she reads them when they're married!
Hawkins turned to him. "By the looks of things, MacBride's whole unit has gone over to the rebels. Complete with their double-barreled muskets. A full thousand of them." Watson looked frigidly at Leonid Plekhanov. "You insisted on issuing guns to men we weren't sure of." Plekhanov grumbled, "Confound it, don't use that tone of voice with me. We have to arm our men, don't we?"
Just sit quietly, as we said we would. LEONÍD. Shall we sit like this, with our hands folded? Hear, a nightingale is singing in the thicket. Sit down and listen. How nice it is to listen! LEONÍD. Like this? NÁDYA. Yes, as we sit together. It seems as if I could sit here all my life and listen. What could be better, what more could one want?.... LEONÍD. Nádya, dear, that would really be a bore.
LEONÍD. No, truly!.... Truly, no one has ever loved me. Honest to God.... NÁDYA. Don't swear; I believe you without it. LEONÍD. Let's go sit down on the bench. LEONÍD. Why do you tremble so? NÁDYA. Am I trembling? LEONÍD. You are. NÁDYA. Then, it must be that I feel a bit chilly. LEONÍD. Just let me wrap you up. He covers her with one side of his cloak, embracing her as he holds it around her.
I'm a girl that knows how to take care of herself without any watching. LÍZA. It looks as if the master were coming. LEONÍD comes in with a gun. LEONÍD and then POTÁPYCH LEONÍD. Wait a bit! Hey, you, where are you going? Why are they always running away from me? Silence.
Leonid Andreev is at this moment regarded by many Russians as the foremost literary artist among the younger school of writers. He was born at Orel, the birthplace of Turgenev, in 1871, and is thus only two years younger than Gorki. He began life as a lawyer at Moscow, but according to his own statement, he had only one case, and lost that.
