NEGLIGÉNTOV. Impossible; from my birth I had no aptitude for the sciences. I received from fifty to a hundred birch rods nearly every day, but they didn't quicken my understanding. LEONÍD. Oh, mamma, how amusingly he tells about the way he learned! Here, just listen. Well, and how did you learn Latin? NEGLIGÉNTOV. Turpissime! NEGLIGÉNTOV. Most abominably.

LEONÍD. And so she treats other people's girls the same way? POTÁPYCH. Other people's, too. She extends her care to everybody. She has such a kind heart that she worries about everybody. She even gets angry if they do anything without her permission. And the way she looks after her protégées is just a wonder. She dresses them as if they were her own daughters.

The same and LEONÍD LEONÍD. How are you, mamma? MADAM ULANBÉKOV. How are you, my dear? Where have you been? LEONÍD. I went hunting with Potápych. I killed two ducks, mamma. MADAM ULANBÉKOV. You don't spare your mother; the idea, going hunting in your state of health! You'll fall sick again, God forbid! and then you'll simply kill me! GAVRÍLOVNA. Some tea, master? LEONÍD. No, thanks.

For this reason, Leverrier pronounced, in 1867, the Perseid to be of older formation than the Leonid system. He even assigned a date at which the introduction of the last-named bodies into their present orbit was probably effected through the influence of Uranus.

Why, because, as you are still under age, the mistress wants to watch over you as she ought to; well, and she watches over them, too. LEONÍD. She watches us, ha, ha, ha! POTÁPYCH. Yes, sir. That's the truth! She was talking about that. It's your mamma's business to be strict, because she is a lady. But why should you mind her! You ought to act for yourself, as all young gentlemen do.

Later, in the space lighter heading back for Genoa, Mayer said speculatively, "Did you notice anything about Leonid Plekhanov?" Kennedy was piloting. "He seems the same irascible old curmudgeon he's always been." "It seems to me he's become a touch power mad. Could the pressures he's under cause his mind to slip?

I should have been glad to establish that boy in life, but he crawls into the house drunk. Now, if he's a prey to that weakness, he ought, at least, to try to hide it from me. Let him drink where he will, but don't let me see it! I should know, at least, that he respected me. What clownishness! What impudence! Whom will he be afraid of, pray tell, if not of me? LEONÍD. Oh, what a comical fellow!

LEONÍD. I do love you, indeed I do! Same room as in second picture POTÁPYCH is leaning against the door-jamb, his hand to his head. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA enters quietly. VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Result of yesterday evening, I suppose, my friend? POTÁPYCH. Wha-a-t? VASILÍSA PEREGRÍNOVNA. Your head aches. POTÁPYCH. Did you put up the money?

I suffered all the more from the venality of those at the head. Our rector liked gifts; and a week before the examinations, he sent us all to our parents for presents. According to the number of these presents, we were promoted to the higher classes. LEONÍD. What was your conduct like? NEGLIGÉNTOV. Reprehensible. MADAM ULANBÉKOV. What in the world! Good heavens! Go away, my dear sir, go away!

"You begin by being an ensign, that is comprehensible. You and Leonid Koslov are exceptions; every other man has made his decision." When Koslov was asked his intentions he replied that he would like to be a schoolmaster somewhere in the interior, and from this intention he refused to be turned aside.
