Trevison had meditated, not without a certain wry humor, upon the strength and the protracted potency of Manti's whiskey, for not once during his home-coming had Levins shown the slightest sign of returning consciousness. He was as slack as a meal sack now, as Trevison lifted him from the pony's back and let him slip gently to the ground at his feet.
Then he ran to where he had left Nigger, leading the animal back into the zig-zag passages, pulling his rifle out of the saddle holster and stationing himself in the shadow of the house in which he had taken Levins. "They've come back, eh?" the wounded man's voice floated out to him. "Yes five or six of them. No eight!
Is it logical to suppose that he would lend his influence and his good name to any such ridiculous scheme?" She sighed, almost convinced. Corrigan went on, earnestly: "This man Trevison is a disturber he has always been that. He has no respect for the law or property. He associates with the self-confessed murderer, Levins.
"Tell me about all of you. Stiva I had only a glimpse of, and he cannot tell one about the children. How is my favorite, Tanya? Quite a big girl, I expect?" "Yes, she's very tall," Darya Alexandrovna answered shortly, surprised herself that she should respond so coolly about her children. "We are having a delightful stay at the Levins'," she added.
At a turn in the butte he came upon them both, their horses halted, the girl berating Levins, the man laughing lowly at her. "Don't!" she cried to Trevison as he rode up. "Please, Trevison don't let that happen! It's criminal; it's outlawry!" "Too late," he said grimly, and rode close to her to grasp the bridle of her horse.
As Alexey says, he's one of those people who are very pleasant if one accepts them for what they try to appear to be, et puis il est comme il faut, as Princess Varvara says. Then Veslovsky...you know him. A very nice boy," she said, and a sly smile curved her lips. "What's this wild story about him and the Levins? Veslovsky told Alexey about it, and we don't believe it.
Levins snickered. They trailed the reins over the heads of their horses, and walked swiftly toward the corrugated iron building.
When Oblonsky asked Levin what had brought him to town, Levin blushed, and was furious with himself for blushing, because he could not answer, "I have come to make your sister-in-law an offer," though that was precisely what he had come for. The families of the Levins and the Shtcherbatskys were old, noble Moscow families, and had always been on intimate and friendly terms.
They quieted her fears and fled out into the plains again, charging themselves with stupidity for not being more diplomatic in dealing with Mrs. Levins. During the early hours of the morning they rode again to the Diamond K ranchhouse, thinking that perhaps Trevison had slipped by them and returned.
