I had difficulty in obtaining a post; I did not want to give private lessons; there was nothing I could do in the lower schools. At last I succeeded in getting an appointment as professor in the gymnasium here. 'As professor of what? asked Lezhnyov. 'Professor of literature. I can tell you I never started on any work with such zest as I did on this.
Alexandra Pavlovna did not at once recognise the man who was sitting behind her husband's back. 'Ah! Mr. Bassistoff! she cried at last 'It's he, answered Lezhnyov; 'and he has brought such glorious news. Wait a minute, you shall know directly. And he drove into the courtyard. Some minutes later he came with Bassistoff into the balcony.
But no sooner do I get into any definite position when fate throws the dice from me. I have come to dread it my destiny.... Why is it so? Explain this enigma to me! 'An enigma! repeated Lezhnyov. 'Yes, that's true; you have always been an enigma for me.
It's not every one who can say that of himself! 'Sit down, said Alexandra Pavlovna, 'why do you keep moving about like a pendulum? 'I like it better, answered Lezhnyov.
I drink to the comrade of my best years, I drink to youth, to its hopes, its endeavours, its faith, and its honesty, to all that our hearts beat for at twenty; we have known, and shall know, nothing better than that in life.... I drink to that golden time to the health of Rudin! All clinked glasses with Lezhnyov.
'And what was the cause of your quarrel with Rudin? said Alexandra Pavlovna, looking wonderingly at Lezhnyov. 'I did not quarrel with him, but I parted from him when I came to know him thoroughly abroad. But I might well have quarrelled with him in Moscow, he did me a bad turn there. 'What was that? 'It was like this.
A servant entered with a letter in his hand. 'From whom? asked Lezhnyov. 'From Rudin, Dmitri Nikolaitch. The Lasunsky's servant brought it. 'From Rudin? repeated Volintsev, 'to whom? 'To you. 'To me!... give it me! Volintsev seized the letter, quickly tore it open, and began to read.
Alexandra Pavlovna heard his speech to the end and turned to her brother. 'I keep meeting people to-day; I have just been talking to Lezhnyov. 'Oh, Lezhnyov! was he driving somewhere? 'Yes, and fancy; he was in a racing droshky, and dressed in a kind of linen sack, all covered with dust.... What a queer creature he is! 'Perhaps so; but he's a capital fellow. 'Who? Mr.
The 'circle, something between an informal club and a debating society, became the form in which these cravings of mind or heart could be satisfied. These people met and talked; that was all they were able to do. The passage in which one of the heroes, Lezhnyov, tells the woman he loves about the circle of which Dmitri Rudin and himself were members, is historically one of the most suggestive.
You have called yourself the Wandering Jew.... But how do you know, perhaps it was right for you to be ever wandering, perhaps in that way you are fulfilling a higher calling than you know; popular wisdom says truly that we are all in God's hands. You are going, Dmitri, continued Lezhnyov, seeing that Rudin was taking his hat 'You will not stop the night? 'Yes, I am going! Good-bye.
