At last, wrenching himself away, he drew his revolver and put it in the open mouth of Lyamshin, who was still yelling and was by now tightly held by Tolkatchenko, Erkel, and Liputin. But Lyamshin went on shrieking in spite of the revolver. At last Erkel, crushing his silk handkerchief into a ball, deftly thrust it into his mouth and the shriek ceased.
Liputin tried to persuade him. "He'll tell Lizaveta Nikolaevna to-morrow." "Lizaveta!" he yelled again. "Stay, don't go! A variation; 'Among the Amazons a star, Upon her steed she flashes by, And smiles upon me from afar, The child of aris-to-cra-cy! To a Starry Amazon. You know that's a hymn. It's a hymn, if you're not an ass! The duffers, they don't understand! Stay!"
He put off speaking about it till next day, when it would be all over and would therefore not matter to Kirillov; such at least was Pyotr Stepanovitch's judgment of him. Liputin, too, was struck by the fact that Shatov was not mentioned in spite of what Pyotr Stepanovitch had promised, but he was too much agitated to protest.
And he stamped with his foot ten paces from the end of the grotto towards the wood. At that moment Tolkatchenko rushed out from behind a tree and sprang at him from behind, while Erkel seized him by the elbows. Liputin attacked him from the front. The three of them at once knocked him down and pinned him to the ground. At this point Pyotr Stepanovitch darted up with his revolver.
For how much does it mean to his excellency to disgrace a girl of good character, or put to shame another man's wife, like that incident with me? If he comes across a generous-hearted man he'll force him to cover the sins of others under the shelter of his honourable name. That's just what I had to put up with, I'm speaking of myself...." "Be careful, Liputin."
The engineer frowned, flushed red, shrugged his shoulders and went out of the room. "Alexey Nilitch positively snatched the whip out of his hand, broke it and threw it out of the window, and they had a violent quarrel," added Liputin. "Why are you chattering, Liputin; it's stupid. What for?" Alexey Nilitch turned again instantly.
Then came the scandalous scene you know of, and then they got him home more dead than alive, and Liputin niched away the two hundred roubles, leaving him only small change. But it appears unluckily that already that morning Lebyadkin had taken that two hundred roubles out of his pocket, boasted of it and shown it in undesirable quarters. That's the whole truth.
Besides, I swear on my honour, Liputin kept saying, 'Send it, send it, every man, however humble, has a right to send a letter! And so I sent it." "You offered yourself as a suitor, I understand." "Enemies, enemies, enemies?" "Repeat the verses," said Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch sternly. "Ravings, ravings, more than anything."
"What business is it of yours?" he asked suddenly with strange calm. "What business is it of mine I You are wearing the steward's badge, too.... Where is Pyotr Stepanovitch?" "I don't know, somewhere here; why do you ask?" "Because now I see through it. It's simply a plot against Yulia Mihailovna so as to ruin the day by a scandal...." Liputin looked at me askance again.
Let them know it once for all." "He won't shoot himself," Pyotr Stepanovitch thought anxiously. "Let whom know it?" he said, egging him on. "It's only you and me here; you mean Liputin?" "Let every one know; all will know. There is nothing secret that will not be made known. He said so." And he pointed with feverish enthusiasm to the image of the Saviour, before which a lamp was burning.
