At the door was heard a rustle and Liudmila's voice. "They sit in the darkness and whisper. Where is the knob?" The room trembled and suddenly became filled with a white, unfriendly light. In the middle of the room stood Liudmila, all black, tall, straight, and serious. Yegor transferred his glance to her, and making a great effort to move his body, raised his hand to his breast.
The hostess, with a book in her hand, lay on the sofa, and smiling unlike herself looked into her face. "Oh, father!" the mother exclaimed, for some reason embarrassed. "Just look! Have I been asleep a long time?" "Good morning!" answered Liudmila. "It'll soon be ten o'clock. Get up and we'll have tea." "Why didn't you wake me up?" "I wanted to.
Nobody comes to me for any other reason." Something strange seemed to be in Liudmila's voice. The mother looked in her face. Liudmila smiled with the corners of her thin lips, her dull eyes gleamed behind her glasses. Turning her glance aside, the mother handed her the speech of Pavel. "Here. They ask you to print it at once." And she began to tell of Nikolay's preparations for the arrest.
No revolutionist can adhere closely to an individual walk through life side by side with another individual without distorting his faith; and we must never forget that our aim is not little conquests, but only complete victory!" His voice became firm, his face paled, and his eyes kindled with the force that characterized him. The bell sounded again. It was Liudmila.
The earth has brought it forth; and all life desires its victory all life. Shed rivers of blood, nay, seas of blood, you'll never extinguish it." She shook herself away from Liudmila, fatigued by her exaltation, and sat down, breathing heavily. Liudmila also withdrew from her, noiselessly, carefully, as if afraid of destroying something.
"Lately he's been reading a great deal to the city workingmen; and in general it was time for him to disappear," Liudmila said with a frown. "The comrades told him to go, but he didn't obey them. I think that in such cases you must compel and not try to persuade." A dark-haired, red-faced boy with beautiful eyes and a hooked nose appeared in the doorway.
The three stood motionless at the window, looking silently into the darkness. The mother felt herself not needed, and carefully freeing her hand, went to the door, bowing to Yegor. "Are you going?" the physician asked softly without looking around. "Yes." In the street she thought with pity of Liudmila, remembering her scant tears. She couldn't even have a good cry.
Nikolay answered somberly: "From everywhere come complaints of not enough literature, and we still cannot get a good printing establishment. Liudmila is wearing herself out. She'll get sick if we don't see that she gets assistance." "And Vyesovshchikov?" asked Sofya. "He cannot live in the city. He won't be able to go to work until he can enter the new printing establishment.
The mother felt that Liudmila chilled her joy by her restraint; and the stubborn desire suddenly arose in her to pour into that obstinate soul enveloped in misery her own fire, to burn her, too, let her, too, sound in unison with her own heart full of joy. She took Liudmila's hands and pressed them powerfully.
The stillness in the room soon calmed the mother, and noticing Liudmila's mood she asked guiltily and softly: "Maybe I said something that wasn't quite right?" Liudmila quickly turned around and looked at her as if in fright. "It's all right," she said rapidly, stretching out her hand to the mother as if desiring to arrest something. "But we'll not speak about it any more.
