To make fools of you, to make a fool of myself ... much fun there is in that! and as for irresponsibility ... M'sieu Voldemar, Zinaida added suddenly, stamping, 'don't make such a melancholy face. I can't endure people to pity me. She went quickly out of the room. 'It's bad for you, very bad for you, this atmosphere, young man, Lushin said to me once more.
You can have my share." The fellow gave a horse laugh and replied, "Well, you 're doing a great piece of work, Miss Hamilton, whenever you can keep old Bill from goin' out an' lushin' between acts. Say, you got a good thing; push it along." The girl's mother half rose, but she resumed her seat, for the man was going away.
"Drunk again," said Sadness. "Really, it 's a waste of time for Joe to sober up. Hullo there!" as the young man brought up against him; "take a seat." He put him in a chair at the table. "Been lushin' a bit, eh?" "Gi' me some'n' drink." "Oh, a hair of the dog. Some men shave their dogs clean, and then have hydrophobia. Here, Jack!"
'Is that a made-up story? Malevsky inquired slyly. Zinaida did not even look at him. 'And what should we have done, gentlemen? Lushin began suddenly, 'if we had been among the guests, and had known of the lucky fellow at the fountain? 'Stop a minute, stop a minute, interposed Zinaida, 'I will tell you myself what each of you would have done.
His pale blue eyes were twinkling. McGraw's heavy jowl fell slack. "Well, McGraw thought you wouldn't forget me this soon. What's the latest from Mr. Griffith?" "Jacksonville Holy saints! you've sure been lushin' some, Mr. Blake." "Looks like it; but as it happens I haven't. Tried to turn loose, but got switched. Instead of a spree, I've been on a bum tour of the Sunny South."
I hope you will be good friends. I was so confused that I did not even bow to any one; in Doctor Lushin I recognised the dark man who had so mercilessly put me to shame in the garden; the others were unknown to me. 'Count! continued Zinaida, 'write M'sieu Voldemar a ticket.
She sympathised with him, and at the same time jeered at him a little; she had no great faith in him, and after listening to his outpourings, she would make him read Pushkin, as she said, to clear the air. Lushin, the ironical doctor, so cynical in words, knew her better than any of them, and loved her more than all, though he abused her to her face and behind her back.
'He wants to show how good he is now, Lushin whispered to me. We soon broke up. A mood of reverie seemed to have come upon Zinaida; the old princess sent word that she had a headache; Nirmatsky began to complain of his rheumatism.... I could not for a long while get to sleep. I had been impressed by Zinaida's story.
Voldemar what we are about, Lushin began in a sarcastic voice, 'or else he will be quite lost. Do you see, young man, we are playing forfeits? the princess has to pay a forfeit, and the one who draws the lucky lot is to have the privilege of kissing her hand. Do you understand what I've told you?
'Oh, very well, remarked Lushin, 'caprice and irresponsibility.... Those two words sum you up; your whole nature's contained in those two words. Zinaida laughed nervously. 'You're late for the post, my dear doctor. You don't keep a good look-out; you're behind the times. Put on your spectacles. I'm in no capricious humour now.
