But your father’s a drunken and abandoned old sinner, who can never draw the line—if they both let themselves go, they’ll both come to grief.” “No, Misha, no. If that’s all, you’ve reassured me. It won’t come to that.” “But why are you trembling? That’s the very definition and inner essence of him. It’s your father has handed him on his low sensuality.
Here he broke down finally into sobs. I tried to soothe him, and succeeded so far that when we reached home Misha had long been lost in a heavy sleep, with his head on my knees. He was at once assigned a room for himself, and at once, first thing, taken to the bath, which was absolutely essential.
On the fifth day the feeling of compassion in the ladies began to be replaced by other emotions uneasiness and even alarm. Misha was so strange, he held aloof from people, and kept moving along close to the walls, as though trying to steal by unnoticed, and suddenly looking round as though some one had called him. And what had become of his rosy colour? It seemed covered over by a layer of earth.
People were being hanged at the nearest gallows and the prisoners had to walk past the hanged ones to the gallows beyond. Misha was being hanged, but he broke loose. He was hanged again, and again he broke loose. This happened an endless number of times, and each time he broke loose. She could see a furious face and the grey bristles of trimmed moustaches.
These theological students were celebrating their graduation examination, and had invited Mísha, as a charming fellow, "a man with a sigh," as it was called then. They drank a great deal; and when, at last, the merry crew were preparing to depart, Mísha, dead drunk, was found to be already in a state of unconsciousness.
Twelve beggars, with wallets on their shoulders, were walking by twos, singing and skipping as they went, -and at their head danced Mísha, stamping time with his feet and saying: "Natchiki-tchikaldi, tchuk-tchuk-tchuk! Natchiki-tchikaldi, tchuk-tchuk-tchuk!" As soon as my calash came on a level with him, and he caught sight of me, he immediately began to shout, "Hurrah! Halt, draw up in line!
Third the strangest to get the Tsar's family out. "All of this news would have been much fuller if only we could decipher some of this," and Misha took out of his pocket and presented me with this strange slip of paper....
"We all are busy these days," she said, when I asked her whether she came here from England just for curiosity to see all of us under the Provisional Government. "You did not change at all." Misha, who did not know B. before, did not like her very much, in fact, they all think she is suspicious. Aren't these youngsters peculiar? Especially Misha who is so grouchy lately all seems dangerous to him.
"And dost thou invite Timoféi also?" "But why ... well, I invite him also." Mísha reflected. "Only look out ... for thou didst turn me out of doors.... Don't think thou art going to get off with one bottle!" "Do not worry ... there will be as much as you wish of everything."
But, in the first place, I knew that he was always very polite to ladies; and, in the second place, I trusted to his promise to reform. And, as a matter of fact, during the early days of his sojourn under my roof Mísha not only justified my expectations, but exceeded them; and he simply enchanted my ladies.
