Nevertheless, they felt that I was less English than the rest, and rather blamed me in their minds, I think, for being so. I don't know what it was that suddenly decided Markovitch to "make me part of his life." I certainly did not on my side make any advances. One evening he came to see me and stayed for hours. Then he came two or three times within the following fortnight.
Then she turned upon him, screaming, and in a moment they were at it, tooth and nail, heaping up old scores, producing fact after fact to prove, the one to the other, false friendship, lying manners, deceitful promises, perjured records. Vera tried to interrupt, Markovitch said something, I began a remonstrance in a moment we were all at it, and the room was a whirl of noise.
In the first place, there's Markovitch." "Yes. There's Markovitch," I agreed. "She doesn't care for him does she? You know that " He waited, eagerly staring into my face. I had a temptation to laugh. He was so very young, so very helpless, and yet that sense of his youth had pathos in it too, and I suddenly liked young Bohun for the first time.
Every holiday she has to go lately like it was coming to her." "Say, between you and me, I don't put it past her it's that Markovitch boy down there she's after. Ray Klein saw 'em on the boardwalk once together, and she says it's a shame for the people how they sat so close in a rolling-chair."
"I know I wanted to run like hell to Vera to see that she was safe. "But I didn't. I walked off as slowly as anything. It was awful. They'd been so good to me, and yet I wasn't thinking of Wilderling at all...." Markovitch on that same afternoon came back to the flat early.
What would he do with these people? What plans had he? What purpose? What secret, selfish ambitions was he out now to secure? Markovitch was silent, drinking his tea, watching his wife, watching us all with his nervous frowning expression. I rose to go and then, when I had said farewell to every one and went towards the door, Semyonov joined me. "Well, Ivan Andreievitch," he said.
"There is no ammunition," I remember crying desperately in Galicia. We had moved further than the question of ammunition now. I had a strange dream that night. I saw my old forest of two years before the very woods of Buchatch with the hot painted leaves, the purple slanting sunlight, the smell, the cries, the whirr of the shell. But in my dream the only inhabitant of that forest was Markovitch.
Most of the ladies were healthy, perspiring, and of a most amiable appearance. They might, many of them, have been the wives of English country clergymen, so domestic and unalarmed were they. I recognised two Markovitch aunts and a Semyonov cousin. There was a hush and a solemnity about the proceedings.
His door was not quite closed and he could hear first Vera, then Uncle Ivan, lastly Markovitch go to bed. He lay awake then, with that exaggerated sense of hearing that one has in the middle of the night, when one is compelled, as it were, against one's will, to listen for sounds. As he lay there he thought of what he would do did Markovitch really go off his head. He had a revolver, he knew.
I think they would be ideal under German rule, which is what they'll get if their Revolution lasts long enough... that's all." I saw that Markovitch wanted to reply, but he was trembling so that he could not. He said at last: "You leave me alone, Alexei; let me go my own way." "I have never tried to prevent you," said Semyonov. There was a moment's silence.
