In search of the rare and the novel in shivers, or universal impressions: sensuous, mental, and aesthetic, Maryan went once with the baron, and a second time alone, on a journey through Europe. He visited many countries and capitals. To investigate the Salvation Army, he joined its ranks for a period in England.
Maryan raised at his father a look from which a whole flood of irony rushed forth, and answered, with the edge of his lips: "He alone is not a child who knows that we are all children, turning everything into playthings for ourselves. The point is that there are various playthings." "Maryan!" whispered Malvina, with an alarm which she could not suppress.
"A golden fleece!" whispered Kranitski. He grew more and more gloomy, and felt in his right side a pain which was well-nigh unendurable. The tone in which the baron gave account of his journey in regions about his birthplace, roused almost instinctive disgust in Kranitski. He looked at Maryan. Was he the same also? After a while he asked: "Has the American project crystallized thoroughly?
Men of my time, and I, called a cat a cat, a rogue a rogue. If a Lili like yours put on the airs of an angel we said: 'Oh, she is a rogue! And we knew what to think of the matter. But this confounding of profane with sacred, of the rudest carnalism with a mystic tendency " The baron and Maryan laughed. "For you this is all Greek, and will remain Greek.
"I have grown so accustomed to you. You will have to suffer, and poor mamma, too. Where did he get all this? A man of such sense! I thought that his head was better ventilated " He could not finish, for Kranitski threw himself on his neck at the very door of his apartments. He wept. Drying his eyes with his perfumed cambric handkerchief, he said: "My Maryan, I shall not survive this blow!
Darvid, paying no attention to the interruption, continued: "The sum which you lost in betting at the last races was, even for my fortune, considerable thirty thousand." Maryan had now almost recovered his balance. "If this shrift is indispensable I will correct the figures thirty-six thousand." "The suppers which you give to friends, male and female, have the fame of Lucullus feasts."
Three years before Maryan Darvid, in company with, or more strictly under the protection of Kranitski, entered for the first time this dwelling, which had been recently furnished.
Even the baron did not see Darvid; he was searching for something in his pocketbook carefully, till he took out a ten-rouble note and threw it at the porters who had borne in the baggage and flowers of the primadonna. At the same time he cast these words through his teeth at them: "I have no small money!" Maryan, without rousing himself from thought, said, as if mechanically: "It is wonderful!"
But the onslaught came with such suddenness that those in the line of fire had no chance. The first sweep of the guns killed six and wounded three of the Americans. Death leaped through the bushes and claimed Corporal Murray Savage, Privates Maryan Dymowski, Ralph Weiler, Fred Wareing, William Wine and Carl Swanson.
"Arabian adventure!" muttered widow Clemens. "Maryan!" exclaimed Kranitski with delight, and he answered aloud: "I am at home, at home!" "An event worthy of record in universal history," answered the voice of a man speaking somewhat through his nose and teeth.
