He flushed, lost control of himself, and seized both her hands. 'Whatever I am, I'm not for you. Why do you make fun of me? replied Maryanka, but her look showed how certainly she knew he was not making fun. 'Making fun? If you only knew how I The words sounded still more commonplace, they accorded still less with what he felt, but yet he continued, 'I don't know what I would not do for you
She gave me such a scolding the first time I went in. Maryanka burst out laughing. 'And so you were frightened? she said, and glanced at him and turned away. It was the first time Olenin had seen the whole of her beautiful face. Till then he had seen her with her kerchief covering her to the eyes. It was not for nothing that she was reckoned the beauty of the village.
She nudged Ustenka and smilingly pointed him out to her. 'I went yesterday and didn't find a single one, Olenin was saying as he looked about uneasily, not seeing Maryanka through the branches.
But Lukashka, without ceasing to sing, suddenly seized her firmly by the hand and pulled her from her place in the ring of girls into the middle. Olenin had only time to say, "Come to Ustenka's," and stepped back to his companion. The song came to an end. Lukashka wiped his lips, Maryanka did the same, and they kissed. "No, no, kisses five!" said Lukashka.
Besides, he had already achieved a triumph of self-sacrifice in connexion with her which had given him great pleasure, and above all he was in a way afraid of Maryanka and would not for anything have ventured to utter a word of love to her lightly.
It does not depend on me, but if you love me I'll tell you this. Let go my hands, I'll tell you without. I'll marry you, but you'll never get any nonsense from me, said Maryanka without turning her face. 'What, you'll marry me? Marriage does not depend on us.
'Go, my own, draw some for them, said Granny Ulitka to her daughter. 'Take it from the cask that's begun, my precious. The girl took the keys and a decanter and went out of the hut with Vanyusha. 'Tell me, who is that young woman? asked Olenin, pointing to Maryanka, who was passing the window. The old man winked and nudged the young man with his elbow.
'There's no lack of girls and I was sick of her anyway. 'Well, see what a devil you are! said Nazarka. 'You should make up to the cornet's girl, Maryanka. Why doesn't she walk out with any one? Lukashka frowned. 'What of Maryanka? They're all alike, said he. 'Well, you just try... 'What do you think? Are girls so scarce in the village?
Olenin expected that Lukishka would go to share his joy with Maryanka, but though he did not do so Olenin still felt his soul more at ease than ever before in his life. He was as delighted as a boy, and could not refrain from telling Vanyusha not only that he had given Lukashka the horse, but also why he had done it, as well as his new theory of happiness.
In this way I caught Vanyusha, Daddy Eroshka, Lukashka, and Maryanka. As Olenin was finishing this sentence Daddy Eroshka entered the room. Eroshka was in the happiest frame of mind. A few evenings before this, Olenin had gone to see him and had found him with a proud and happy face deftly skinning the carcass of a boar with a small knife in the yard.
