He has sold another horse, said Olenin, and glanced towards the oven. A pair of large, dark, and hostile eyes glittered as they gazed severely at him. He became ashamed of what he had said. 'What of it? He does no one any harm, suddenly remarked Maryanka. 'He makes merry with his own money, and lowering her legs she jumped down from the oven and went out banging the door.
'So you are going, said Lukashka sternly, and, pressing her close, he kissed her on the cheek. 'There, leave off! Don't bother, and Maryanka, wrenching herself from his arms, moved away. 'Ah my girl, it will turn out badly, said Lukashka reproachfully and stood still, shaking his head. 'Thou wilt weep because of me... and turning away from her he shouted to the other girls: 'Now then!
They are all such irregular people, he remarked, as he wrapped himself in his overcoat and took his seat on the box. 'Hold your tongue, swine! exclaimed the old man, laughing. 'What a stingy fellow! Maryanka came out of the cowshed, glanced indifferently at the cart, bowed and went towards the hut. 'LA FILLE! said Vanyusha, with a wink, and burst out into a silly laugh.
It was quite true that Olenin had been walking about the yard when Maryanka entered the gate, and had heard her say, 'That devil, our lodger, is walking about. He had spent that evening with Daddy Eroshka in the porch of his new lodging.
I'll take you. 'Well, good-bye! Christ save you. Lukashka mounted his horse, and without calling on Maryanka, rode caracoling down the street, where Nazarka was already awaiting him. 'I say, shan't we call round? asked Nazarka, winking in the direction of Yamka's house. 'That's a good one! said Lukashka. 'Here, take my horse to her and if I don't come soon give him some hay.
Olenin could only see a knee, and one of her shapely legs hanging down from the oven. He treated the old woman to tea. She treated her guest to clotted cream which she sent Maryanka to fetch. But having put a plateful on the table Maryanka again sprang on the oven from whence Olenin felt her eyes upon him. They talked about household matters.
With a white kerchief tied round her head down to her eyes, a coat over her smock, and wearing high boots, Maryanka with a long switch in her hand was dragging the oxen by a cord tied to their horns. 'Mammy, said the old man, pretending that he was going to seize her. Maryanka flourished her switch at him and glanced merrily at them both with her beautiful eyes.
He who is happy is right, flashed through Olenin's mind, and with a strength unexpected to himself he seized and kissed the beautiful Maryanka on her temple and her cheek. Maryanka was not angry, but only burst into a loud laugh and ran out to the other girls. That was the end of the party. Ustenka's mother, returned from her work, gave all the girls a scolding, and turned them all out.
'And Maryanka too? Olenin stooped towards Maryanka. 'You'll come? Please do, if only for a minute. I must speak to you. 'If the other girls come, I will. 'Will you answer my question? said he, bending towards her. 'You are in good spirits to-day. She had already moved past him. He went after her. 'Will you answer? 'Answer what?
'No really ... what I wanted to say to you, ... whispered Lukashka. 'By the Heavens! Do come! Maryanka shook her head, but did so with a smile. 'Nursey Maryanka! Hallo Nursey! Mammy is calling! Supper time! shouted Maryanka's little brother, running towards the group. 'I'm coming, replied the girl. 'Go, my dear, go alone I'll come in a minute. Lukashka rose and raised his cap.
