The sun of my life is setting. And, perhaps, of yours as well?" Ookhtishchev made a comical, sly grimace and looked into Foma's face. And Foma stood before him, feeling that his head was lowering on his breast, and that he was unable to hinder it. "Yes, the radiant Aurora." "Is Medinskaya going away?" a deep bass voice asked. "That's fine! I am glad." "May I know why?" exclaimed Ookhtishchev.
"What about her?" exclaimed Foma, recalling his Pelageya, and for some reason or other his heart was filled with joy. "She sticks to him and bleeds him." "Is she a quiet one?" "She? Quiet as a fire. Seventy-five thousand roubles she blew out of his pocket like a feather!" "Oh! Who is she?" "Sonka Medinskaya, the architect's wife." "Great God!
"Ye-es, streams everywhere." Foma informed her, admiring his boots. "That's good. Spring is coming." "Now it won't be delayed long." "Spring is coming," repeated Medinskaya, softly, as if listening to the sounds of her words. "People will start to fall in love," said Foma, with a smile, and for some reason or other firmly rubbed his hands. "Are you preparing yourself?" asked Medinskaya, drily.
The Babylonian prostitute!" Mayakin's eyes were blinking, his lips were trembling, and in rude, cynical words he began to speak of Medinskaya, irritated, with a wrathful jar in his voice. Foma felt that the old man spoke the truth. He now began to breathe with difficulty and he felt that his mouth had a dry, bitter taste.
Medinskaya did not kindle in the youth any sensual passion, for there was nothing in her that resembled Pelageya, and altogether she was not at all like other women. He knew that shameful rumours about her were in the air, but he did not believe any of them.
By disparaging Medinskaya, Mayakin made her more accessible to his godson, and Foma soon understood this. A few days passed, and Foma's agitated feelings became calm, absorbed by the spring business cares. The sorrow for the loss of the individual deadened the spite he owed the woman, and the thought of the woman's accessibility increased his passion for her.
