"It's of no consequence, though. . . . I shall go home, and everything will go on as before . . . ." It was the same thing in Petersburg too; for whole days together he did not leave the hotel room, but lay on the sofa and only got up to drink beer. Mihail Averyanitch was all haste to get to Warsaw. "My dear man, what should I go there for?" said Andrey Yefimitch in an imploring voice.
Daryushka would come out of the kitchen and with an expression of blank dejection would stand in the doorway to listen, with her face propped on her fist. "Eh!" Mihail Averyanitch would sigh. "To expect intelligence of this generation!" And he would describe how wholesome, entertaining, and interesting life had been in the past.
You know," Levin turned to his brother, "Mihail Semyonovitch is writing a work on the digestive organs of the..." "Now, make a muddle of it! It doesn't matter what about. And the fact is, I certainly do love cuttlefish." "But that's no hindrance to your loving your wife." "The cuttlefish is no hindrance. The wife is the hindrance." "Why so?" "Oh, you'll see!
She went down to him. "We didn't catch the count. The count had driven off on the lower city road." "What do you say? What!..." she said to the rosy, good-humored Mihail, as he handed her back her note. "Why, then, he has never received it!" she thought. "Go with this note to Countess Vronskaya's place, you know? and bring an answer back immediately," she said to the messenger.
Again she recalled what the young peasant woman had said, and again she was revolted at the thought; but she could not help admitting that there was a grain of brutal truth in the words. "Is it far now, Mihail?" Darya Alexandrovna asked the counting house clerk, to turn her mind from thoughts that were frightening her. "From this village, they say, it's five miles."
Pyotr Ilyitch got up, and announced that he was going straight to the police captain, to tell him all about it, and leave him to do what he thought fit. “Oh, he’s an excellent man, excellent! Mihail Makarovitch, I know him. Of course, he’s the person to go to. How practical you are, Pyotr Ilyitch! How well you’ve thought of everything! I should never have thought of it in your place!”
"Stupid people! Foolish people! I don't want either your friendship or your medicines, stupid man! Vulgar! Nasty!" Hobotov and Mihail Averyanitch, looking at each other in bewilderment, staggered to the door and went out. Andrey Yefimitch snatched up the bottle of bromide and flung it after them; the bottle broke with a crash on the door-frame.
It was the assistant prosecutor going up to the table to take some papers. "Mihail Vladimirovitch," said the assistant prosecutor, bending down to the president's ear, "amazingly slovenly the way that Koreisky conducted the investigation. The prisoner's brother was not examined, the village elder was not examined, there's no making anything out of his description of the hut. . . ."
A herd of deer, extraordinarily beautiful and graceful, of which he had been reading the day before, ran by him; then a peasant woman stretched out her hand to him with a registered letter . . . . Mihail Averyanitch said something, then it all vanished, and Andrey Yefimitch sank into oblivion for ever. The hospital porters came, took him by his arms and legs, and carried him away to the chapel.
