'I have been visiting a sick woman... And where have you come from, Mihailo Mihailitch? The man addressed as Mihailo Mihailitch looked into her eyes and smiled again. 'You do well, he said, 'to visit the sick, but wouldn't it be better for you to take her into the hospital? 'She is too weak; impossible to move her. 'But don't you intend to give up your hospital? 'Give it up? Why?
'A certain Lezhnyov, Mihailo Mihailitch, a landowner here. Rudin seemed astonished; he raised his head. 'Lezhnyov Mihailo Mihailitch? he questioned. 'Is he a neighbour of yours? 'Yes. Do you know him? Rudin did not speak for a minute. 'I used to know him long ago. He is a rich man, I suppose? he added, pulling the fringe on his chair.
Bassistoff, in his enthusiasm, almost cracked his glass and drained it off at a draught. Alexandra Pavlovna pressed Lezhnyov's hand. 'Why, Mihailo Mihailitch, I did not suspect you were an orator, remarked Pigasov; 'it was equal to Mr. Rudin himself; even I was moved by it. 'I am not at all an orator, replied Lezhnyov, not without annoyance, 'but to move you, I fancy, would be difficult.
That's no great harm either! It's better anyway than 'Well, we shall see what you will say when you do get nicely burnt one day, Mihailo Mihailitch interrupted her in a tone of vexation and made a cut at the horse with the reins, 'Good-bye. 'Mihailo Mihailitch, stop a minute! cried Alexandra Pavlovna, 'when are you coming to see us? 'To-morrow; my greetings to your brother.
And indeed, after all, fine speaking is pardonable in a boy, but at his years it is disgraceful to take pleasure in the sound of his own voice, and to show off! 'I think, Mihailo Mihailitch, it's all the same for those who hear him, whether he is showing off or not. 'Excuse me, Alexandra Pavlovna, it is not all the same.
He had grown noticeably greyer since we parted from him, and was bent and thin, and he lisped when he spoke; one of his front teeth had gone; and this lisp gave still greater asperity to his words.... His spitefulness had not decreased with years, but his sallies were less lively, and he more frequently repeated himself. Mihailo Mihailitch was not at home; they were expecting him in to tea.
'Mihailo Mihailitch! began Alexandra Pavlovna, 'I don't understand; you are laughing at me, I think.... 'No indeed! I tell you he is going away, and he even let his friends know by letter. It's just as well, I daresay, from one point of view; but his departure has prevented one surprising enterprise from being carried out that I had begun to talk to your brother about. 'What do you mean?
Alexandra Pavlovna tried to keep Lezhnyov, but he went quickly away, and going into the garden without his cap, he leaned on a little gate and began looking about him. 'Mihailo Mihailitch! sounded the voice of a maid-servant behind him, 'please come in to my lady. She sent me to call you.
The point is, that Rudin's words seem to remain mere words, and never to pass into deeds and meanwhile even words may trouble a young heart, may be the ruin of it. 'But whom do you mean, Mihailo Mihailitch? Lezhnyov paused. 'Do you want to know whom I mean, Natalya Alexyevna? Alexandra Pavlovna was taken aback for a moment, but she began to smile the instant after.
'I am an old friend of her brother's. 'Her brother's! However, I never wish to force any one.... But pardon me, Mihailo Mihailitch, I am older than you, and I may be allowed to give you advice; what charm do you find in such an unsociable way of living? Or is my house in particular displeasing to you? You dislike me? 'I don't know you, Darya Mihailovna, and so I can't dislike you.
