My own father it was that planted the trees which have grown them." Then, turning upon me a keen, good-humoured eye, and chuckling, he added: "What about that Nadezhda? Ah, she is a clever woman indeed! Yet I have a surprise in store for her and her lover." "Why should you have?"
They were so painfully in love with the dream of liberation! Some of the instructresses from Trirodov's colony were also here, among them the sad Nadezhda and the ecstatic Maria. There were quite a number of schoolboys and schoolgirls present. These tried to act at ease, to show that it was not their first occasion of the sort. There were also many college students, both men and women.
To you the world has been wearisome, so, while devising this revolt as a resource, you have excused it on the ground of service of God and love of equity, while in reality constituting yourself the devil's workman." Here Nadezhda plucked at my sleeve, and tried to pull me away, but I remarked: "I MUST learn what Gubin has got to say in answer."
I am the Nadezhda Ivanovna for whom she will inquire. Do you understand?" From the well, at this point, there issued the words: "Who is that speaking?" "It is the mistress," I replied. "What? Nadezhda? With her I have a bone to pick." "What did he say?" the woman asked tensely as she raised her dark, thinly pencilled brows, and made as though to go and lean over the well.
Elisaveta thought that she had heard the name somewhere in town perhaps a tale in connexion with it, she could not remember exactly what. For some reason she did not mention this to Nadezhda. Perhaps it was a tragic history. This fear of talking about the past occasionally came upon Elisaveta.
From morning till evening he always hears the same jerky cry: "Some water, boy!" But one morning his mother, the cook Nadezhda, tells the barber that her master and mistress have told her to take Petka to the country for a few days. Then begins for him an enchanted existence. He goes in bathing four times a day, fishes, goes on long walks, climbs trees, rolls in the grass.
Elisaveta replied: "A white boy opened the gate for us. He ran off so quickly that we had not even the time to thank him." Nadezhda suddenly ceased smiling. "Oh yes he isn't one of us," she said falteringly. "They live over there with Trirodov. There are several of them. Wouldn't you like to have lunch with us?" she asked, cutting short her previous remarks.
And, indeed, he had hardly spoken before Gubin led out a fat roan pony, and Jonah pulled from a shelter a light buggy or britchka. Meanwhile Nadezhda called from the veranda to Jonah: "Do you first go in and dress yourself!"
The visitors entered and found themselves in a small glade. Three barefoot girls slowly came to meet them. These were instructresses. Nadezhda Vestchezerova looked with her large dark eyes at Madame Doulebova, who whispered to the Vice-Governor: "Have a look at her. This girl had a scandal in her life, but he's taken her on."
"Enough, enough!" said the voice. "Only through lack of occupation have you joined the company of the righteous." Upon this I made a move to approach closer to the window; whereupon Nadezhda whispered: "Whither are you going? You must not listen." While she was yet speaking I heard come from the window: "Similarly your revolt against mankind has come of idleness, of lack of an interest in life.
