The young wife laughed within herself, and replied: "The day after to-morrow, my dear child, on the anniversary of your name-day, you shall know it." And nothing more would she disclose. She invited Bertalda and sent an invitation to her foster-parents, to dine with them on the appointed day, and soon after they parted.
I went to Svobodin's name-day party with her yesterday. She sang gipsy songs, and created such a sensation that all the great men kissed her hand. Rumours have reached me that Lidia Stahievna is going to be married par depit. Is it true? Tell her that I shall carry her off from her husband par depit. I am a violent man. Has not anything been collected for the benefit of the Sahalin schools?
"So you have begun already!" he says, looking sternly at the old man. "What are you rejoicing at? Is it your name-day or what?" "Don't you dare teach your father." "Fine goings on!" When he has not to follow his father along the other vans Yasha sits on the cape and strums on the accordion.
"It is a miracle," said Moidel, "how Martin, who was so weak and consumed away by his accident, should thus have recovered." "What accident?" asked we. "Why, does not the Herrschaft know how last November, on his very name-day, Martin was nearly killed?
I am just going to dress, but must not omit the chief thing of all, and the principal object of my letter, to wish you, my very dearest and kindest father, every possible good on this your name-day. I also entreat the continuance of your fatherly love, and assure you of my entire obedience to your wishes.
On the morning of the peasant's name-day his brother, the merchant in the town, put on his best clothes, and his plump wife dressed in all her richest, and they got into their cart a fine cart it was too, painted in the brightest colours and off they drove together to the house of the brother who had once been poor.
When one remembers that all those objects were standing in the same places and precisely in the same order when I was a little child, and used to come here to name-day parties with my mother, it is simply unbelievable that they could ever cease to exist. I thought what a fearful difference between Butyga and me!
The Pope of Rome charges me to congratulate you on your name-day and wish you as much money as he has rooms. He has eleven thousand! Strolling about the Vatican I was nearly dead with exhaustion, and when I got home I felt that my legs were made of cotton-wool. I am dining at the table d'hote.
Beside the waggonette stood a brake in which my mother and sisters were sitting to drive to a name-day party at the Ivanetskys'. No one was left in the house but Zinotchka, me, and my eldest brother, a student, who had toothache. You can imagine my envy and my boredom. "'Well, what do we breathe in? asked Zinotchka, looking at the window. "'Oxygen. . . "'Yes.
Yet there were persons present who were beyond all suspicion. For instance, a major in the service, a near relation of Virginsky, a perfectly innocent person who had not been invited but had come of himself for the name-day celebration, so that it was impossible not to receive him.
