There was the sound of hurrying footsteps, and Arkady came on to the terrace. 'We have made friends, dad! he cried, with an expression of a kind of affectionate and good-natured triumph on his face. 'Fedosya Nikolaevna is not quite well to-day really, and she will come a little later. But why didn't you tell me I had a brother? I should have kissed him last night, as I have kissed him just now.
He was taciturn, however, seemed very self-possessed and made no efforts to gain friends. Many of us said later that he was by no means clever; but this was not altogether just. I won't attempt to describe the beauty of Lizaveta Nikolaevna. The whole town was talking of it, though some of our ladies and young girls indignantly differed on the subject.
'Hey! cried Shubin suddenly in a low voice, 'Zoya Nikitishna is on the lookout, it seems. I will go to her. Elena Nikolaevna despises me now, while you, Andrei Petrovitch, she esteems, which comes to the same thing. I am going; I'm tired of being glum.
My dear father consecrated me to this work... I shall never forget his last words.... 'Your father died last winter? 'Yes, Elena Nikolaevna, in February. 'They say, Elena went on, 'that he left a remarkable work in manuscript; is it true? 'Yes. He was a wonderful man. You would have loved him, Elena Nikolaevna. 'I am sure I should. And what was the subject of the work?
The audience got up from their seats and went out very slowly, and Laptev could not go away without telling his wife. He had to stand at the door and wait. "I'm dying for some tea," Polina Nikolaevna said plaintively. "My very soul is parched." "You can get something to drink here," said Laptev. "Let's go to the buffet." "Oh, I've no money to fling away on waiters. I'm not a shopkeeper."
Sasha, the maid, had brought in the samovar and placed it at the head of the long table. Marie Nikolaevna, our hostess, poured out the tea. Her husband was playing Vindt with his daughter, the doctor, and his son-in-law in another corner of the room.
'What makes you suppose, she observed after a brief silence, 'that no woman ever loved your friend? 'Because I know it, know it for a fact. Sophia Nikolaevna seemed about to say something, but she stopped. She seemed to be struggling with herself.
I say, Nikolaevna, isn't he here yet? 'No. He was still lying on his bed and could not get up, but was always waiting. And this waiting was uncanny and yet joyful. Then suddenly his joy was completed. He whom he was expecting came; not Ivan Matveich the police-officer, but someone else yet it was he whom he had been waiting for.
Your husband knows my estate. You can consult him I would take a very moderate price. Maria Nikolaevna tossed her head from left to right.
'Oh, a Frenchman, there are lots of them here ... He's dancing attendance on me too. It's time for our coffee, though. Let's go home; you must be hungry by this time, I should say. My better half must have got his eye-peeps open by now. 'Better half! Eye-peeps! Sanin repeated to himself ... 'And speaks French so well ... what a strange creature! Maria Nikolaevna was not mistaken.
