And I may mention, by the way, her engagement to Mavriky Nikolaevitch was by now an established fact. To a playful question from a retired general of much consequence, of whom we shall have more to say later, Lizaveta Nikolaevna frankly replied that evening that she was engaged. And only imagine, not one of our ladies would believe in her engagement.
'You certainly don't understand me, I said, hastily getting up; 'and so allow me, instead of verbal explanation, to send you something ... 'But what is it? she inquired. 'Don't be alarmed, Sophia Nikolaevna, it's nothing to do with me. I bowed, and went back to my room, took out the little silken bag I had taken off Pasinkov, and sent it to Sophia Nikolaevna with the following note
'Are you acquainted? asked Maria Nikolaevna who had not failed to notice Sanin's embarrassment. 'Yes ... I have already had the honour, said Doenhof, and bending a little aside, in an undertone he added to Maria Nikolaevna, with a smile, 'The very man ... your compatriot ... the Russian ...
He felt awkward at last; he was silent a second time. 'Dimitri Pavlovitch' began Maria Nikolaevna, and sank into thought again.... 'Dimitri Pavlovitch, she repeated.... 'Do you know what: I am sure the purchase of your estate will be a very profitable transaction for me, and that we shall come to terms; but you must give me two days.... Yes, two days' grace.
The play lasted over an hour longer, but Maria Nikolaevna and Sanin soon gave up looking at the stage. A conversation sprang up between them again, and went on the same lines as before; only this time Sanin was less silent. Inwardly he was angry with himself and with Maria Nikolaevna; he tried to prove to her all the inconsistency of her 'theory, as though she cared for theories!
"A-a-a..." said Crutch, wondering as he listened to Lipa. "A-a!... We-ell! "I am very fond of jam, Ilya Makaritch," said Lipa. "I sit down in my little corner and drink tea and eat jam. Or I drink it with Varvara Nikolaevna, and she tells some story full of feeling. We have a lot of jam four jars. 'Have some, Lipa; eat as much as you like." "A-a-a, four jars!" "They live very well.
'Where are you going in such a hurry, Fedosya Nikolaevna? he began; 'are you busy? ... I have to pour out tea. 'Dunyasha will do that without you; sit a little while with a poor invalid. By the way, I must have a little talk with you. Fenitchka sat down on the edge of an easy-chair, without speaking.
Bersenyev told her of Insarov's intention. Elena turned white. 'What does it mean? she articulated with effort 'You know, observed Bersenyev, 'Dmitri Nikanorovitch does not care to give reasons for his actions. But I think... let us sit down, Elena Nikolaevna, you don't seem very well.... I fancy I can guess what is the real cause of this sudden departure.
A merry laugh rang out after him, and in the looking-glass which he was passing at that instant, the following scene was reflected: Maria Nikolaevna had pulled her husband's fez over his eyes, and he was helplessly struggling with both hands. Oh, what a deep sigh of delight Sanin heaved, when he found himself in his room!
In the first letter, Marya Nikolaevna wrote that his brother had sent her away for no fault of hers, and, with touching simplicity, added that though she was in want again, she asked for nothing, and wished for nothing, but was only tormented by the thought that Nikolay Dmitrievitch would come to grief without her, owing to the weak state of his health, and begged his brother to look after him.
