I had learned that he was addicted to drink and to gambling, had ruined himself, and was generally misconducting himself. His wife was spoken of with respect.... In some excitement I went back to my room. The passion, that had long long ago grown cold, began as it were to stir within my heart, and it throbbed. I resolved to go and see Sophia Nikolaevna.
'I never should have expected, I retorted, 'that you, Sophia Nikolaevna, would have deigned to notice a man who ... Sophia turned with a rapid movement to me; I instinctively stepped back a little from her; her eyes, always half closed, were so wide open that they looked immense, and they glittered wrathfully under her frowning brows.
Anna Vassilyevna blew her nose tearfully. Nikolai Artemyevitch thrust his fingers between his coat-buttons. 'I sent for you, Elena Nikolaevna, he began after a protracted silence, 'in order to have an explanation with you, or rather in order to ask you for an explanation.
Maria Nikolaevna gave a soft low laugh, and shaking her head tossed back the hair that was falling on her cheeks. 'Decidedly he's delightful, she commented half pensively, half carelessly. 'A perfect knight! After that, there's no believing in the people who maintain that the race of idealists is extinct!
Do you know, Myakov has promised me a place there, and I'm going into the service. Now I'm going to arrange my life quite differently," he went on. "You know I got rid of that woman." "Marya Nikolaevna? Why, what for?" "Oh, she was a horrid woman! She caused me all sorts of worries." But he did not say what the annoyances were.
He led her to the sofa, and made her sit down. She looked into his face, then her eyes ran over him from head to foot, then stared at the floor. 'Will he die? she asked so coldly and quietly that Bersenyev was frightened. 'For God's sake, Elena Nikolaevna, he began, 'what are you saying? He is ill certainly and rather seriously but we will save him; I promise you that.
"I don't vouch for the truth of it, but the town is ringing with the story that it was she brought them together." "What do you mean? Brought whom together?" "What, do you mean to say you don't know?" he exclaimed with well-simulated wonder. "Why Stavrogin and Lizaveta Nikolaevna." "What? How?" we all cried out at once. "Is it possible you don't know? Phew!
Maria Nikolaevna had hardly uttered this last word when the outer door actually was half opened, and into the box was thrust a head red, oily, perspiring, still young, but toothless; with sleek long hair, a pendent nose, huge ears like a bat's, with gold spectacles on inquisitive dull eyes, and a pince-nez over the spectacles.
'And yours? 'Dimitri. 'And your father's? 'Pavlovitch. 'Do you know, Maria Nikolaevna said, still in the same drawling voice, 'I like you very much, Dimitri Pavlovitch. You must be an excellent fellow. Give me your hand. Let us be friends. She pressed his hand tightly in her beautiful, white, strong fingers.
Sanin looked in the direction she pointed. 'Yes, I believe it is an inn. 'Well, that's first-rate. I'll tell him to stop at that inn and drink beer till we come back. 'But what will he think? 'What does it matter to us? Besides, he won't think at all; he'll drink beer that's all. When they reached the inn, Maria Nikolaevna called the groom up and told him what she wished of him.
