Gusev whispered, a wink lurking in his eye. Nilovna came home in gay spirits. She had now seen for herself how people are moved by books. "The people down there are sorry they can't read," she said to Andrey, "and here am I who could when I was young, but have forgotten." "Learn over again, then," suggested the Little Russian. "At my age? What do you want to make fun of me for?"
It's been decided to publish it at once. Take it to Liudmila. Pavel spoke well, Nilovna; and his speech will play a part. Look out for spies, Sasha. Wait a little while hide these papers, too. You might give them to Ivan, for example."
We ought to get special people for the villages. People! We haven't enough nowhere. Life demands hundreds of hands!" "Now, if Pasha could be free and Andriusha," said the mother softly. Nikolay looked at her and drooped his head. "You see, Nilovna, it'll be hard for you to hear; but I'll say it, anyway I know Pavel well; he won't leave prison.
"Mikhail Ivanovich also always used to say, 'That's it! like an ax blow." "Nilovna, you're evidently tired. Permit me I " The peasant pulled his feet uneasily. "That'll do;" said the mother, rising. "Well, Ignaty, now wash yourself." The young man arose, shifted his feet about, and stepped firmly on the floor. "They seem like new feet. Thank you! Many, many thanks!"
The life of Nilovna flowed on with strange placidity. This calmness sometimes astonished her. There was her son immured in prison. She knew that a severe sentence awaited him, yet every time the idea of it came to her mind her thoughts strayed to Andrey, Fedya, and an endless series of other people she had never seen, but only heard of.
Marya lowered her eyes, and pleaded with the mother softly: "Well, what can be done? You have to submit, Pelagueya Nilovna." As she searched and felt the mother's dress, the blood mounting to her face, she murmured: "Oh, the dogs!" "What are you jabbering about there?" the officer cried rudely, looking into the corner where she was making the search.
Don't forget books if anything new and interesting appears. Well, good-by, dear comrade. Be more careful." "Do you think it's for long?" asked Sasha. "The devil knows them! Evidently. There's something against me. Nilovna, are you going with her? It's harder to track two people all right?" "I'm going."
With an unrestrained smile on her broad, wizened face, she continued: "You, Nilovna, don't be angry with me because I just now slapped you, when I said that your son is to blame. A dog can tell who's the more to blame, to tell you the truth. Look at the gendarmes and the spies, what they said about our Vasily! He has shown what he can do too!"
The mother smiled. These preparations did not disturb her; she had no premonition of a misfortune. The little physician walked in. He quickly said: "First of all, Nikolay is arrested. Aha! You here, Nilovna? They're interested in you, too. Weren't you there when he was arrested?" "He packed me off, and told me to come here." "Hm! I don't think it will be of any use to you.
And then I saw police officers looking at everybody closely. 'Well, thinks I to myself, 'with my face I'll arrive at God's judgment seat pretty soon. Suddenly Nilovna came running opposite me. I turned about, and off I went after her. That's all." "And I didn't even see you," said the mother guiltily. "The comrades are probably uneasy about me.
