But of this interesting peculiarity of Russian intellectual life, in the years 1840 to 1860, I will speak more fully when analysing another of Turgenev's novels in which this contrast is most conspicuous. I will say nothing of the minor characters of the story before us: Lezhnyov, Pigasov, Madame Lasunsky, Pandalevsky, who are all excellent examples of what may be called miniature-painting.
Pandalevsky drew a gold and enamel watch out of his waistcoat pocket, and looked at it carefully, bending his rosy cheek over his stiff, white collar. 'Thirty-three minutes past two, he announced. 'It is time to dress, observed Darya Mihailovna. 'Good-bye for the present, Dmitri Nikolaitch! Rudin got up. The whole conversation between him and Darya Mihailovna had a special character.
'Granting he is clever, he is a genius! she said, 'what does that prove? Why, any one may hope to be my son-in-law after that? 'For a long time I could not believe my eyes. put in Pandalevsky. 'I am surprised at his not understanding his position! Darya Mihailovna was very much agitated, and Natalya suffered for it She asked Rudin to sit down.
He straightened his tall figure, shook back his locks, and walked quickly into the garden, with a happy gesture of his hands. Meanwhile the bushes of the lilac arbour moved apart, and Pandalevsky appeared. He looked around warily, shook his head, pursed up his mouth, and said, significantly, 'So that's how it is. That must be brought to Darya Mihailovna's knowledge. And he vanished.
Without waiting for the end of Rudin's long speech, he quietly took his hat and as he went out whispered viciously to Pandalevsky who was standing near the door: 'No! Fools are more to my taste. No one, however, tried to detain him or even noticed his absence. The servants brought in supper, and half an hour later, all had taken leave and separated.
After dinner Darya Mihailovna repeated once more that she hoped to see him before they left for Moscow, but Rudin made her no reply. Pandalevsky addressed him more frequently than any one. More than once Rudin felt a longing to fall upon him and give him a slap on his rosy, blooming face. Mlle.
