Pashinsky thought over my proposition for a second, thinking was a strenuous effort for him. His obscene face wore a suffering and preoccupied expression; then he said: "I think you are right. We'll let Fost stay and watch the inner doors, and you and I will be alone in this side of the house. Then the men on the streets can't catch us, and we will be protected from the inside too...."
Is it true they are to take Father away? Now, I know you are a gentleman. What would you advise us to do? I think we are all lost." Pashinsky started to come back; then a Lett passed, so the voice stopped. Pashinsky came near me and said, "The Heir never cries when I tease him. Believe me, he is a hard kid. What do you think if I scare him more?" "Yes," I said, "a stubborn child."
Slowly, and hypnotising Pashinsky, he approached the scamp, took him by the collar and pulled him towards the fence. Then, losing his breath, Derevenko said, "Leave the boy alone, you scoundrel! You, you call yourself a Russian sailor? You? Have this...." and the slap on Pashinsky's face sounded to me like Chopin's First Nocturne. What divine music! I expected a clash. But no!
Now please let me go, and thank you, you strange man." I let him go. Pashinsky appeared and looked at me. "Are you getting tired of this muzzle, too? Isn't he a ...?" "Yes," I said, "I must watch him closer now. I think we had better watch him. You stay on the other side, and I'll be here near the windows. "All right," he said. "Then we can meet here.
Contemplating my scratchings, I went over to the window; somebody was patiently waiting and looking around, for the voice said: "I am so glad Derevenko slapped this awful man." "I am too, your Highness. Now there is a letter. I'll put it on the bayonette and stay still; you take it." Pashinsky passed near me talking with another Red. He felt badly I am sure, he did not look at me.
Nobody was near me, Pashinsky having gone for a drink of water into the quarters. I said without turning my head: "Decision taken to send only the Em. and Empress and the Heir. Daughters will stay here." Dr. Botkin did not stop. I fear for the ladies only." "You don't mean it! They double-crossed us! They assured us all would go. The scoundrels!
Go on, have your pleasure." "No, Pashinsky," I said, "that will not do. I must be with you. I have to protect you besides, you idiot; Fost can only see what is in the house, but supposing someone comes from down here? You think they will forget such an outrage to the Soviets? I will be with you somewhere behind, and when you call me I will come out. Hope you won't forget me."
Next day, it was about four, Pashinsky, who sticks near me thinking I am his best friend and admirer, punched me with his elbow and said: "Look, look. Who is coming." The Emperor, stooping and walking with tottering steps, was passing from the garden into the house. Dr. Botkin was with him. The Emperor's hands were clasped behind him, his eyes were staring downwards.
