"I know, I know, what you want to ask," said Piotr Andreitch; "don't fret yourself, she shall stay with us, and I will forgive Vanka for her sake." With an effort Anna Pavlovna took her husband's hand and pressed it to her lips. The same evening she breathed her last. Piotr Andreitch kept his word.
"Perhaps," said Piotr, "but Elisaveta's choice revolts me." "Why should it?" asked Rameyev. "For many reasons," replied Piotr. "For one thing, he presented her with a photograph of his dead wife, a naked beauty. Why? Is it right to make universal that which is intimate?
