Excuse me, Lizabetha Prokofievna. They are coming, and you can see them, and then I will take them away. Please come in, gentlemen!" Another thought tormented him: He wondered was this an arranged business arranged to happen when he had guests in his house, and in anticipation of his humiliation rather than of his triumph?

"Do you hear, prince do you hear that?" said Lizabetha Prokofievna, turning towards him. There was laughter in the group around her, and Lebedeff stood before her gesticulating wildly. "He declares that your humbug of a landlord revised this gentleman's article the article that was read aloud just now in which you got such a charming dressing-down." The prince regarded Lebedeff with astonishment.

He sat stiff with wonder Lebedeff said some extraordinary things. In the first place he began about some letter; the name of Aglaya Ivanovna came in. Then suddenly he broke off and began to accuse the prince of something; he was apparently offended with him. "And who told Lizabetha Prokofievna something in secret, by letter?

THE occurrence at the Vauxhall had filled both mother and daughters with something like horror. In their excitement Lizabetha Prokofievna and the girls were nearly running all the way home.

They laughed together like a couple of school-girls. Hearing and seeing this, the prince smiled happily, and in accents of relief and joy, he exclaimed "Well, thank God thank God!" Alexandra now joined in, and it looked as though the three sisters were going to laugh on for ever. "They are insane," muttered Lizabetha Prokofievna. "Either they frighten one out of one's wits, or else "

He burst out laughing again, but it was the laughter of a madman. Lizabetha Prokofievna approached him anxiously and seized his arm. He stared at her for a moment, still laughing, but soon his face grew serious. "Do you know that I came here to see those trees?" pointing to the trees in the park. "It is not ridiculous, is it?

"And you will call on that atheist?" she continued, pointing to Hippolyte. "How dare you grin at me like that?" she shouted furiously, rushing at the invalid, whose mocking smile drove her to distraction. Exclamations arose on all sides. "Lizabetha Prokofievna! Lizabetha Prokofievna! Lizabetha Prokofievna!" "Mother, this is disgraceful!" cried Aglaya. Mrs.

Better stop this conversation, or we shall all be growing quite disturbed in our minds, and " "Let's go and hear the band, then," said Lizabetha Prokofievna, angrily rising from her place. The rest of the company followed her example. THE prince suddenly approached Evgenie Pavlovitch.

In reply to a very guarded question of her sisters', Aglaya had answered coldly, but exceedingly haughtily: "I have never given him my word at all, nor have I ever counted him as my future husband never in my life. He is just as little to me as all the rest." Lizabetha Prokofievna suddenly flared up. "I did not expect that of you, Aglaya," she said.

"He has acknowledged himself to be in the wrong. Don't you see that the greater his vanity, the more difficult this admission must have been on his part? Oh, what a little child you are, Lizabetha Prokofievna!" "Are you tempting me to box your ears for you, or what?" "Not at all. I am only proving that you are glad about the letter. Why conceal your real feelings? You always like to do it."
