"At last!" murmured Lizabetha Prokofievna indignantly. Lebedeff could restrain himself no longer; he made his way through the row of chairs.
Why should not Aglaya Ivanovna write a note to whomever she pleases? What did you mean to complain of today? What did you expect to get by it? What made you go at all?" "Pure amiable curiosity, I assure you desire to do a service. That's all. Now I'm entirely yours again, your slave; hang me if you like!" "Did you go before Lizabetha Prokofievna in your present condition?" inquired the prince.
Lizabetha Prokofievna, who disliked Varvara, although she had a great respect for her mother, was much annoyed by this sudden intimacy, and put it down to the general "contrariness" of her daughters, who were "always on the lookout for some new way of opposing her."

I must have you answer this question for mother's sake; she needs pacifying, and so do all the rest of the family!" "Look here, Aglaya " began the general. "This this is going beyond all limits!" said Lizabetha Prokofievna, suddenly alarmed.
I shall just tell Elizabetha Prokofievna about you, and if she wishes to receive you at once as I shall advise her I strongly recommend you to ingratiate yourself with her at the first opportunity, for my wife may be of the greatest service to you in many ways.

Wait a little, if you don't mind, and if you have time to spare?" "Oh, I assure you I've lots of time, my time is entirely my own!" And the prince immediately replaced his soft, round hat on the table.
"Let him go on reading at all costs!" ordered Lizabetha Prokofievna, evidently preserving her composure by a desperate effort. "Prince, if the reading is stopped, you and I will quarrel."

The prince took the first opportunity of informing the Epanchin ladies that he had intended to pay them a visit that day, if they had not themselves come this afternoon, and Lizabetha Prokofievna replied that she hoped he would still do so. By this time some of the visitors had disappeared. Ptitsin had tactfully retreated to Lebedeff's wing; and Gania soon followed him.
He was a great friend of the dignitary's, and Lizabetha Prokofievna, for some reason or other, had got hold of the idea that this worthy intended at no distant date to offer the advantages of his hand and heart to Alexandra. Besides the elevated and more solid individuals enumerated, there were present a few younger though not less elegant guests.
Princess Bielokonski, as she drove away on this eventful evening, took occasion to say to Lizabetha Prokofievna: "Well he's a good match and a bad one; and if you want my opinion, more bad than good. You can see for yourself the man is an invalid."
