Her name was mentioned with curiosity, respect, and envy, and at last came the news of her marriage to General Ratmirov. II Temptation Ten years had passed ten years during which much had happened to Litvinov. He had served in the Crimea, and, after almost dying of typhus, had been invalided home.
One of the young generals, Ratmirov by name, almost the most elegant of all, got up from his seat at the introduction, and bowed with a dandified air. Litvinov would have escaped, but Irina insisted on his sitting down. For a time he had to listen to the empty, meaningless talk of the company, hardly able to say a word to Irina. At last his clean plebeian pride revolted.
Once more she said, "Good-bye, forget me," and, without looking round, rushed away. As he left the hotel, like a man in a fog, he passed Ratmirov on the stairs. The general lifted his hat unnecessarily high, and wished him a very good day in a voice which was obviously ironical. He hardly responded to Ratmirov's bow, but rushed back to his lodgings.
