"Alexandr Daviditch," said Laevsky, standing up, "though I did appeal to you to help me in a private matter, it did not follow that I released you from the obligation of discretion and respect for other people's private affairs." "What's this?" asked Samoylenko, in astonishment.
I can't understand how a doctor can be without money!" "Lord have mercy on us!" Samoylenko whispered rapidly and intensely, and there was positively a breaking note in his throat. "I've been stripped of everything; I am owed seven thousand, and I'm in debt all round. Is it my fault?" "Then you'll get it by Saturday? Yes?" "I'll try." "I implore you, my dear fellow!
Send our friend, a proud intellectual man, to penal servitude!" "Well, if he is proud and tries to resist, put him in fetters!" Samoylenko could not utter a word, and only twiddled his fingers; the deacon looked at his flabbergasted and really absurd face, and laughed. "Let us leave off talking of that," said the zoologist.
The boatmen were by now below, holding the boat, which was beating against the piles, though the breakwater screened it from the breakers. Von Koren went down the ladder, jumped into the boat, and sat at the helm. "Write!" Samoylenko shouted to him. "Take care of yourself." "No one knows the real truth," thought Laevsky, turning up the collar of his coat and thrusting his hands into his sleeves.
But the fact that Laevsky had once been a student in the Faculty of Arts, subscribed to two fat reviews, often talked so cleverly that only a few people understood him, was living with a well-educated woman all this Samoylenko did not understand, and he liked this and respected Laevsky, thinking him superior to himself. "There is another point," said Laevsky, shaking his head.
Ivan Andreitch Laevsky, a thin, fair young man of twenty-eight, wearing the cap of a clerk in the Ministry of Finance and with slippers on his feet, coming down to bathe, found a number of acquaintances on the beach, and among them his friend Samoylenko, the army doctor.
Keep away from the filth; don't stir it up with both hands!" Samoylenko thought for a minute and said resolutely: "But I shall give him the money all the same. As you please. I can't bring myself to refuse a man simply on an assumption." "Very fine, too. You can kiss him if you like." "Give me the hundred roubles, then," Samoylenko asked timidly. "I won't." A silence followed.
Only Samoylenko and the orderly could distinguish the dim lights on the sea. The others gazed into the darkness and saw nothing. The steamer had stopped a long way from the coast. "Make haste, make haste," Von Koren hurried them. "I am afraid it will set off."
Listen, Alexandr Daviditch; when you meet a simple peasant woman, who isn't living with her husband, who does nothing but giggle, you tell her to go and work. Why are you timid in this case and afraid to tell the truth? Simply because Nadyezhda Fyodorovna is kept, not by a sailor, but by an official." "What am I to do with her?" said Samoylenko, getting angry. "Beat her or what?
"If you don't give me an interview to-day, I shall take measures, I assure you on my word of honour. You can't treat decent people like this; you must understand that." That was from Kirilin. Laevsky received two notes; he opened one and read: "Don't go away, my darling." "Who could have written that?" he thought. "Not Samoylenko, of course.
