"Then, you had rather that it were complicated and obscure?" asked Sanine. Von Deitz shrugged his shoulders, lost in thought. Leaving the boulevard behind them, they passed along the dreary streets lying outside the town, though they were better lighted than the boulevard.
Turgenieff's Fathers and Sons is recalled more than once, especially the character of Bazarov, the nihilist. Furthermore, when this student fails to reap the benefit of a good girl's love, Sanine steps in and ruins her. Even incest is hinted at.
She became giddy; everything swam before her eyes, and she no longer knew if she were in the water or on the river-bank. Sanine had just time to seize her firmly and drag her backwards, secretly pleased at his own strength and adroitness. "There!" he said. He placed her in a sitting posture against the hedge, and then looked about him. "What shall I do with her?" he thought.
"Why, it's Sanine," said Riasantzeff, in astonishment. "How did he get here?" They approached the fire. Grey-bearded Kousma, seated beside it, looked up, and nodded to welcome them. "Any luck?" he asked, in his deep bass voice, through a drooping moustache. "Just a bit," replied Riasantzeff. Sanine, sitting on a huge pumpkin, also raised his head and smiled at them.
"A feeble sort of chap, and yet he goes and shoots himself all in a moment, like that!" "It's my belief," replied Sanine, "that three seconds before the pistol went off he was uncertain whether to shoot himself or not. As he lived, so he died." "Ah! well," said the other, "at any rate, he's found a place for himself."
She was going to tell you herself, but, after all, it comes to the same thing." "What!" exclaimed Maria Ivanovna, drawing herself up. "Lida is going to be married!" "To whom?" "To Novikoff, of course." "Yes, but what about Sarudine?" "Oh! he can go to the devil!" exclaimed Sanine angrily. "What's that to do with you? Why meddle with other people's affairs?"
In short ..." "Oh! That'll do!" replied Sanine, drawing back in disgust from Von Deitz, from whose mouth saliva spurted. "Think what you like; I don't care. And tell Sarudine that he is an ass!" "You've no right, sir, I say, you've no right," shouted Von Deitz. "Very good, very good," said Tanaroff, quite satisfied "Let us go." "No!" cried the other, plaintively, as he waved his lanky arms.
On reaching the boulevard he heard, at a distance, some one running along and sobbing as if in great distress. Sanine stood still. Out of the gloom a figure emerged, and rapidly approached him. Again Sanine felt a sinister presentiment. "What's the matter?" he called out. The figure stopped for a moment, and Sanine was confronted by a soldier whose dull face showed great distress.
When the house behind them had disappeared from view and the silent, motionless trees, like thoughtful witnesses, surrounded them, Sanine suddenly put his arm round Lida's waist and said in a strange tone, half fierce, half tender: "You've become quite a beauty! The first man you love will be a happy fellow."
Sanine frowned, and shrugged his shoulders irritably, thinking how intolerable to Semenoff, if he heard it, such wailing must be when to healthy normal men it was so utterly depressing. "Not so loud!" he said to the priest irritably. The latter amiably bent forward to hear this remark, and, when he understood it, he frowned and only sang louder.
