A match strikes, and the bubbling sound of a pipe being lighted is heard. A red gleam appears, throwing a glow over the big face of Sergei; and then, as the light dies down he is lost in the darkness. "Mitia!" he cries. His voice is now less brutal and more mocking.
Sergei shouted in reply to the master with all his strength, and cursed him at the same time under his breath. The two voices broke through and filled the silence of the night. Then they seemed to meet in one deep note like the sound of a great horn. Once more rising to shrillness, they floated in the air, gradually sank away and were lost. Silence reigned once more.
My friend honestly believed that the existence of this conspiracy had never been known or suspected prior to the publication of the work of the mysterious Sergei Nilus.
The two Princes Shadursky, father and son, both lost heavily. They sat opposite Sergei Kovroff, and between them sat Baroness von Doring, who played in alliance with them.
"I hear," answered Mitia in a stifled voice, without looking toward the spot which Sergei pointed to through the darkness, where the form of Mitia's father could be seen. "I hear," mocked Sergei, laughing ironically. "You poor half-baked creature! A pleasant state of things indeed!" he continued, encouraged by the apathy of Mitia. "And what a devil that old man is!
Excuse me, I can neither regard you as a friend, nor will I give you my hand.... That is petty, perhaps, but I am only a petty person. Rudin took his hat from the window seat. 'Sergei Pavlitch! he said sorrowfully, 'goodbye; I was mistaken in my expectations. Reflecting upon it all, I see indeed, you are right, you could not have behaved otherwise.
"Yes, I told her to go," answers Mitia simply. "And she told you you were a fool?" queried Sergei, raising his voice. "Yes, she insulted me." "And she was right, my friend; yes, indeed, she was right! You deserve a proper hammering." And Sergei, changing suddenly his tone, continued with severity and authority: "Have you any right to go against the law? But you did go against it!
I have here now a specimen of these young fanatics, who hesitate at nothing and who fear nothing.... They are admirable, ... believers without God and heroes without phrase!" He who called forth this eulogy was the young Russian revolutionist, Sergei Nechayeff. Whether admirable or not we shall leave the reader to judge. But, if Bakounin bewilders one, Nechayeff staggers one.
Pigasov smiled ironically. A footman came in and announced the arrival of Alexandra Pavlovna and her brother. Darya Mihailovna rose to meet her guests. 'How do you do, Alexandrine? she began, going up to her, 'how good of you to come!... How are you, Sergei Pavlitch? Volintsev shook hands with Darya Mihailovna and went up to Natalya Alexyevna.
The reputed author of the book was one Prof. Sergei Nilus, concerning whom we have no absolutely reliable information. Author of a book which has made an enormous sensation in many lands and become the subject of furious controversy, he is quite unknown. No responsible person in or out of Russia has ever positively identified Nilus, so far as I have been able to discover.
