The day after tomorrow I will give you a final answer," he said, after considering a moment. Stepan Arkadyevitch was about to go away when Korney came in to announce: "Sergey Alexyevitch!" "Who's Sergey Alexyevitch?" Stepan Arkadyevitch was beginning, but he remembered immediately. "Ah, Seryozha!" he said aloud. "Sergey Alexyevitch! I thought it was the director of a department.
At that time Uncle Seryozha, Prince Leonid Dmitryevitch Urusof, Vice-Governor of the Province of Tula; Uncle Sasha Behrs and his young wife, the handsome Georgian Patty; and the whole family of the Kuzminskys, were staying at Yasnaya. Aunt Tanya was asked to sing. We listened with beating hearts, and waited to hear what Turgenieff, the famous connoisseur, would say about her singing.
"Together we will take care of Seryozha. Practical affairs are not my strong point. But I will set to work. I will be your housekeeper. Don't thank me. I do it not from myself..." "I cannot help thanking you." "But, dear friend, do not give way to the feeling of which you spoke being ashamed of what is the Christian's highest glory: he who humbles himself shall be exalted. And you cannot thank me.
I'm the only one, and it was hard for me even. His eyes I ought to know Seryozha has just the same eyes and I can't bear to see them because of it. Has Seryozha had his dinner? I know everyone will forget him. He would not forget. Seryozha must be moved into the corner room, and Mariette must be asked to sleep with him."
Bad people, that is those Seryozha did not like, they might die, but the good might all be like Enoch. "Well, what are the names of the patriarchs?" "Enoch, Enos " "But you have said that already. This is bad, Seryozha, very bad. If you don't try to learn what is more necessary than anything for a Christian," said his father, getting up, "whatever can interest you?
"But why have they all agreed to speak just in the same manner always the dreariest and most useless stuff? Why does he keep me off; why doesn't he love me?" he asked himself mournfully, and could not think of an answer. After the lesson with the grammar teacher came his father's lesson. While waiting for his father, Seryozha sat at the table playing with a penknife, and fell to dreaming.
By the way, Yevgeny Petrovitch, I should like to ask you to speak to Seryozha. To-day, and the day before yesterday, I have noticed that he is smoking. When I began to expostulate with him, he put his fingers in his ears as usual, and sang loudly to drown my voice."
Then he glanced at Werner's untouched bread and said: "Why don't you eat? Eat. We must brace up." "I don't feel like eating." "Then I'll eat it. May I?" "You have a fine appetite, Seryozha." Instead of answering, Sergey, his mouth full, began to sing in a dull voice, out of tune: "Hostile whirlwinds are blowing over us..."
"I must get ready. To go where? When? Whom to take with me? Yes, to Moscow by the evening train. Annushka and Seryozha, and only the most necessary things. But first I must write to them both." She went quickly indoors into her boudoir, sat down at the table, and wrote to her husband: "After what has happened, I cannot remain any longer in your house. I am going away, and taking my son with me.
"Yes, that must be a serious matter," said Stepan Arkadyevitch, watching with mournful interest the eager eyes, like his mother's; not childish now no longer fully innocent. And though he had promised Alexey Alexandrovitch not to speak of Anna, he could not restrain himself. "Do you remember your mother?" he asked suddenly. "No, I don't," Seryozha said quickly.
