Shamohin sat on deck with me, brooding and silent. When the bell rang for tea, men with their coat-collars turned up and ladies with pale, sleepy faces began going below; a young and very beautiful lady, the one who had been so angry with the Customs officers at Volotchisk, stopped before Shamohin and said with the expression of a naughty, fretful child: "Jean, your birdie's been sea-sick."
That is incontestable." I asked: "Why generalise? Why judge of all women from Ariadne alone? The very struggle of women for education and sexual equality, which I look upon as a struggle for justice, precludes any hypothesis of a retrograde movement." But Shamohin scarcely listened to me and he smiled distrustfully.
Of course, all attraction is over; there is no trace left of my old love, but, however that may be, I am bound in honour to marry her. Shamohin, excited by his story, went below with me and we continued talking about women. It was late. It appeared that he and I were in the same cabin. "So far it is only in the village that woman has not fallen behind man," said Shamohin.
It does not bore you to go on with this conversation? "No, not in the least." "In that case, allow me to introduce myself," said my companion, rising from his seat a little: "Ivan Ilyitch Shamohin, a Moscow landowner of a sort. . . . You I know very well."
And in our dissatisfaction and disappointment there is nothing left for us but to grumble and talk about what we've been so cruelly deceived in." While Shamohin was talking I noticed that the Russian language and our Russian surroundings gave him great pleasure. This was probably because he had been very homesick abroad.
She pressed my hand with great warmth, and looking at me ecstatically, thanked me in honeyed cadences for the pleasure I had given her by my writings. "Don't you believe her," Shamohin whispered to me, "she has never read a word of them." When I was walking on the sea-front in the early evening Shamohin met me with his arms full of big parcels of fruits and dainties.
