They retraced their steps, but as Sina walked on in front of Yourii the sight of her round, firm hips again brought sensuous thoughts to his mind that he found it hard to ignore. "I say, Sina Karsavina!" His voice faltered. "I am going to ask you an interesting psychological question. How was it that you did not feel afraid to come here with me?
What a pity, though, for that poor girl Rosario, so modest and unassuming and never saying a word, who took her sewing down to the beach with Roseta, and was always timidly asking whether siñá Tona had had any word from Tonet.
So powerful was this impression, that even the very part of the room where Dubova stood appeared full of sunshine, while her own corner was steeped in gloom. Sina remembered how she had always thought herself purer and more beautiful than her friend, and the change that had come caused her intense anguish.
The latter seemed gay, talkative and perfectly sober. He looked at Yourii in a strange manner, half-friendly and half-derisive. Then his thoughts turned to the scene in the wood with Sina. "It would have been base of me if I had taken advantage of her weakness," he said to himself. "Yet what shall I do now? Possess her, and then cast her off? No, I could never do that; I'm too kind-hearted.
Athens contains a considerable number of houses, most of which are, however, small and unimportant; the beautiful country-houses, on the contrary, surrounded by tasty gardens, have a very agreeable appearance. The small observatory was built by Baron Sina, the well-known banker in Vienna, who is by birth a Greek.
I cannot say how I should have behaved in Sanine's place. Of course, duelling's stupid, and to fight with fists is not much better." "But what is a man to do if he's compelled to fight?" said Sina. Yourii shrugged his shoulders. "It's for Soloveitchik that we ought to be sorry," said Riasantzeff, after a pause. The words contrasted strangely with his cheerful countenance.
Is suicide a cowardly act? Then I suppose that I am a coward!" The contact of cold steel on his heated brow was at once pleasant and alarming. "What about Sina?" he asked himself. "Ah! well, I shall never get her, and so I leave to some one else this enjoyment." The thought of Sina awoke tender memories, which he strove to repress as sentimental folly. "Why should I not do it?"
Even the fish of the sea were supposed to be possessed and unusually savage in this month. May is often an unhealthy month, being the time of transition from the wet season to the dry, and hence the crushing sickness and superstitious vagaries. Called also on one island Sina, or white, from the worship of a goddess of that name there.
"If you like, I will row you across to the other side. Why should you go all that way round?" "Oh! no, please don't trouble," said Sina, feeling strangely shy. "Yes, let him row you across," said little Grischka persuasively, "for there's such a lot of mud on the bank." "Very well, then. You can go back to your mother." "Aren't you afraid to cross the fields alone?" asked the boy.
His passion subsided, and he felt suddenly solaced. "What a good little girl!" he thought, sincerely touched by such frank, simple modesty. Proud of her reply, and gratified by his silent approval, Sina smiled at him, as they returned to the entrance of the cavern. Meanwhile she kept wondering why his question had not seemed offensive or shameful to her, but, on the contrary, quite agreeable.
