Fraulein Berta, the governess of Sonya's younger sister, made censorious remarks about barbarous Russia. All the acquaintances of the Svetilovitches were also indignant. But their indignation assumed only platonic forms. Perhaps it was impossible for it to have been otherwise. To be sure, all the more or less independent people in town paid the Svetilovitches visits of sympathy.
But, dear Kirsha, you are very inquisitive you look in everywhere, even where you shouldn't." "My eyes see, and my ears hear," replied Kirsha, "is that my fault?" In the pleasant, well-appointed drawing-room of the Svetilovitches, in the lifeless light of three electric globes with lustrous bronze fittings, the green-blue upholsterings of the Empire furniture seemed illusively beautiful.
On the next day there was much talk in town about the search at the Svetilovitches, the consumed beer, and especially about the lost cap. Not a little was said in the newspapers about the beer and the cap. One newspaper in St. Petersburg devoted a very heated article to the stolen cap. The author of the article made very broad generalizations.
As Trirodov was preparing to leave his house that evening and was putting on a coloured tie, Kirsha said to him with his usual gravity: "I should not go to the Svetilovitches' to-night if I were you. It would be much wiser to remain at home." Trirodov, not all astonished by this unexpected advice, smiled and asked: "Why shouldn't I go?"
