Tanaroff, still smarting, made no reply. Sarudine, however, did not notice this, and slowly crossed the room, his eyes laughing as if at some secret recollection. His strong, healthy organism, enervated by the heat, was the more sensible to the influence of exciting thought. Suddenly he laughed, a short laugh; it was as if he had neighed. Then he stopped.
His hatred had vanished as swiftly as it had come. "Well, this is why. First of all, I have no wish to kill Sarudine, and secondly, I have even less desire to be killed myself." "But ..." began Tanaroff scornfully. "I won't, and there's an end of it!" said Sanine, as he rose. "Why, indeed? I don't feel inclined to give you any explanation. That were too much to expect, really!"
He went to the window and mechanically took out a cigarette, but uncertain if, while Sarudine lay there, he ought to smoke, he hurriedly thrust his cigarette-case into his pocket. "Shall I fetch the doctor?" asked the orderly, standing at attention, and unabashed by the rude answer that he had received. Tanaroff stretched out his fingers irresolutely.
Look what you've done to me, Andrei Pavlovitch!" cried Lida half peevishly, half coquettishly. "You've got my hair into such a tangle! Now I shall have to go indoors." "I'm so awfully sorry!" stammered Tanaroff, in confusion. Lida rose, gathered up her skirts, and ran indoors laughing, followed by the glances of all the men.
In the second place, I thoroughly dislike Sarudine, so that, under these circumstances, I don't see that there is any sense in my retractation." "Very well, then..." hissed Tanaroff through his teeth. Von Deitz stared in amazement, and his long face turned yellow. "In that case..." began Tanaroff, in a louder and would-be threatening tone.
Volochine, losing his pince-nez as he Stumbled over a bush, ran away as fast as he could across the damp grass, so that his spotless trousers instantly became black up to the knees. Tanaroff ground his teeth with fury, and also dashed forward, but Ivanoff caught him by the shoulders and pulled him back. "That's all right!" said Sanine scornfully. "Let him come."
Tanaroff stood still, but Sarudine had already guessed his intention, and the former knew that he had been detected in the act. Now something strange occurred. Sarudine shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Then I shall play the violin, and afterwards Sarudine might sing, accompanied by Tanaroff." "Oh! then, officers are to take part in the concert, are they?" asked Lialia mechanically, thinking all the while of something quite different. "Why, of course!" exclaimed Schafroff, with a wave of his hand. "Lida has only got to accept, and they'll all swarm round her like bees.
Lida frowned at Sanine, to whom her dark eyes plainly said: "Don't imagine that I cannot see what these people are. I intend to please myself. I am not a fool any more than you are, and I know what I am about." Sanine smiled at her. At last the hat was removed, which Tanaroff solemnly placed on the table. "Look!
"We mean to have a good look at that young lady of yours." Tanaroff seized him by the shoulders and forced him back into his chair. The others hurriedly resumed their places at the card-table, not looking at Sarudine. Sanine also sat down, but there was a certain seriousness in his smile.
