In a moment Sarudine's life had undergone a complete change. Careless, easy, and gay as it had been before, so now it seemed to him distorted, dire, and unendurable. The laughing mask had fallen; the hideous face of a monster was revealed. Tanaroff had taken him home in a droschky. On the way he exaggerated his pain and weakness so as not to have to open his eyes.
Better wait until he goes to sleep." Another quarter of an hour passed, and Sarudine appeared to be restless. To Tanaroff such suspense was intolerable. At last the sufferer lay motionless. "Aha! he's asleep," thought Tanaroff, inwardly pleased. "Yes, I'm sure that he is." He moved cautiously across the room so that the jingling of his spurs was scarcely audible. Suddenly Sarudine opened his eyes.
A trifle like that!" he muttered, shrugging his shoulders. "It is not a question of trifles," continued Sarudine, bitterly, "it is the principle of the thing. May I ask what right you ..." "I ..." stammered Tanaroff. "Pray don't explain," said Sarudine, in the same cutting tone. "I must beg you not to take such a liberty again." Tanaroff's lips quivered.
"That is your affair," he said, in an unmistakably contemptuous tone, "but I must warn you that ..." Sanine laughed. "Yes, yes, I know, but I advise Sarudine not to ..." "Not to what?" asked Tanaroff, as he picked up his cap from the window-sill. "I advise him not to touch me, or else I'll give him such a thrashing that ..." "Look here!" cried Von Deitz, in a fury.
