His head was turned, and he decided that he really ought to get married." "Well, at that point you ought to have taken away his goloshes and umbrella," said Ivan Ivanovitch. "Only fancy! that turned out to be impossible. He put Varinka's portrait on his table, kept coming to see me and talking about Varinka, and home life, saying marriage was a serious step.
And in all probability in the end he would have proposed to her, and would have made one of those unnecessary, stupid marriages such as are made by thousands among us from being bored and having nothing to do, if it had not been for a kolossalische scandal.

As for Varinka's father, with his home-made boots and his kind smile, so like her own, I felt a sort of tenderness for him that was almost rapture. "After supper I danced the promised quadrille with her, and though I had been infinitely happy before, I grew still happier every moment. "We did not speak of love. I neither asked myself nor her whether she loved me.
