"Why not include the whole town! But I will take on myself to assure Vera Vassilievna that your answer will be literally carried out. Farewell." "Farewell ... Sir Knight." Tushin frowned slightly, touched his cap, and was gone. Mark's face was very pale.
But since you make the generous offer yourself, I am delighted, and thank you with all my heart. No one can help me as you do, because no one else loves me as you do." "You spoil me, Vera Vassilievna, when you talk like that. But it is true; you read my very soul." "Will it not be hard for you to see him." "No, I shan't faint," he smiled.
Before Tatiana Markovna could answer Vikentev burst in, covered with dust and perspiration, carrying music and a book which he laid on the table by Marfinka. "Give me your hand, Marfa Vassilievna," he cried, wiping his forehead. "How I did run, with the dogs after me!" Marfinka hid her hand, bowed, and returned with dignity: "Je vous remercie, monsieur Vikentev, vous etes bien amiable."
She has guessed my secret and shares my feelings, he thought, and what she is asking, is for a frank, brief avowal. "You are so noble, so beautiful, Vera Vassilievna, so pure...." An exclamation was wrung from her, and she would have risen, but could not. "You mock me, you mock me," she said, raising her hands beseechingly. "You are ill, Vera Vassilievna," he said, looking at her in terror.
"How can I say it to you now, Vera Vassilievna?" said Tushin springing to his feet. "Do not make me suffer," she murmured. "I love you...." "Yes, I know it," she interrupted. "But what have you heard?" "I have heard nothing," he said, looking round in amazement. He was now for the first time aware of her agitation, and his heart stood still with delight.
MY father was forty-eight when he took as his second wife Avdotia Vassilievna Epifanov. I suspect that when, that spring, he had departed for the country with the girls, he had been in that communicatively happy, sociable mood in which gamblers usually find themselves who have retired from play after winning large stakes.
He came gladly, plainly delighted that the illness which threatened Vera Vassilievna had blown over, and bringing with him a water melon of extraordinary size and a pineapple for a present. But a glance at his old friend was enough to make him change colour.
"Don't leave me in the dark, Vera Vassilievna. You must have had some reason for confiding your secret to me." "You looked at me so strangely to-day that I could not understand your meaning, and thought you must already be informed of all that had happened and could not rest until I knew what was in your mind.
Marfinka whispered to Vikentev that he did know, and had gone out on that account. "I will go, Marfa Vassilievna, and hide behind a bush, imitate Boris Pavlovich's voice and make her a declaration," suggested Vikentev. "Stay here, Nikolai Andreevich. Paulina Karpovna might be frightened and faint. Then you would have to reckon with Grandmother."
When Raisky called him he came towards him with slow steps. "Tell Marina to let me know when Vera Vassilievna is dressed." "Marina is not here." "Where is she?" "She started at dawn to accompany the young lady over the Volga." "What young lady, Vera Vassilievna?" "Yes." "How did they go, and with whom?" "In the brichka, with the dun horse. They will return in the evening," he added.
