Emilie was on her knees close beside him; the expression of her face struck him as queer. She jumped up at once, walked away to the window and put something away in her pocket. Kuzma Vassilyevitch stretched. "I've had a good long snooze, it seems!" he observed, yawning. "Come here, meine zusse Fraulein!" Emilie went up to him.
I will sing to you.... Will you?" She took up the guitar. "You sing, then?" asked Kuzma Vassilyevitch, putting a spoonful of really excellent sorbet into his mouth. "Oh, yes!"
On left, Hospital. Villagers, male and female, sitting on the hospital steps. "Excuse me," Pavel Vassilyevitch broke in, "how many acts are there?" "Five," answered the lady, and at once, as though fearing her audience might escape her, she went on rapidly. VALENTIN is looking out of the schoolhouse window. In the background Villagers can be seen taking their goods to the Inn.
Another week passed. Kuzma Vassilyevitch was so much better that the doctors found it possible to tell him what had happened to him. This is what he learned.
She can read and write; in their business it's of use. I suppose he liked her. 'And have you known her long? 'Yes. I used to go to her master's. Their house isn't far from here. 'And do you know the footman Petrushka? 'Piotr Vassilyevitch? Of course, I knew him. 'Where is he now? 'He was sent for a soldier. We were silent for a while. 'She doesn't seem well? I asked Yermolai at last.
The girl answered in German, too; the gate opened a very little, admitted the girl and then was slammed almost in the face of Kuzma Vassilyevitch who had time, however, to make out in the summer twilight the outline of a stout, elderly woman in a red dress with a dimly burning lantern in her hand.
The dark face began gradually smiling. There was a sudden gleam of white teeth, the little head was raised, and lightly flinging back the curls, displayed itself in all its startling and delicate beauty. "What little imp is this?" thought Kuzma Vassilyevitch, and, advancing still closer, he brought out in a low voice: "Hey, little image! Who are you?"
"To be sure . . . er er er What can I do for you?" I must tell you I have perpetrated a play, my first-born pardon pour l'expression! and before sending it to the Censor I should like above all things to have your opinion on it." Nervously, with the flutter of a captured bird, the lady fumbled in her skirt and drew out a fat manuscript. Pavel Vassilyevitch liked no articles but his own.
Arina Vlasyevna first prayed to her heart's content, then she had a long, long conversation with Anfisushka, who stood stock-still before her mistress, and fixing her solitary eye upon her, communicated in a mysterious whisper all her observations and conjectures in regard to Yevgeny Vassilyevitch.
Kuzma Vassilyevitch was forced at last to admit to himself that he had not only failed to win the respect of the ladies from Riga, but had even failed to gain their confidence: he was never admitted at once, without preliminary scrutinising; he was often kept waiting; sometimes he was sent away without the slightest ceremony and when they wanted to conceal something from him they would converse in German in his presence.
