In front went Elena and Zoya with Insarov; Anna Vassilyevna, with an expression of perfect happiness on her face, walked behind them, leaning on the arm of Uvar Ivanovitch. He waddled along panting, his new straw hat cut his forehead, and his feet twinged in his boots, but he was content; Shubin and Bersenyev brought up the rear.
Marya Vassilyevna was still thinking about the school, wondering whether the arithmetic questions at the examination would be difficult or easy. And she felt annoyed with the Zemstvo board at which she had found no one the day before. How unbusiness-like!
He walked into the drawing-room in his overcoat and hat, with long deliberate stride, stamping with his heels; he approached the looking-glass and took a long look at himself, shaking his head and biting his lips with imperturbable severity. Anna Vassilyevna began questioning him about the progress of his cure; he made her no reply.
Zoya came in; Elena decided that she had never seen a more charming little face; Anna Vassilyevna came in; Elena felt a pang but with what tenderness she embraced her mother and kissed her on the forehead near the hair, already slightly grey! Then she went away to her own room; how everything smiled upon her there!
Insarov escorted him to the door with cordial good manners, not common in Russia; and, when he was left alone, carefully took off his coat, and set to work upon sorting his papers. On the evening of the same day, Anna Vassilyevna was sitting in her drawing-room and was on the verge of weeping.
Either you will end your days there in a tent somewhere' Anna Vassilyevna pictured Bulgaria as something after the nature of the Siberian swamps, 'or I shall not survive the separation 'Don't say that, mamma dearest, we shall see each other again, please God. There are towns in Bulgaria just as there are here. 'Fine towns there, indeed!
Tatyana Vassilyevna God rest her soul! did not allow anyone to marry. "God forbid!" she said sometimes, "here am I living single: what indulgence! What are they thinking of!" 'What do you live on now? Do you get wages? 'Wages, your honour!... Victuals are given me, and thanks be to Thee, Lord! I am very contented. May God give our lady long life! Yermolai returned.
And no one thought her attractive, and life was passing drearily, without affection, without friendly sympathy, without interesting acquaintances. How awful it would have been in her position if she had fallen in love! "Hold on, Vassilyevna!" Again a sharp ascent uphill....
Anna Vassilyevna had hardly sent her farewell greeting to Tsaritsino, when suddenly, a few paces from her, behind a high bush of lilac, were heard confused exclamations, shouts, and laughter; and a whole mob of disorderly men, the same devotees of song who had so energetically applauded Zoya, burst out on the path. These musical gentlemen seemed excessively elevated.
'I know you have always looked on me as an "immoral" man, began Nikolai Artemyevitch suddenly. 'I! muttered Anna Vassilyevna, astounded. 'And very likely you are right. 'And I make no complaint against you, Nikolai Artemyevitch. 'C'est possible. In any case, I have no intention of justifying myself. Time will justify me.
