'It is terrible even to utter those words, they are so grand. At that instant Anna Vassilyevna came into the room, and the conversation stopped. Bersenyev was stirred by strange emotions when he returned home that evening.
They were all silent, as they walked through the garden, though Anna Vassilyevna sighed a little. But when they reached the carriages and stood still, they broke into an irrepressible, irresistible fit of Homeric laughter.
Her head was trembling with agitation. The solemnity of Nikolai Artemyevitch's preparations impressed her. She was expecting something extraordinary. 'What is it? she cried, directly the door was closed. Nikolai Artemyevitch flung an indifferent glance at Anna Vassilyevna.
Nikolai Artemyevitch used to hint at this fact in justification of his intimacy with Augustina Christianovna. She had never reproached him to his face, but she complained of him secretly to every one in the house in turn, even to her daughter. Anna Vassilyevna did not care for going out, she liked visitors to come and sit with her and talk to her; she collapsed at once when she was left alone.
"We meant nothing..." said the little man in confusion. "I beg your pardon. We pay with our money and the young lady with hers. Good-morning!" "Good-morning," answered the schoolmistress. "And we thank you most feelingly." Marya Vassilyevna drank her tea with satisfaction, and she, too, began turning red like the peasants, and fell to thinking again about firewood, about the watchman....
'Why, I said nothing Anna Vassilyevna was beginning. 'No, you said, ah! However that may be, I have thought it well to acquaint you with my way of thinking; and I venture to think I venture to hope Mr. Kurnatovsky will be received a bras ouverts. He is no Montenegrin vagrant. 'Of course; I need only call Vanka the cook and order a few extra dishes.
During the day the storm raged with fearful violence, and experienced seamen in Lloyd's offices shook their heads and prophesied no good. The Adriatic Sea between Venice, Trieste, and the Dalmatian coast is particularly dangerous. Three weeks after Elena's departure from Vienna, Anna Vassilyevna received the following letter in Moscow: 'My DEAR PARENTS. I am saying goodbye to you for ever.
Elena learnt this song from her.... Anna Vassilyevna overheard her singing it, and was very indignant. 'Where did you pick up such horrors? she asked her daughter. Elena only looked at her mother, and would not say a word; she felt that she would let them tear her to pieces sooner than betray her secret, and again there was a terror and sweetness in her heart.
Anna Vassilyevna Stahov her maiden name was Shubin had been left, at seven years old, an orphan and heiress of a pretty considerable property. She had very rich and also very poor relations; the poor relations were on her father's, the rich on her mother's side; the latter including the senator Volgin and the Princes Tchikurasov.
You had much better be getting a little present ready for Anna Vassilyevna, It's her birthday in a day or two, and you know how she appreciates the least attention on your part. 'Yes, yes, answered Nikolai Artemyevitch hastily. 'I'm much obliged to you for reminding me. Of course, of course; to be sure.
