'That's just what's wrong, Nikander Vavilitch, that she is, as you say, all tremor. If you love any one you don't feel tremors in their presence. 'But with that I can't agree! Here am I, for instance; no one, I suppose, could love Paramon Semyonitch more than I, but I ... tremble before him. 'Oh, you that's a different matter. 'How is it a different matter? how? how? interrupted Punin.
Musa made no reply.... A hungry, savage mewing was heard from the attic. Musa started. 'Ah, it is a good thing Nikander Vavilitch did not see all this! she moaned almost despairingly.
One must be thankful to get that! I, too, am trying to earn something by copying and lessons; only my efforts have so far not been crowned with success. I dare say you, too, do not honour the old divinities, and fall down before new idols? 'And you, Nikander Vavilitch, do you really still esteem Heraskov? Punin stood still and waved both hands at once.
The latter, in his turn, wheeled round facing her and, imagine my amazement, I recognised him as Punin! Yes, it was he; there were his inflamed eyes, his full lips, his soft, overhanging nose. He had, in fact, changed little during the last seven years; his face was a little flabbier, perhaps. 'Nikander Vavilitch! I cried. 'Don't you know me? Punin started, opened his mouth, stared at me....
They say a mass of people have been arrested in the town. You can fancy how I feel. It is well Nikander Vavilitch did not live to see it! He was taken just in time. Advise me what I am to do. For myself I am not afraid I shall not die of starvation but the thought of Paramon Semyonitch gives me no rest. Come, please, if only you are not afraid to visit people in our position. Yours faithfully,
Punin, Nikander Vavilitch, at this moment, is not at home, truly, Baburin responded deliberately; 'but allow me to make an observation, young man: it's not the proper thing to come into another person's room like this, without asking leave. I! ... young man! ... how dared he! ... I grew crimson with fury.
His half-closed eyes were looking at me, blinking slowly; they expressed a senseless terror, the terror of a frightened hare, and his arms hung at his sides like sticks. 'Nikander Vavilitch! what is the matter with you? How did you come here? Did no one see you? What has happened? Do speak! 'She has run away, Punin articulated in a hoarse, hardly audible voice. 'What do you say?
I looked at him.... His face seemed familiar.... He too turned his eyes upon me.... Merciful heavens! it was Baburin! I took off my hat, went up to him, mentioned my name, and walked along beside him. 'Whom are you burying? I asked. 'Nikander Vavilitch Punin, he answered. I felt, I knew beforehand, that he would utter that name, and yet it set my heart aching.
