"You are concealing something from me," she exclaimed. "Do you, Natalia Victorovna, believe in the duty of revenge?" "Listen, Kirylo Sidorovitch. I believe that the future shall be merciful to us all. Revolutionist and reactionary, victim and executioner, betrayer and betrayed, they shall all be pitied together when the light breaks on our black sky at last.
"How is it, Natalia Victorovna, that you have kept aloof so long, from what after all is let disparaging tongues say what they like a unique centre of intellectual freedom and of effort to shape a high conception of our future? In the case of your honoured mother I understand in a measure. At her age new ideas new faces are not perhaps.... But you! Was it mistrust or indifference?
Rovinskaya no longer risked asking "How did you come to this life?" But it must be said, that the inmates of the house met her with an outward hospitality. Ellena Victorovna asked them to sing their usual canonical songs, and they willingly sang: Monday now is come again, They're supposed to get me out; Doctor Krassov won't let me out, Well, the devil take him then.
"I have waited for you anxiously. But now that you have been moved to come to us in your kindness, you alarm me. You speak obscurely. It seems as if you were keeping back something from me." "Tell me, Natalia Victorovna," he was heard at last in a strange unringing voice, "whom did you see in that place?" She was startled, and as if deceived in her expectations. "Where?
One evening it began, most unseasonably, to snow, and the wind blew from the north, exactly as if winter had begun again. When I got home from work I found Maria Victorovna in my room. She was in her furs with her hands in her muff.

The doctor and Maria Victorovna drank red wine, champagne, and coffee with cognac; they touched glasses and drank to friendship, to wit, to progress, to freedom, and never got drunk, but went rather red and laughed for no reason until they cried. To avoid being out of it I, too, drank red wine.
You must come out of your reserve. We Russians have no right to be reserved with each other. In our circumstances it is almost a crime against humanity. The luxury of private grief is not for us. Nowadays the devil is not combated by prayers and fasting. And what is fasting after all but starvation. You must not starve yourself, Natalia Victorovna. Strength is what we want.
On the way to Yamskaya Street Rovinskaya said to Chaplinsky: "You'll bring me at first into the most luxurious place, then into a medium one, and then into the filthiest." "My dear Ellena Victorovna," warmly retorted Chaplinsky, "I'm ready to do everything for you.
"It is very unfortunate very unfortunate indeed. I very much regret that you should have been...." He lowered suddenly his voice. "But what is it surely you are not departing, Natalia Victorovna? You got bored waiting, didn't you?" "Not in the least," Miss Haldin protested. "Only I have been here some time, and I am anxious to get back to my mother." "The time seemed long, eh?
