'Na! gut, gut... geh, alte! Mr. Ratsch cut her short. 'Geh' schon, geh' schon, muttered Eleonora Karpovna, and she went away, still holding the kerchief with her fingers, and shedding tears. And I followed her. In the passage stood Viktor in a student's coat with a beaver collar and a cap stuck jauntily on one side.
For certainly a great love does make one different; I saw that clearly in Dora; when she was madly in love with Viktor, and the way she's relapsed now!! She is learning Latin again, to make up for lost time! Ada does not speak to her about her plans because Dora lacks true insight!
What do you suppose the old skinflint answered? "I'll pay your debts," says he, "if you like. Up to twenty-five roubles inclusive!" Do you hear, inclusive! No, sir, this was a gift from God in my destitution. A lucky chance. 'Been robbing someone? Fustov hazarded carelessly. Viktor frowned. 'Robbing, no indeed! I won it, won it from an officer, a guardsman.
Father and Mother did not know anything about Viktor either, and you were happy enough then. It is just the secrecy that makes one so happy." Then she said very softly: "Dear Grete, you too will change your views," and then we did not say another word.
'Yes, to-morrow.... Come, come, come, please! he added, in a tone of vexation, seeing she was shaking all over and softly bending her head; 'please, Akulina, don't cry. 'There, I won't, I won't! cried Akulina, hurriedly gulping down her tears with an effort. 'You are starting to-morrow? she added, after a brief silence: 'when will God grant that we see each other again, Viktor Alexandritch?
'Well, he began, still gazing away, swinging his leg and yawning, 'have you been here long? The girl could not at once answer. 'Yes, a long while, Viktor Alexandritch, she said at last, in a voice hardly audible. We set off to-morrow.... 'To-morrow? uttered the young girl. And she fastened her startled eyes upon him.
We were going to school to-day at 9 and suddenly we heard a tremendous rattling with a sword; that is Hella heard it, for she always notices that sort of thing before I do, and she said: "Hullo, that's an o in a frightful hurry," and looked round; "I say, there's Viktor behind us" and he really was, he was saluting us and he said: Fraulein Rita, can you give me a moment; you'll excuse me won't you, Fraulein Hella?
Viktor, as before, held himself aloof; he kept muffling himself up in his coat, and rubbing his chin in the fur of his collar. Mr. Ratsch's other children eagerly imitated their father. Flinging sand and earth was a source of great enjoyment to them, for which, of course, they were in no way to blame. A mound began to rise up where the hole had been; we were on the point of separating, when Mr.
Sudden heart-breaking sobs prevented her from finishing; she lay with her face in the grass and bitterly, bitterly she wept.... Her whole body shook convulsively, her neck fairly heaved.... Her long-suppressed grief broke out in a torrent at last. Viktor stood over her, stood a moment, shrugged his shoulders, turned away and strode off.
'Not that one, not that one, you fool! the other! cried Viktor, and he took away his eye-glass, without allowing her to correct her mistake. Akulina flushed a little, gave a faint laugh, and turned away. 'It's clear it's not for the likes of us, she said. 'I should think not, indeed! The poor girl was silent and gave a deep sigh.
