Alexandra Pavlovna did not come to dinner, and when they rose from table Volintsev at once ordered his carriage to be ready, and slipped away without saying good-bye to any one. His heart was heavy. He had long loved Natalya, and was repeatedly resolving to make her an offer.... She was kindly disposed to him, but her heart remained unmoved; he saw that clearly.
You are breaking her in yourself ... and they say it's so hard! 'To give you the least pleasure, you know, Natalya Alexyevna, I am ready... I... not in such trifles Volintsev grew confused. Natalya looked at him with friendly encouragement, and again said 'merci!
'He has insulted me, pursued Volintsev, walking up and down the room. 'Yes! he has insulted me. You must admit that yourself. At first I was not sharp enough; he took me by surprise; and who could have expected this? But I will show him that he cannot make a fool of me. ... I will shoot him, the damned philosopher, like a partridge. 'Much you will gain by that, indeed!
'P.P.S. One last, but important request more; since I am going away, I hope you will not allude before Natalya Alexyevna to my visit to you. 'Well, what do you say to that? asked Volintsev, directly Lezhnyov had finished the letter. 'What is one to say? replied Lezhnyov, 'Cry "Allah! Allah!" like a Mussulman and sit gaping with astonishment that's all one can do.... Well, a good riddance!
Darkness seemed to fall upon his eyes. Gazing after Natalya, he left the tree and took two strides, not knowing whither or wherefore. Rudin saw him as he came up to him. Both looked each other in the face, bowed, and separated in silence. 'This won't be the end of it, both were thinking. Volintsev went to the very end of the garden.
I had rather go out to the fields, said Volintsev, putting on his out-of-door coat. 'Well, that's a good thing too. Go along, and look at the fields.... And Lezhnyov betook himself to the apartments of Alexandra Pavlovna. He found her in the drawing-room. She welcomed him effusively. She was always pleased when he came; but her face still looked sorrowful.
Darya Mihailovna was always very affable to him, but this time she was especially cordial to him. Natalya felt unbearably miserable; but Volintsev was so respectful, and addressed her so timidly, that she could not but be grateful to him in her heart.
Lezhnyov? inquired Pandalevsky, as though he were surprised. 'Yes, Mihailo Mihailitch Lezhnyov, replied Volintsev. 'Well, good-bye; it's time I was off to the field; they are sowing your buckwheat. Mr. Pandalevsky will escort you home. And Volintsev rode off at a trot. 'With the greatest of pleasure! cried Konstantin Diomiditch, offering Alexandra Pavlovna his arm.
'Sergei Pavlitch, you understand me? 'Dmitri Nikolaitch, I don't understand you in the least. 'You prefer 'I prefer you should speak plainly! broke in Volintsev. He was beginning to be angry in earnest. Rudin frowned. Volintsev turned white, but made no reply. He walked to the window and stood with his back turned.
He came up with a hesitating step, greeted all of them from a distance, and with an expression of pain on his face he turned to Natalya and said: 'Oh, you are having a walk? 'Yes, answered Natalya, 'we were just going home. 'Ah! was Volintsev's reply. 'Well, let us go, and they all walked towards the house. 'How is your sister? Rudin inquired, in a specially cordial tone, of Volintsev.
