Then she summoned Mlle. Boncourt and remained a long while closeted with her. When she had dismissed her she sent for Pandalevsky. She wanted at all hazards to discover the real cause of Rudin's departure... but Pandalevsky succeeded in completely satisfying her. It was what he was there for. The next day Volintsev and his sister came to dinner.
Lezhnyov talked of agricultural matters, of a new method of roofing barns with paper.... Suddenly Volintsev leaped up from his chair and struck the table with such force that the cups and saucers rang. 'No! he cried, 'I cannot bear this any longer! I will call out this witty fellow, and let him shoot me, at least I will try to put a bullet through his learned brains!
He tried to keep his feelings in check, but in vain; he was jealous of him on Natalya's account. And Rudin himself, though he always welcomed Volintsev with effusion, though he called him a knight-errant, and borrowed money from him, did not feel exactly friendly towards him.
Volintsev suspects. 'Never mind him! You saw I did not even answer him to-day.... Ah, Natalya Alexyevna, how happy I am! Nothing shall sever us now! Natalya looked into his eyes. 'Let me go, she whispered; 'it's time. 'One instant, began Rudin. 'No, let me go, let me go. 'You seem afraid of me. 'No, but it's time. 'Repeat, then, at least once more....
Lezhnyov let him pass, looked after him, and after a moment's thought he too turned his horse's head round, and drove back to Volintsev's, where he had spent the night. He found him asleep, and giving orders he should not be waked, he sat down on the balcony to wait for some tea and smoked a pipe. Volintsev got up at ten o'clock.
I read a history of the Crusades, said Natalya, with some hesitation. Volintsev looked at her. 'Ah! he ejaculated at last, 'that must be interesting. He picked a twig and began to twirl it in the air. They walked another twenty paces. 'What is this baron whom your mother has made acquaintance with? began Volintsev again.
I should have more readily expected some one with a special message from you. 'I understand what you mean, said Rudin, taking a seat, 'and am very grateful for your frankness. It is far better so. I have come myself to you, as to a man of honour. 'Cannot we dispense with compliments? observed Volintsev. 'I want to explain to you why I have come. 'We are acquainted; why should you not come?
'I expected many strange things from him, but this is Still I can see him in it. 'Upon my honour! cried Volintsev, in great excitement, 'it is simply insolence! Why, I almost threw him out of the window. Did he want to boast to me or was he afraid? What was the object of it? How could he make up his mind to come to a man ? Volintsev clasped his hands over his head and was speechless.
And we shall both be simply new men, my dear boy; we shall enjoy ourselves so, we shall come back so fat that we shall be proof against the darts of love! 'You are always joking, Misha! 'I'm not joking at all. It was a brilliant idea of yours. 'No; nonsense! Volintsev shouted again. 'I want to fight him, to fight him!... 'Again! What a rage you are in!
