"Charmed!" said Maria Ivanovna, with frigid politeness, and Sarudine observed the hostile look in her eyes, which somewhat unnerved him. "We ought not to have come," he thought, at last aware of the fact, which in Volochine's society he had forgotten. Lida might come in at any moment, Lida, the mother of his child; what should he say to her? How should he look her in the face?
In Lida's heart there arose a vague, fleeting desire to bid tender farewell to all those bygone hours of love which had once been theirs. But this feeling she swiftly repressed, as she said in a loud, harsh voice: "Good-bye! Bon voyage! Don't forget us, Pavel Lvovitsch!" As they were going, Volochine's remark could be distinctly heard. "How charming she is! She intoxicates one, like champagne!"
"Ah I yes, I know," said Sarudine. He glanced about him nervously, feeling a sudden presentiment. "I wonder if it's Lida?" he thought. "Impossible!" Volochine's inquisitive eyes twinkled. His puny little body in its loose white clothes seemed to acquire new vitality. "Well, good-bye!" he said, laughing. "Up to your old tricks, as usual! Ha! Ha!"
Maria Ivanovna looked pale and shrunken, Volochine's eyes expressed animal fear, and Sarudine slowly and irresolutely rose. "What do you mean?" he asked in a hoarse voice. Volochine tittered, and looked about nervously for his hat. Sanine did not reply to the question, but maliciously handed Volochine the hat. From the latter's open mouth a stifled sound escaped like a plaintive squeak.
