Shatov did not come out himself, but simply opened his door. When Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch was standing in the doorway of the room, he saw Shatov standing at the table in the corner, waiting expectantly. "Will you receive me on business?" he queried from the doorway. "Come in and sit down," answered Shatov. "Shut the door; stay, I'll shut it."
Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch listened inattentively and listlessly with his official smile, and at last even impatiently, and seemed all the time on the point of breaking away. He moved away from the window just as the ladies came back.
It seemed to me that he was angry about something. "He knows Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch too." "Do you know Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch?" inquired Stepan Trofimovitch. "I know him too." "It's... it's a very long time since I've seen Petrusha, and... I feel I have so little right to call myself a father... c'est le mot; I... how did you leave him?" "Oh, yes, I left him... he comes himself," replied Mr.
"If you were to find out that you believe in God, then you'd believe in Him; but since you don't know that you believe in Him, then you don't believe in Him," laughed Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch. "That's not right," Kirillov pondered, "you've distorted the idea. It's a flippant joke. Remember what you have meant in my life, Stavrogin." "Good-bye, Kirillov." "Come at night; when will you?"
"By the way, did you say that in earnest to your mother, about Lizaveta Nikolaevna?" he asked. Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch looked coldly at him. "Oh, I understand, it was only to soothe her, of course." "And if it were in earnest?" Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch asked firmly. "Oh, God bless you then, as they say in such cases. "You think so?"
"You've been to see Shatov too.... You mean to make it known about Marya Timofyevna," Pyotr Stepanovitch muttered, running after him, and, as though not thinking of what he was doing he clutched at his shoulder. Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch shook his hand off and turned round quickly to him with a menacing scowl. Pyotr Stepanovitch looked at him with a strange, prolonged smile.
I will add also that, four years later, in reply to a discreet question from me about the incident at the club, Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch answered, frowning: "I wasn't quite well at the time." But there is no need to anticipate events. The general outburst of hatred with which every one fell upon the "ruffian and duelling bully from the capital" also struck me as curious.
Mkolay Vsyevolodovitch looked at her, looked at Liza, at the spectators, and suddenly smiled with infinite disdain; he walked deliberately out of the room. Every one saw how Liza leapt up from the sofa as soon as he turned to go and unmistakably made a movement to run after him.
Explain it to him! Explain it!" cried Gaganov. "I'm in complete agreement with Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch," proclaimed Kirillov. "Why does he spare me?" Gaganov raged, not hearing him. "I despise his mercy.... I spit on it.... I..." "I give you my word that I did not intend to insult you," cried Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch impatiently.
Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch interrupted the old man with a rapid question, and he scowled when he heard that Darya Pavlovna "had declined to go abroad on account of indisposition and was in her rooms." "Listen, old man," he said, as though suddenly making up his mind.
