And now, at last, returning on the Monday morning after his three days' absence, Pyotr Stepanovitch made a circuit of the town, and, after dining at Yulia Mihailovna's, came at last in the evening to Varvara Petrovna, who was impatiently expecting him. The interdict had been removed, Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch was "at home."
When they reached the station the friends got into a carriage, and all the way there Yartsev was singing and in raptures over the exquisite weather. The villa was in a great park not far from the station. At the beginning of an avenue, about twenty paces from the gates, Yulia Sergeyevna was sitting under a broad, spreading poplar, waiting for her guests.
"I misunderstood that woman," she declared, and with her characteristic impulsiveness she frankly told Yulia Mihailovna that she had come to thank her. Yulia Mihailovna was flattered, but she behaved with dignity. She was beginning about this time to be very conscious of her own importance, too much so, in fact.
Lyamshin positively shrieked with delight. Yulia Mihailovna frowned. Nikolay Stavrogin walked in. "Why, I was told that you were locked up?" he said aloud, addressing Stepan Trofimovitch before every one else. "No, it was a case of unlocking," jested Stepan Trofimovitch. "But I hope that what's happened will have no influence on what I asked you to do," Yulia Mihailovna put in again.
Then, after resting a little, she took her brother's hand and went on in a weak, toneless voice: "How kind you are, Alyosha! . . . And how clever! . . . What a good man you've grown up into!" At midnight Laptev said good-night to her, and as he went away he took with him the parasol that Yulia Sergeyevna had forgotten.
Von Lembke had been in the room for some time but seemed unnoticed by anyone, though every one had seen him come in. In accordance with her former plan, Yulia Mihailovna went on ignoring him. He took up his position near the door and with a stern face listened gloomily to the conversation.
He did not care, he wished for nothing, and could reason about it coolly, but there was a sort of heaviness in his face especially under his eyes, his forehead felt drawn tight like elastic and tears were almost starting into his eyes. Feeling weak all over, he lay down on his bed, and in five minutes was sound asleep. The proposal Laptev had made so suddenly threw Yulia Sergeyevna into despair.
the date of the fete which Yulia Mihailovna was getting up for the benefit of the governesses of our province had been several times fixed and put off.
But it can hardly have been altogether due to Yulia Mihailovna. On the contrary; at first many people vied with one another in praising the new governor's wife for her success in bringing local society together, and for making things more lively.
Now he intended to write also on the position of modern German universities, and, she believed, something about the Dresden Madonna too. In short, Varvara Petrovna refused to surrender Stepan Trofimovitch to the tender mercies of Yulia Mihailovna. "The Dresden Madonna? You mean the Sistine Madonna?
