"Father Zosim yes. Or from others, perhaps." "You left him, then. But have you seen him since, may I ask?" For some time Miss Haldin made no answer to this very direct question, then "I have been expecting to see him here to-day," she said quietly. "You have! Do you meet, then, in this garden? In that case I had better leave you at once." "No, why leave me? And we don't meet in this garden.
Christ the saintly Lord, St Paul and St John, Polycarp and Leo, Patrick and Francis, Sergius and Zosim, St Theresa and hundreds of other saints.
It's well known. Oh yes! It is a fact that Father Zosim had the protection of the Governor-General of a certain province. We talked on the subject with my brother two years ago, I remember. But his work was good. And now he is proscribed. What better proof can one require. But no matter what that priest was or is. All that cannot affect my brother's friend.
"What a wonderful person he is!" "Yes, he certainly is wonderful. And should you want to marry Alexai, he will arrange that too with Zosim, the priest. You remember I told you about him. But perhaps it is not necessary as yet, eh?" "No, not yet." "Very well." Solomin went up to the door dividing the two rooms, Mariana's and Nejdanov's, and examined the lock. "What are you doing?" Mariana asked.
"If that's so," he said aloud, "if we must run away from here before the police find us... I think it wouldn't be a bad thing if we were to get married. We may not find another such accommodating priest as Father Zosim!" "I am quite ready," Mariana observed. Nejdanov gave her a searching glance. "A Roman maiden!" he exclaimed with a sarcastic half-smile. "What a feeling of duty!"
But there is no love between us." "Stop, Alexai! what are you saying? The police may come for us today... we must go away together and not part " "And get Father Zosim to marry us at Solomin's suggestion.
And would you believe it I have only to drop a hint about marrying and she would agree at once and the priest Zosim would put in an appearance, "Isaiah, rejoice!" and the rest of it. But this would not make it any easier for me and NOTHING WOULD BE CHANGED BY IT... Whatever you do, there is no way out of it!
Really, I know nothing except what Peter Ivanovitch told me of him. He has brought a letter of introduction from Father Zosim you know, the priest-democrat; you have heard of Father Zosim?" "Oh yes. The famous Father Zosim was staying here in Geneva for some two months about a year ago," I said. "When he left here he seems to have disappeared from the world."
Is he staying in the Chateau as a guest do you suppose?" "I can't really tell," she confessed. "He brought a written introduction from Father Zosim who, it seems, is a friend of Madame de S too. She can't be such a worthless woman after all." "There were all sorts of rumours afloat about Father Zosim himself," I observed. She shrugged her shoulders. "Calumny is a weapon of our government too.
Two days after these events, a cart drove up the courtyard of the worthy Father Zosim, containing a man and woman who are already known to the reader. The following day they were legally married. Soon afterwards they disappeared, and the good father never regretted what he had done.
