Otherwise..." The ponderous Soloviev hurriedly, sincerely, and powerfully embraced and rumpled Lichonin. "Well, dear fellow, well, that's enough ... I committed a stupidity in the flurry. It won't be repeated any more. Hail, my pale-faced sister." He extended his hand with a broad sweep across the table to Liubka, and squeezed her listless, small and short fingers with gnawed, tiny nails.
Sleep was fearfully besetting Liubka; her eyes would close, and she with an effort would open them wide, so as not to fall asleep again; while on her lips lay the same naive, childish, tired smile, which Lichonin had noticed still there, in the cabinet. And out of one corner of her mouth ran a thin trickle of saliva. "Liubka, my dear! My darling, much-suffering woman!
"Well, now, the young lady is busy with a guest. They haven't waked up yet." "Well, Tamara then." The maid looked at him mistrustfully. "Miss Tamara I don't know... I think she's busy too. But what you want to pay a visit, or what?" "Ah, isn't it all the same! A visit, let's say." "I don't know. I'll go and look. Wait a while." She went away, leaving Lichonin in the half-dark drawing room.
But if the Georgian and the kind-souled Soloviev served as a palliating beginning against the sharp thorns of great worldly wisdom, in the curious education of the mind and soul of Liubka; and if Liubka forgave the pedantism of Lichonin for the sake of a first sincere and limitless love for him, and forgave just as willingly as she would have forgiven curses, beatings, or a heavy crime the lessons of Simanovsky, on the other hand, were a downright torture and a constant, prolonged burden for her.
Lichonin, completely grown merry, suddenly began jumping like a goat about her, just like a satellite around a whirling planet long-legged, long-armed, stooping and altogether incongruous. His entrance was greeted by a general but pretty friendly neighing. He was made to sit down at the table, was helped to vodka and sausage.
But man has lied himself out so, has become such an importunate beggar, and has sunk so low! ... Ah, Lichonin, but I am weary!" "I, as an anarchist, partly understand you," said Lichonin thoughtfully. It was as though he heard and yet did not hear the reporter. Some thought was with difficulty, for the first time, being born in his mind. "But one thing I can not comprehend.
Lichonin! Look down upon mankind from above!" Jennie walked into the room, dishevelled, sleepy, in a night jacket on top of a white underskirt. "A-a!" she yawned, extending her hand to Lichonin. "How d'you do, my dear student! How does your Liubochka feel herself in the new place? Call me in as a guest some time. Or are you spending your honeymoon on the quiet? Without any outside witnesses?"
If humanity has become so malodorous to you, then how do you stand and for so long, too, all this, " Lichonin took in the whole table with a circular motion of his hand, "the basest thing that mankind could invent?" "Well, I don't even know myself," said Platonov with artlessness. "You see, I am a vagabond, and am passionately in love with life.
Inspector!" said Lichonin, getting out the money. "Oh, mercy!" by now altogether good-naturedly retorted Kerbesh. "A wife, children ... You know yourself what our salary is ... Receive the little passport, young man. Sign your receipt. Best wishes." A queer thing!
Perhaps there are even people burning! but for his part merely laments and slaps his thighs." "Well, now," said Platonov harshly, "would you take a child's syringe and go to put out the fire with it?" "No!" heatedly exclaimed Lichonin ... "Perhaps who knows? perhaps I'll succeed in saving at least one living soul?
