It seemed to me that we were all the same to her myself, Moissey, Cheprakov; all swept together into the drunken, wild scream of "murder" myself, our marriage, our work, and the muddy roads of autumn; and when she breathed or stirred to make herself more comfortable I could read in her eyes: "Oh, if the morning would come quicker!" In the morning she went away.
I told her what had happened in the yard and did not keep back the fact that I had struck Moissey. "Living in the country is horrible," she said. "And what a long night it is!" "Mur-der!" we heard again, a little later. "I'll go and part them," I said. "No. Let them kill each other," she said with an expression of disgust.
They were as uncompromising in their atheism as Moissey, but they had consented to attend the quaint supper to please their parents.
I sometimes wondered whether at the bottom of her heart Elsie did not feel elated by her close relations with that couple. That she herself was a stranger to all money interests there could be no doubt, however. And this was true of Anna and the other children. Elsie and Moissey were the strongest individualities in the family.
Theirs were truly religious natures, and socialism was their religion in the purest sense of the term. Elsie scarcely had any other great interest in life. Her socialism amused me, but her devotion to it inspired me with reverence. As for Moissey, good literature, as the term is understood in Russia, was nearly as much of a passion with him as Marxian socialism.
Sometimes after a whispered conversation Moissey would hand over the money himself without saying anything to his mistress, from which I concluded that the transaction was settled on his own account.
