LÍPOCHKA and LÁZAR do so. AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. Ah, my little doves! How in the world did it happen! I declare I've quite lost my head. "Whoever heard or saw such things? The elephant's learning to fly with wings; The hen laid a door-knob instead of an egg; And piggy is dancing a jig on a keg!" She pours out wine and goes up to RISPOLÓZHENSKY; RISPOLÓZHENSKY bows and declines the wine.
BOLSHÓV. What's the matter, Lázar? What's the matter? What have you done with the money? PODKHALYÚZIN. Now you just consider: here I'm setting up in business have fixed up a house. But do have something to eat, daddy! You can have some Madeira if you want it, sir! Mamma, pass daddy something. AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. Eat, Samsón Sílych, dear! Eat! I'll pour out a little punch for you, dear!
Lazar Mioushkovitch, who, with Dushan Gregovitch, had accompanied the King, told me: "It was terrible." Dushan Gregovitch good looking, and remarkable rather for high stakes at bridge than common-sense rashly allowed himself to be interviewed. Montenegro's grandiose schemes for conquest appeared next day in the papers. "The Tsar was furious. He threatened us even with annihilation!
A day or two after the attempt on St. Lazar, the admiral ordered one of the Spanish men-of-war we had taken to be mounted with sixteen guns, and manned with detachments from our great ships, in order to batter the town; accordingly, she was towed into the inner harbour in the night, and moored within half a mile of the walls, against which she began to fire at daybreak; and continued about six hours exposed to the opposition of at least thirty pieces of cannon, which at length obliged our men to set her on fire, and get off as well as they could in their boats.
The general complained that the fleet lay idle while his troops were harassed and diminished by hard duty and distemper. The admiral affirmed, that his ships could not lie near enough to batter the town of Carthagena; he upbraided the general with inactivity and want of resolution to attack the fort of Saint Lazar which commanded the town, and might be taken by scalade.
RISPOLÓZHENSKY. What's that you say, Lázar Elizárych? Oh! Just think of it, what a gang. PODKHALYÚZIN. And how are we going to make a good thing out of this business now? Do you understand me, or not? RISPOLÓZHENSKY. That is, the insolvency, Lázar Elizárych? PODKHALYÚZIN. The insolvency will take care of itself; but I mean my own business affairs. RISPOLÓZHENSKY. He, he, he!
Miss Lazar passed by us, giving me a smiling look, which seemed to say, "I knew you would sooner or later be in her company." I felt myself blushing. "To-morrow I'll be in Tannersville and all this nonsense will be over," I said to myself The long-faced, short girl with whom Miss Tevkin had played tennis emerged from the lobby door and was introduced to me as Miss Siegel.
Lear, thrown from his palace, must divest him of his garments, till he answer "mere nature;" and Cresseid, fallen from a prince's love, must extend her pale arms, pale with other whiteness than of beauty, supplicating lazar alms with bell and clap-dish.
OLIMPIÁDA SAMSÓNOVNA. Well, why don't you kiss me, Lázar Elizárych? PODKHALYÚZIN. Why, sure! Permit me, ma'am! With great pleasure! OLIMPIÁDA SAMSÓNOVNA. What shall I say to you? PODKHALYÚZIN. Oh, say anything any little thing, ma'am. It's all the same to me, ma'am! OLIMPIÁDA SAMSÓNOVNA. Kom voo zet zholi! PODKHALYÚZIN. What does that mean, ma'am? OLIMPIÁDA SAMSÓNOVNA. How nice you are!
If humiliation is the element in which we live, if it is become not only our occasional policy, but our habit, no great objection can be made to the modes in which it may be diversified, though I confess I cannot be charmed with the idea of our exposing our lazar sores at the door of every proud servitor of the French Republic, where the court dogs will not deign to lick them.
