FOMÍNISHNA. You see Samsón Sílych has come, and seems to be tipsy. TISHKA. Phew! We're goners! FOMÍNISHNA. Run for Lázar, Tishka; there's a dear; run quick! FOMÍNISHNA. This way, I guess, my dear! Ah, I'll close the doors, good heavens, I'll close them; let him go up-stairs, but you stay here, my dear. A knock at the door, and the voice of SAMSÓN SÍLYCH: "Hey! open up; who's there?"
And in a cabinet of the very restaurant, adjoining that in which the solitary Gawtrey gorged his conscience, Lilburne, Arthur, and their gay friends, soon forgetful of all but the roses of the moment, bathed their airy spirits in the dews of the mirthful wine. Oh, extremes of life! Oh, Night! Oh, Morning! "Meantime a moving scene was open laid, That lazar house." THOMSON'S Castle of Indolence.
Followed tales of another "celebrity," Lazarevitch, who claimed descent from Tsar Lazar of Kosovo fame and was, according to "the Egyptian," the finest intriguer in Europe: "not a plot has happened in which he has not had, if not his index, his little finger. He played a large part in the Dreyfus case.
Not all at once, ma'am! AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. Lord grant we may! As it is, it makes me pine away simply looking at him. BOLSHÓV. Well, what about it, Lázar? PODKHALYÚZIN. Ten kopeks, if you please, I'll give, sir, as we said. BOLSHÓV. But where am I going to get fifteen more? I can't make 'em out of door-mats. PODKHALYÚZIN. Daddy, I can't raise 'em, sir! God sees that I can't, sir!
RISPOLÓZHENSKY. He, he, he! Lázar Elizárych! How could I plunder anybody? My business is of a small sort. I'm like a little bird, picking up small grains. PODKHALYÚZIN. You deal in small quantities, of course? RISPOLÓZHENSKY. You'd deal even in small quantities if you couldn't get anything else. Well, it wouldn't matter so much if I were alone; but, you see, I have a wife and four kiddies.
Here's what I think, Lázar: to offer the creditors such a proposition as this will they accept from me twenty-five kopeks on the ruble? What do you think? PODKHALYÚZIN. Why, according to my notion, Samsón Sílych, if you're going to pay at the rate of twenty-five kopeks, it would be more decent not to pay at all. BOLSHÓV. Why, really, that's so.
Is that vodka? I'll just take a thimbleful, Lázar Elizárych. AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA goes out with OLIMPIÁDA SAMSÓNOVNA. PODKHALYÚZIN. Why is it you've favored us with a visit, may I inquire? RISPOLÓZHENSKY. He, he, he! What a joker you are, Lázar Elizárych! Of course you know why. PODKHALYÚZIN. And what may that be, I should like to know, sir? RISPOLÓZHENSKY. For money, Lázar Elizárych, for money!
But that England should perish swindling and stealing; that it should perish waging war against lazar houses and hospitals; that it should perish persecuting with monastic bigotry; that it should calmly give itself up to be ruined by the flashy arrogance of one man, and the narrow fanaticism of another; these events are within the power of human beings, and I did not think that the magnanimity of Englishmen would ever stoop to such degradations.
No; I thought otherwise once; but I now regard the vast lazar- house around us without hope of relief: Death is the sole Physician!" "Ah, no!" said the high-souled Madeline, eagerly; "do not take away from us the best feeling and the highest desire we can cherish.
If ever "flat burglary" and "treason dire" were written on a man's face, it stood out in staring capitals upon that Cain-like brow. But there were lights as well as shadows to the picture. Out of that grim den of death, out of that floating lazar house, there came a few blooming maidens and stalwart youths, like fair flowers springing from the rankness of a charnel.
