Solomin has to adjust himself to the old ways, to practical things, and to the owner himself. Have you any idea what Falyeva is like?" "Not in the least." "He is the biggest skinflint in Moscow. A regular bourgeois." At this moment Solomin entered the room. Nejdanov was just as disillusioned about him as he had been about the factory.
Valentina Mihailovna gracefully threw her arms round his neck and they kissed three times. During this scene Nejdanov half guiltily scrambled out of the carriage and, without removing his cap, stood quietly near the front wheel, looking out from under his eyebrows. Valentina Mihailovna, when embracing her husband, had cast a penetrating look over his shoulder at this new figure.
Nobody will find you. If only you get there, we won't give you up. You might think that there are far too many people about, but that's one of its good points. Where there is a crowd it's easy to hide. Will you come? Will you?" "How can we thank you enough!" Nejdanov exclaimed, whilst Mariana, who was at first a little taken aback by the idea of the factory, added quickly: "Of course, of course!
He has been kept there. They've no doubt brought him to town by this time. I don't think he would betray us, but he might let things out unwittingly. Besides, they might have guessed from the horses. My cousin has been informed of your coming. Pavel will go with you. He will be a witness." "And you... and you?" Nejdanov asked. "Aren't you going?
Nejdanov lit a candle; a grey moth fluttered in from the dark garden straight to the flame; she circled round it, whilst a gentle breeze from without blew on them both, disturbing the yellow-bluish flame of the candle. "How strange!" Nejdanov thought, lying in bed; "they seem good, liberal-minded people, even humane... but I feel so troubled in my heart. This chamberlain.
What would he say to her? Firm, rapid footsteps made him open his eyes. Solomin passed through his room, knocked at Mariana's door, and went in. "Honour where honour is due!" Nejdanov whispered bitterly.
Nejdanov had common sense enough to know that what he was doing was unutterably stupid and absurd had he not got himself up to such a pitch of excitement that he was no longer able to discriminate between sense and nonsense.
At last, after the usual outburst of politeness and amiability, which appears on the faces of a bored assembly on the point of breaking up, after sudden handshakings and friendly smiles, the weary guests and weary hosts separated. Solomin, who had been given almost the best bedroom on the second floor, with English toilette accessories and a bathroom attached, went in to Nejdanov.
"You are in need of money, for instance," Paklin continued with new force, paying no attention to Mashurina; "Nejdanov hasn't any. I could get it for you." Nejdanov wheeled round from the window. "No, no. It is not necessary. I can get the money. I will draw some of my allowance in advance. Now I recollect, they owe me something. Let us look at the letter, Ostrodumov."
It's only the damned luck of all... bastards!" The last sentence Markelov pronounced abruptly and hurriedly, but suddenly stopped as if turned to stone. Nejdanov felt himself grow pale in the darkness and tingled all over. He could scarcely restrain himself from flying at Markelov and seizing him by the throat. "Only blood will wipe out this insult," he thought.
