"How annoying!" said the police captain, looking pensively at Pyotr Mihalitch. "And I was meaning to spend the evening with you. Where has Zinaida Mihalovna gone?" "To the Sinitskys', and I believe she meant to go from there to the monastery. I don't quite know." The police captain talked a little longer and then turned back.
She had invariably bustling round her Pyotr Stepanovitch and a little clerk, Lyamshin, who used at one time to visit Stepan Trofimovitch, and had suddenly found favour in the governor's house for the way he played the piano and now was of use running errands. Liputin was there a good deal too, and Yulia Mihailovna destined him to be the editor of a new independent provincial paper.
Pyotr Stepanovitch is treating me abominably!" Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch listened with interest, and looked at him attentively. It was evident that though Captain Lebyadkin had left off drinking he was far from being in a harmonious state of mind.
Besides, the whole story only does honour to Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch, if one must make use of that vague word 'honour." "You mean to say that you were a witness of some incident which gave rise... to this misunderstanding?" asked Varvara Petrovna. "I witnessed it, and took part in it," Pyotr Stepanovitch hastened to declare.
He put off speaking about it till next day, when it would be all over and would therefore not matter to Kirillov; such at least was Pyotr Stepanovitch's judgment of him. Liputin, too, was struck by the fact that Shatov was not mentioned in spite of what Pyotr Stepanovitch had promised, but he was too much agitated to protest.
Near him were standing Lubotchka and the daughters of a neighbour, Colonel Bukryeev two anaemic and unhealthily stout fair girls, Natalya and Valentina, or, as they were always called, Nata and Vata, both wearing white frocks and strikingly like each other. Pyotr Dmitritch was teaching them to mow. "It's very simple," he said.
We were deliberating here whether to tell you at once or not?" "Nikolay Vsyevolodovitch, is he telling the truth?" Liza articulated faintly. "No; it's false." "False?" said Pyotr Stepanovitch, starting. "What do you mean by that?" "Heavens! I-shall go mad!" cried Liza. "Do you understand, anyway, that he is mad now!" Pyotr Stepanovitch cried at the top of his voice.
Avis au lecteur!" Abruptly and obviously Pyotr Stepanovitch declined to discuss it. He hurried to the door. "Stay, Pyotr Stepanovitch, stay," cried Lembke. "One other tiny matter and I won't detain you." He drew an envelope out of a table drawer. "Here is a little specimen of the same kind of thing, and I let you see it to show how completely I trust you. Here, and tell me your opinion."
Pyotr Stepanoviteh jumped up from his seat and instantly handed him an inkstand and paper, and began dictating, seizing the moment, quivering with anxiety. "I, Alexey Kirillov, declare..." "Stay; I won't! To whom am I declaring it?" Kirillov was shaking as though he were in a fever.
The last, old man. . . . Just sit down and write straight off to him, 'I forgive you Pyotr! He will under-sta-and! He will fe-el it! I understand it from myself, you see old man . . . deacon, I mean. When I lived like other people, I hadn't much to trouble about, but now since I lost the image and semblance, there is only one thing I care about, that good people should forgive me.
