"You see Pyotr Petrovitch writes that you are not to be with us this evening, and that he will go away if you come. So will you... come?" "That, of course, is not for me to decide, but for you first, if you are not offended by such a request; and secondly, by Dounia, if she, too, is not offended. I will do what you think best," he added, drily.
Fenitchka's conscience scarcely reproached her; but she was tormented at times by the thought of the real cause of the quarrel; and Pavel Petrovitch too looked at her so strangely ... that even when her back was turned, she felt his eyes upon her. She grew thinner from constant inward agitation, and, as is always the way, became still more charming.
There are unhappily such ... of flighty character... and at a certain age too, and then they are not brought up in good principles." "Maman, maman," cried a pretty little girl of eleven running into the room, "Vladimir Nikolaitch is coming on horseback!" Marya Dmitrievna got up; Sergei Petrovitch also rose and made a bow.
Pavlicheff turned Roman Catholic? Impossible!" he cried, in horror. "H'm! impossible is rather a strong word," said Ivan Petrovitch.
She noticed this change and would usually say: "You are dull without your friend. We must send out to the fields for him." And when Dmitri Petrovitch came in, she would say: "Well, here is your friend now. Rejoice." So passed a year and a half. It somehow happened one July Sunday that Dmitri Petrovitch and I, having nothing to do, drove to the big village of Klushino to buy things for supper.
Nikolai Petrovitch presented him to Bazarov; Pavel Petrovitch greeted him with a slight inclination of his supple figure, and a slight smile, but he did not give him his hand, and even put it back into his pocket. 'I had begun to think you were not coming to-day, he began in a musical voice, with a genial swing and shrug of the shoulders, as he showed his splendid white teeth.
Nikolai Petrovitch related various incidents in what he called his career as a farmer, talked about the impending government measures, about committees, deputations, the necessity of introducing machinery, etc.
Then in a convulsed voice, he exclaimed: "You lie! The Countess Olga could never have given herself to a serf!" "Refer to your memory once more, Kostia Petrovitch. You forget that in her eyes I was not a serf, but an illustrious physician, a sort of great man. However, I will console you. The Countess Olga loved me no more than I loved her.
Bazaroff alone seemed supremely indifferent to the atmosphere of pleasure which pervaded his friend's home-coming. As the two young men left the room, Pavel Petrovitch turned to his brother with a slightly questioning look on his clear-cut, clean-shaved, refined face. "Who is he?" he asked. "A friend of Arkady's; according to him, a very clever fellow." "Is he going to stay with us?" "Yes."
When he heard of Bazarov's going, Pavel Petrovitch expressed a desire to see him, and shook his hand. But even then he remained as cold as ice; he realised that Pavel Petrovitch wanted to play the magnanimous. He did not succeed in saying good-bye to Fenitchka; he only exchanged glances with her at the window. Her face struck him as looking dejected.
