Katia
,
the
maid-servant
,
made
her
appearance
,
terribly
frightened
.
"
Goodness
knows
what
it
means
,
ma'am
,
"
she
said
.
"
There
is
a
whole
collection
of
men
come
--
all
tipsy
--
and
want
to
see
you
.
They
say
that
'
it
's
Rogojin
,
and
she
knows
all
about
it
.
"'
"
It
's
all
right
,
Katia
,
let
them
all
in
at
once
.

"
Surely
not
all
,
ma'am
?
They
seem
so
disorderly
--
it
's
dreadful
to
see
them
.
"
"
Yes
all
,
Katia
,
all
--
every
one
of
them
.
Let
them
in
,
or
they
'll
come
in
whether
you
like
or
no
.
Listen
!
what
a
noise
they
are
making
!
Perhaps
you
are
offended
,
gentlemen
,
that
I
should
receive
such
guests
in
your
presence
?
I
am
very
sorry
,
and
ask
your
forgiveness
,
but
it
can
not
be
helped
--
and
I
should
be
very
grateful
if
you
could
all
stay
and
witness
this
climax
.
However
,
just
as
you
please
,
of
course
.
"
The
guests
exchanged
glances
;
they
were
annoyed
and
bewildered
by
the
episode
;
but
it
was
clear
enough
that
all
this
had
been
pre-arranged
and
expected
by
Nastasia
Philipovna
,
and
that
there
was
no
use
in
trying
to
stop
her
now
--
for
she
was
little
short
of
insane
.
Besides
,
they
were
naturally
inquisitive
to
see
what
was
to
happen
.
There
was
nobody
who
would
be
likely
to
feel
much
alarm
.
There
were
but
two
ladies
present
;
one
of
whom
was
the
lively
actress
,
who
was
not
easily
frightened
,
and
the
other
the
silent
German
beauty
who
,
it
turned
out
,
did
not
understand
a
word
of
Russian
,
and
seemed
to
be
as
stupid
as
she
was
lovely
.

Her
acquaintances
invited
her
to
their
"
At
Homes
"
because
she
was
so
decorative
.
She
was
exhibited
to
their
guests
like
a
valuable
picture
,
or
vase
,
or
statue
,
or
firescreen
.
As
for
the
men
,
Ptitsin
was
one
of
Rogojin
's
friends
;
Ferdishenko
was
as
much
at
home
as
a
fish
in
the
sea
,
Gania
,
not
yet
recovered
from
his
amazement
,
appeared
to
be
chained
to
a
pillory
.
The
old
professor
did
not
in
the
least
understand
what
was
happening
;
but
when
he
noticed
how
extremely
agitated
the
mistress
of
the
house
,
and
her
friends
,
seemed
,
he
nearly
wept
,
and
trembled
with
fright
:
but
he
would
rather
have
died
than
leave
Nastasia
Philipovna
at
such
a
crisis
,
for
he
loved
her
as
if
she
were
his
own
granddaughter
.
Afanasy
Ivanovitch
greatly
disliked
having
anything
to
do
with
the
affair
,
but
he
was
too
much
interested
to
leave
,
in
spite
of
the
mad
turn
things
had
taken
;
and
a
few
words
that
had
dropped
from
the
lips
of
Nastasia
puzzled
him
so
much
,
that
he
felt
he
could
not
go
without
an
explanation
.
He
resolved
therefore
,
to
see
it
out
,
and
to
adopt
the
attitude
of
silent
spectator
,
as
most
suited
to
his
dignity
.
General
Epanchin
alone
determined
to
depart
.
He
was
annoyed
at
the
manner
in
which
his
gift
had
been
returned
,
as
though
he
had
condescended
,
under
the
influence
of
passion
,
to
place
himself
on
a
level
with
Ptitsin
and
Ferdishenko
,
his
self-respect
and
sense
of
duty
now
returned
together
with
a
consciousness
of
what
was
due
to
his
social
rank
and
official
importance
.
In
short
,
he
plainly
showed
his
conviction
that
a
man
in
his
position
could
have
nothing
to
do
with
Rogojin
and
his
companions
.
But
Nastasia
interrupted
him
at
his
first
words
.
"
Ah
,
general
!
"
she
cried
,
"
I
was
forgetting
!
If
I
had
only
foreseen
this
unpleasantness
!
I
wo
n't
insist
on
keeping
you
against
your
will
,
although
I
should
have
liked
you
to
be
beside
me
now
.
In
any
case
,
I
am
most
grateful
to
you
for
your
visit
,
and
flattering
attention
...
but
if
you
are
afraid
...
"
