The
neighbours
undoubtedly
did
hear
.
Varia
rushed
out
of
the
room
.
No
sooner
had
his
sister
left
him
alone
,
than
Gania
took
the
note
out
of
his
pocket
,
kissed
it
,
and
pirouetted
around
.
As
a
general
rule
,
old
General
Ivolgin
's
paroxysms
ended
in
smoke
.
He
had
before
this
experienced
fits
of
sudden
fury
,
but
not
very
often
,
because
he
was
really
a
man
of
peaceful
and
kindly
disposition
.
He
had
tried
hundreds
of
times
to
overcome
the
dissolute
habits
which
he
had
contracted
of
late
years
.
He
would
suddenly
remember
that
he
was
"
a
father
,
"
would
be
reconciled
with
his
wife
,
and
shed
genuine
tears
.
His
feeling
for
Nina
Alexandrovna
amounted
almost
to
adoration
;
she
had
pardoned
so
much
in
silence
,
and
loved
him
still
in
spite
of
the
state
of
degradation
into
which
he
had
fallen
.
But
the
general
's
struggles
with
his
own
weakness
never
lasted
very
long
.
He
was
,
in
his
way
,
an
impetuous
man
,
and
a
quiet
life
of
repentance
in
the
bosom
of
his
family
soon
became
insupportable
to
him
.
In
the
end
he
rebelled
,
and
flew
into
rages
which
he
regretted
,
perhaps
,
even
as
he
gave
way
to
them
,
but
which
were
beyond
his
control
.
He
picked
quarrels
with
everyone
,
began
to
hold
forth
eloquently
,
exacted
unlimited
respect
,
and
at
last
disappeared
from
the
house
,
and
sometimes
did
not
return
for
a
long
time
.
He
had
given
up
interfering
in
the
affairs
of
his
family
for
two
years
now
,
and
knew
nothing
about
them
but
what
he
gathered
from
hearsay
.

But
on
this
occasion
there
was
something
more
serious
than
usual
.
Everyone
seemed
to
know
something
,
but
to
be
afraid
to
talk
about
it
.
The
general
had
turned
up
in
the
bosom
of
his
family
two
or
three
days
before
,
but
not
,
as
usual
,
with
the
olive
branch
of
peace
in
his
hand
,
not
in
the
garb
of
penitence
--
in
which
he
was
usually
clad
on
such
occasions
--
but
,
on
the
contrary
,
in
an
uncommonly
bad
temper
.
He
had
arrived
in
a
quarrelsome
mood
,
pitching
into
everyone
he
came
across
,
and
talking
about
all
sorts
and
kinds
of
subjects
in
the
most
unexpected
manner
,
so
that
it
was
impossible
to
discover
what
it
was
that
was
really
putting
him
out
.
At
moments
he
would
be
apparently
quite
bright
and
happy
;
but
as
a
rule
he
would
sit
moody
and
thoughtful
.
He
would
abruptly
commence
to
hold
forth
about
the
Epanchins
,
about
Lebedeff
,
or
the
prince
,
and
equally
abruptly
would
stop
short
and
refuse
to
speak
another
word
,
answering
all
further
questions
with
a
stupid
smile
,
unconscious
that
he
was
smiling
,
or
that
he
had
been
asked
a
question
.
The
whole
of
the
previous
night
he
had
spent
tossing
about
and
groaning
,
and
poor
Nina
Alexandrovna
had
been
busy
making
cold
compresses
and
warm
fomentations
and
so
on
,
without
being
very
clear
how
to
apply
them
.
He
had
fallen
asleep
after
a
while
,
but
not
for
long
,
and
had
awaked
in
a
state
of
violent
hypochondria
which
had
ended
in
his
quarrel
with
Hippolyte
,
and
the
solemn
cursing
of
Ptitsin
's
establishment
generally
.
It
was
also
observed
during
those
two
or
three
days
that
he
was
in
a
state
of
morbid
self-esteem
,
and
was
specially
touchy
on
all
points
of
honour
.
Colia
insisted
,
in
discussing
the
matter
with
his
mother
,
that
all
this
was
but
the
outcome
of
abstinence
from
drink
,
or
perhaps
of
pining
after
Lebedeff
,
with
whom
up
to
this
time
the
general
had
been
upon
terms
of
the
greatest
friendship
;
but
with
whom
,
for
some
reason
or
other
,
he
had
quarrelled
a
few
days
since
,
parting
from
him
in
great
wrath
.
There
had
also
been
a
scene
with
the
prince
.
Colia
had
asked
an
explanation
of
the
latter
,
but
had
been
forced
to
conclude
that
he
was
not
told
the
whole
truth
.
If
Hippolyte
and
Nina
Alexandrovna
had
,
as
Gania
suspected
,
had
some
special
conversation
about
the
general
's
actions
,
it
was
strange
that
the
malicious
youth
,
whom
Gania
had
called
a
scandal-monger
to
his
face
,
had
not
allowed
himself
a
similar
satisfaction
with
Colia
.

The
fact
is
that
probably
Hippolyte
was
not
quite
so
black
as
Gania
painted
him
;
and
it
was
hardly
likely
that
he
had
informed
Nina
Alexandrovna
of
certain
events
,
of
which
we
know
,
for
the
mere
pleasure
of
giving
her
pain
.
We
must
never
forget
that
human
motives
are
generally
far
more
complicated
than
we
are
apt
to
suppose
,
and
that
we
can
very
rarely
accurately
describe
the
motives
of
another
.
It
is
much
better
for
the
writer
,
as
a
rule
,
to
content
himself
with
the
bare
statement
of
events
;
and
we
shall
take
this
line
with
regard
to
the
catastrophe
recorded
above
,
and
shall
state
the
remaining
events
connected
with
the
general
's
trouble
shortly
,
because
we
feel
that
we
have
already
given
to
this
secondary
character
in
our
story
more
attention
than
we
originally
intended
.
The
course
of
events
had
marched
in
the
following
order
.
When
Lebedeff
returned
,
in
company
with
the
general
,
after
their
expedition
to
town
a
few
days
since
,
for
the
purpose
of
investigation
,
he
brought
the
prince
no
information
whatever
.
If
the
latter
had
not
himself
been
occupied
with
other
thoughts
and
impressions
at
the
time
,
he
must
have
observed
that
Lebedeff
not
only
was
very
uncommunicative
,
but
even
appeared
anxious
to
avoid
him
.
When
the
prince
did
give
the
matter
a
little
attention
,
he
recalled
the
fact
that
during
these
days
he
had
always
found
Lebedeff
to
be
in
radiantly
good
spirits
,
when
they
happened
to
meet
;
and
further
,
that
the
general
and
Lebedeff
were
always
together
.
The
two
friends
did
not
seem
ever
to
be
parted
for
a
moment
.
