“
Well
,
anyway
I

.
Before
you

I

”
And
he
ran
downstairs
,
clattering
with
his
heels
like
a
spring
-
rattle
.
Stephan
Arkadyevitch
had
gone
to
Petersburg
to
perform
the
most
natural
and
essential
official
duty
—
so
familiar
to
everyone
in
the
government
service
,
though
incomprehensible
to
outsiders
—
that
duty
,
but
for
which
one
could
hardly
be
in
government
service
,
of
reminding
the
ministry
of
his
existence
—
and
having
,
for
the
due
performance
of
this
rite
,
taken
all
the
available
cash
from
home
,
was
gaily
and
agreeably
spending
his
days
at
the
races
and
in
the
summer
villas
.
Meanwhile
Dolly
and
the
children
had
moved
into
the
country
,
to
cut
down
expenses
as
much
as
possible
.
She
had
gone
to
Ergushovo
,
the
estate
that
had
been
her
dowry
,
and
the
one
where
in
spring
the
forest
had
been
sold
.
It
was
nearly
forty
miles
from
Levin
’
s
Pokrovskoe
.
The
big
,
old
house
at
Ergushovo
had
been
pulled
down
long
ago
,
and
the
old
prince
had
had
the
lodge
done
up
and
built
on
to
.
Twenty
years
before
,
when
Dolly
was
a
child
,
the
lodge
had
been
roomy
and
comfortable
,
though
,
like
all
lodges
,
it
stood
sideways
to
the
entrance
avenue
,
and
faced
the
south
.
But
by
now
this
lodge
was
old
and
dilapidated
.
When
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
had
gone
down
in
the
spring
to
sell
the
forest
,
Dolly
had
begged
him
to
look
over
the
house
and
order
what
repairs
might
be
needed
.
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
,
like
all
unfaithful
husbands
indeed
,
was
very
solicitous
for
his
wife
’
s
comfort
,
and
he
had
himself
looked
over
the
house
,
and
given
instructions
about
everything
that
he
considered
necessary
.
What
he
considered
necessary
was
to
cover
all
the
furniture
with
cretonne
,
to
put
up
curtains
,
to
weed
the
garden
,
to
make
a
little
bridge
on
the
pond
,
and
to
plant
flowers
.
But
he
forgot
many
other
essential
matters
,
the
want
of
which
greatly
distressed
Darya
Alexandrovna
later
on
.
In
spite
of
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
’
s
efforts
to
be
an
attentive
father
and
husband
,
he
never
could
keep
in
his
mind
that
he
had
a
wife
and
children
.
He
had
bachelor
tastes
,
and
it
was
in
accordance
with
them
that
he
shaped
his
life
.
On
his
return
to
Moscow
he
informed
his
wife
with
pride
that
everything
was
ready
,
that
the
house
would
be
a
little
paradise
,
and
that
he
advised
her
most
certainly
to
go
.
His
wife
’
s
staying
away
in
the
country
was
very
agreeable
to
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
from
every
point
of
view
:
it
did
the
children
good
,
it
decreased
expenses
,
and
it
left
him
more
at
liberty
.
Darya
Alexandrovna
regarded
staying
in
the
country
for
the
summer
as
essential
for
the
children
,
especially
for
the
little
girl
,
who
had
not
succeeded
in
regaining
her
strength
after
the
scarlatina
,
and
also
as
a
means
of
escaping
the
petty
humiliations
,
the
little
bills
owing
to
the
wood
-
merchant
,
the
fishmonger
,
the
shoemaker
,
which
made
her
miserable
.
Besides
this
,
she
was
pleased
to
go
away
to
the
country
because
she
was
dreaming
of
getting
her
sister
Kitty
to
stay
with
her
there
.
Kitty
was
to
be
back
from
abroad
in
the
middle
of
the
summer
,
and
bathing
had
been
prescribed
for
her
.
Kitty
wrote
that
no
prospect
was
so
alluring
as
to
spend
the
summer
with
Dolly
at
Ergushovo
,
full
of
childish
associations
for
both
of
them
.
The
first
days
of
her
existence
in
the
country
were
very
hard
for
Dolly
.
She
used
to
stay
in
the
country
as
a
child
,
and
the
impression
she
had
retained
of
it
was
that
the
country
was
a
refuge
from
all
the
unpleasantness
of
the
town
,
that
life
there
,
though
not
luxurious
—
Dolly
could
easily
make
up
her
mind
to
that
—
was
cheap
and
comfortable
;
that
there
was
plenty
of
everything
,
everything
was
cheap
,
everything
could
be
got
,
and
children
were
happy
.
But
now
coming
to
the
country
as
the
head
of
a
family
,
she
perceived
that
it
was
all
utterly
unlike
what
she
had
fancied
.
The
day
after
their
arrival
there
was
a
heavy
fall
of
rain
,
and
in
the
night
the
water
came
through
in
the
corridor
and
in
the
nursery
,
so
that
the
beds
had
to
be
carried
into
the
drawing
-
room
.
There
was
no
kitchen
maid
to
be
found
;
of
the
nine
cows
,
it
appeared
from
the
words
of
the
cowherd
-
woman
that
some
were
about
to
calve
,
others
had
just
calved
,
others
were
old
,
and
others
again
hard
-
uddered
;
there
was
not
butter
nor
milk
enough
even
for
the
children
.
There
were
no
eggs
.
They
could
get
no
fowls
;
old
,
purplish
,
stringy
cocks
were
all
they
had
for
roasting
and
boiling
.
Impossible
to
get
women
to
scrub
the
floors
—
all
were
potato
-
hoeing
.
Driving
was
out
of
the
question
,
because
one
of
the
horses
was
restive
,
and
bolted
in
the
shafts
.
There
was
no
place
where
they
could
bathe
;
the
whole
of
the
river
-
bank
was
trampled
by
the
cattle
and
open
to
the
road
;
even
walks
were
impossible
,
for
the
cattle
strayed
into
the
garden
through
a
gap
in
the
hedge
,
and
there
was
one
terrible
bull
,
who
bellowed
,
and
therefore
might
be
expected
to
gore
somebody
.
There
were
no
proper
cupboards
for
their
clothes
;
what
cupboards
there
were
either
would
not
close
at
all
,
or
burst
open
whenever
anyone
passed
by
them
.
There
were
no
pots
and
pans
;
there
was
no
copper
in
the
washhouse
,
nor
even
an
ironing
-
board
in
the
maids
’
room
.
