Then he has once again got up on lap and parcel of land of the loafer on it.
Merian d not discuss her(it) with him. I seem, he отнесется hostile to any idea something undertake.
-- Then he will turn out to be out of job! -- has said Effingem. -- He must not show недоброжело, flowing into in them.
-- Yes. Well. Thank you.
-- Then say: .
-- Yes, Vayolet.
-- Here is so-that better.
Vayolet Everkrich was turned to Merian and a certain time intently глядела on it. Merian showerring declivity. She вымокла from cool брызг, reproaching waves concerned her(its) legs and frantic were rolled away back, underbiding pebble -- turn black, polished -- in enormous get dark mass under scaring spume of the took a look at dark занавешенные eye of the building. She has mumbled:
-- That will place this end?
-- Can be, his(its) death. Good night.

CHAPTER 8
Merian, unrelenting follows the move of their own thoughts, -- here really no nor one person, on which I could calculate -- in deal of the saving, I want to say. I thought about Jamesquickly and carefully has raised the bat. His(its) hands were small and very dirty; He has placed her(it) in box on stole. -- Naleyte itself whisky, Merian. You have brought the boooor locked, and enough has firmly declared:
-- Do Not understand that you bear in mind, miss Teylor.
-- No, understand. Forgive me for straightforwardness. Certainly, I know all about established to situations, and I mortally wanund creek, fallen by rows narrow deafening waterfall in dark clefts. He passed the ensemble an известняковых steps and poles, which first takeаased the ruins of some high-priced whim of the eighteenth age, but has later under> and . So we agreed to leave the company dirt-cheap.
This girl, Freda Darsi, with which you learned;learnt in school, too goes. She is useful us, since knows spanish. Must notice that she does not pented, and in ditto time has noticed itself: But has aloud said:
-- Possible, me to follow to make a stab all that in my power, and free you the most direct image or leave you at rred on big dry sheet and closed head. Then, the light has doved downwards.
Noulan has got up on lap, and Merian was lowered near by him. The Wire network, usually covered ponds, was skim.
-- For what this network?
-- hoanalysis have added the lifes a form and sense, that is why we worship him, but life itself has not neither forms, nor sense, to such conclusion I came presently, coming from own experience. Envy you, your abilities lf before five hours. The General tea was given in room miss Everkrich. Mrs List-Smith did not appear on this unnatural come alive to ceremonies, collected together Skottou, James and sometimes Noulana. For miss Everkrich presence stood nearly on knee. The Exaltation has alterred by sawing in merry, agitated, teasing expression. The Sky behind he became золотистым.
-- All, -- has said Effingem, watchful and sharply feelling chang do not know, in the same way either as you.
-- He became to correct the fly.
-- Accursed liar, here is you who, -- has mumbled Effingem. He never understood, what mode of behavior to choose wiife.
Momentarily he again замолчал, engulfed by emotional emotion, then has once again spoken:
-- He became then keep her(its) building, keep взаперти.
-- That has don -- Okay, child? -- has asked miss Everkrich. Merian, as well as not поняв, have encouraged her(it) or have punished, has mumbled:
-- About yes, thank you, yes.
-- Hanna already ready to take her(it), Dzherald?
-- No thought, she has reduced the light in lamp.
-- Well and well! And that we do here, in the dark?
-- Excuse me, -- has mumbled Merian. She always felt itself to be guilty in whitness of Vayolet Everkrich.
-- Does Not cost(sservant, and Merian has expected that he, must be, relative or friend to families. However than he here concerned with? Such is a big beautiful man, with youthful, become cool, powerful person, reminiscent military. He was a person with brown hair, thick climbing hairs evl.

Impossible separate her(it) from her(its) sufferings, this too in a complicated way, too refi to follow to talk with him about Hanne. These talks were too abstract, they belonged to to the world of the book Max, and Effingem felt with some getting cold misgiving that he does not want to carry the image Hanny in this world.

* PART FIRST *
CHAPTER 1
-- Far?
-- Fifteen miles.
-- There is here bus?
-- No.
-- Can be, I shall be able to hire the taxi or machine in village?
-- No.
-- But how I get there?
-- You may hire the horse, -- has advised someone, having been silent.
-- I not wit to go horseback, -- has said she with razdrazheniem. -- And in any event baggage beside me.
They gaped on it with sleepy curiosity. She has said that local inhabitants friendly, but these large slow people though and did not show to hostility, were are completely deprived отзывчивости. They have looked at it little in surprise, when she has said, where moves. Possible, in this deal?
Only presently she has understood that was foolishly and even impolite not to report exact time of its arrival; she introduced more worrying, romantic and more alarm to get its move. But when small закопченный train, which bring her(it) with stations Greytaun, запыхтев, escaped the вдали amongst s, having left her(it) in private with these silently взиравшими on it man, she, not expected such solitude and such scaring landscape, has felt itself helpless and nearly afraid.
-- Here is machine of mister Skottou, -- has said one of the mans, indicating вдаль.
She intently всмотрелась VWXbe drafty noonday haze in retreating declivities yellowish-sulphur of the, nacked and mo нументальной. The Strewn smooth length wall directed on thought about tumbling and изгибах unbelievably steep road. With approach лендровера men have backed out of it, having lost in small group, but when crew reached the station courtyard, all of these disappeared.
-- You Merian Teylor?
She has taken the becalming clasp high men, вышедшего from machine, with feeling newly found to confidence.
-- Yes. Excuse me that so was got. But as you have heard that I priekhala?
-- Since you have not reported, when will arrive, I have asked the stationmaster in Greytaune to search you and send the message with postal coach, which comes to Geyz for good half an hour before arrival of the train. I supposed that you not difficult will uznati. -- Herewith he smiled that did his(its) remark flattering.
Merian has felt in his(its) word simultaneously and rebuke, and care.
The Man she liked.
-- You mister Skottou?
-- Yes. I to follow to introduce. I Dzherald Skottou. So much for your belongings? -- He had a pleasing english pronunciation.
She has followed him to machine smiling, hope that produces the good impression. But has here occurred very foolish event, afraid her(it).
-- Sit. We shall Go, -- has said Dzherald Skottou.
When he has placed her(its) bags on back seat лендровера, inwardly, in semidarkness, she has seen that has took first for greater dog, but, having discerned, has understood that this was much pretty boy years fifteen.
The Boy did not leave, but bowed her because of baggage.
-- James Everkrich, -- has said Skottou, seating Merian on front seat. The Name nothing do not speak her, but, greeting him(it), she has thought that he, can be, her(its) future pupil.
-- I hope, you drank once fill tea in Greytaune? The Dinner will today late.
-- Skottou has wound the motor, and machine двинулась back to rising sinuous road.
-- Terribly prettily with your sides be joined to us in this God forgotten place.
-- Not at all. I am much intrigued, having arrived in these edges.
-- Your first arrival, suppose? The Seaside beautifully. Can be, even beautifully. But the land terrible. Distrust, there is although united sapling between Greytaunom and us.
While Merian, which has also noticed this, tried to think over, what transform this in value, лендровер has done the sharp tumbling, and before she appeared the sea. From surprise she вскрикнула.
The Sea glowed emerald-green colour, alternated dark-purple band. The Small tubercle island more dim verdure, cut fifty-fifty by shade, appeared from it in кольцах white spume. On measure that as machine, making steep povoroty, rose uphill, picture appeared and disappeared, framed crackinged tower sulphur s, which, what has considered Merian, having approached to him, cover were желтым очитком, saxifrage and rose bunch мха.
-- Yes, -- has said Skottou. -- Really beautifully. Am afraid, I too got accustomed hereto, but beside us so little visitors to look at all new eye. In minute you see the знаменитые bluffs.
-- Here lives much people?
-- Empty land. What see, here nearly no ground. But вдали from epidemic deathes by most marsh. The Nearest settling in Blekporte -- miserable fishing hamlet.
-- But realy in Geyze no villages? -- has asked Merian, and her(its) heart mildly quailled.
-- Presently no. Or hardly there is. There, there were building of the fishermans and hostelry. But above spread вересковая heath and lake, where people arrived поохотиться though this place never was high-class. Several years back terrible storm his(its) has destroyed. All are рыбачьи boats have carried away, but lake has flooded the valley. This is a sensational disaster, you could read about him. But presently вересковая heath changed as far back as one marsh, and even salmon has left thence.
Merian has thought with sudden presentiment of the trouble that, possible, Dzheffri was a rights. They together studied the card, on which Geyz was noted rather greater letter, however Dzheffri has in disapproval swung the head, but Merian had no doubt that this must be really civilized place with shop and пабом.
The Elated mood and despair so cruelly alternated in her(its) shower for the last month... Now she has understood, as naive was expect, is woke;waked an end of the journey will become the beginning of some happiness. Her(its) love to Dzheffri was not a first love, but she possessed power first feeling, as well as depth and circumstantiality, which come with experience. Finally, ока not so uzh young, her nearly thirty, and sensation to its former life as serieses changing each other window dressing has forced her(its) greedily greet that seemed finally event. Absolutely disappointed, she has met its loss with frantic rationality. When became clear that Dzheffri does not love and can not love her(it), she has solved that must leave.
She privykla -- can be, even too -- to its professions of the school tutoress. Now became obviously that one city, even one country can not contain their two. She adored this безжало the стностью in itself. But he adored else more that that has occurred afterwards: after she has stopped the attempts completely to dismiss his(its) from your mind, they have found finally-that general language and have felt the kindness to one another. She was generous -- took his(its) consolations and has felt the feeling of the painful satisfaction, appreciable his(its) readiness to fall in love in it. And exactly in that moment, when she with amazing has found that beginning, regain consciousness.
She has found him(it) absolutely accidentally, this curious small announcement. Dzheffri teased her(it), dialect that on she simply has produced an impression loud name and daydream about . Her(its) really attracted the name a Lock Geyz and remote, предполагаемо beautiful region.
. It Was Mentionned high salary, suspicious high, what has considered Dzheffri even though expect that this secluded place. He in general was against plan, from some feeling of jealousy partly and envy, seen her(its) so soon newly исцеленной and ready to adventure, -- Merian has noted this with sad tenderness to him.
Merian has written, having enumerated their own business quality, and has got the friendly letter from Dzheralda Skottou. Has Followed the correspondence, work she has offered, but she did not be able разузнать age and amount future pupil. Also her not to manage to understand on stiletto of mister Skottou, was he other, relative or servant mrs List-Smith, on behalf of which the correspondence.
Merian has turned the head and with curiosity has looked at Dzheralda Skottou. The Taciturn presence of the boy for back upset her(it). She much wanted be looked over back, but for this she was too self-conscious.
Skottou, certainly, seemed one of <дворянчиков> on terminology Dzheffri, immediately commenced to tease her(it). His(its) pronunciation and manners were indicative of that that he not servant, and Merian has expected that he, must be, relative or friend to families. However than he here concerned with? Such is a big beautiful man, with youthful, become cool, powerful person, reminiscent military. He was a person with brown hair, thick climbing hairs even tress concerned the reddish to weather-beaten neck. His(its) eye seemed understanding and clear.
Probably, him was for fourty, and he only began to get fat. However he produced an impression krepkogo, thick person, brawny and not deprived to graces. Merian has translated the look at his(its) greater волосатые hands on meat loaf and flinched. She came to mind thought -- разузнать, exists mrs Skottou.
-- But here is and bluffs.
Merian read about greater bluff from black sandstone. The Covered haze, presently they seemed коричневатыми, retreating rows enormous buttress so far as soon as can see the eye, изрезанные, vertical, exceedingly high, steeply coming down in boiling white waves. The Sea seemed here black, mingled with spume, as ink with cream.
-- They remarkable, -- has pronounced Merian. She has found broad get dark coast line repulsing and scaring. She never met the land, so hostile person.
-- Speak, they grandiose, -- has said Skottou. -- Again not me to judge. I too got accustomed to him.
-- But there is here suiting place for bathing? -- has asked Merian. -- I bear in mind, possible come down seaward?
-- Come down possible. But here nobody does not sail.
-- But why?
-- In this sea nobody does not sail. It too cool. And this sea kills the people.
Merian, being strong swimmer, has solved about itself that will don't care become to sail.
The Calling at sun sparkled in water and blinded the eye. She has translated the look to the land, nor for minute not forgetting about presence for back keeping quiet boy. Denuded известняковая desert retreated, rising clearly outlined ledge, forming low горбатые plateau, which lay one for others, -- enormous fossilized monster. Several miserable красноватых кустиков and low, biased eastward tree of hazel clung for, painted sun in pale-yellow sandy colour.
-- Miraculous type, not truth? -- has asked Skottou. -- Certainly, this landscape not all on taste. But you should see the bluffs at May or June. They complitly cover gentian. Even presently there much more plants, than seems at first thought. If attentively присмотритесь, you will find the strange small flowerses and плотоядные of the plant. There, there is very interesting caves and underground yard. You interest the geology, colour or than-нибудь like? I see, you have took with you binoculars.
-- No, I not geologist. I have thought that could понаблюдать for bird though and about them not plenty of know.
-- I too do not be aware of bird, except that, on which possible hunt, but you, certainly, meet here rare copies: ravens, golden eagles and the like. Hope, you love to walk.
-- Yes, much. But visualize, as here easy заблу диться.
-- Yes, in Skarrene little landmarks -- nearly no вертикалей, except мегалитов and дольменов. This very ancient land.
The Road has turned from epidemic deathes and вилась between low ledge of the.
The Unreliable гудроновое freeway became to move over to ухабистую, покрытую gravel road. Skottou скинул velocity. Ahead of something got dark. When approach turned out to be that this small group oslo. Amongst them was two small осленка, hardly more fox terrier. The Machine carefully approached to him, and they lazy have transgressed their own fine drumstick. Has Then followed the strange shout.
Merian took the opportunity to turn and look at boy. He smiled her необычайно pleasing smile, but she as well as has not been able to consider his(its) person.
-- Glorious зверюшки, -- has said Skottou, -- but well, they held a little farther from roads. Fortunately, here little transports. On the other hand, this means that people гоняют as devils. Here speak that you will meet only one machine at day, but this machine you задавит.
For tumbling of the road suddenly to appeared the big beautiful house. Amongst absolutely nacked landscape his(its) appearance in year haze struck and resemble(go)ed on mirage. He stood high on declivity, directed seaward, on cape of the vertical, long gray three-story house of the eighteenth age. Merian already saw several like buildings during journey, but without roofs always.
-- Lock Geyz?
-- Am afraid that no. This house is identified Rayders -- our next-door neighbor.
Geyz and вполовину not such enormous. But I hope, you will not be disappointed.
All господские to residences here lock are identified on traditions.
-- Who lives in Rayderse? -- Because of seen обжитости this was shown by her important.
-- Strange recluse, old scientist, by name Max Ledzhur.
-- He lives there one?
-- He lives one whole winter, not to count towards, certainly, servants. But winter here terrible, not each can stand her(it). Summer his(its) visit. Presently with him son and daughter. And else always arrives the person by name Effingem Kuper.
The Strange high sound ed beside it for back. This засмеялся the boy, and here Merian has understood that he, must be, senior, than she supposed.
This was not a laughter пятнадцатилетнего. She was looked over and has saw now more clear his(its) pale person of the spoiled cherub of the years nineteen, with lengthened head and sharp chin. Long шелковистые light curls drooped him on forehead, closing продолговатые light-blue смышленые of the eye, making his(its) look like dog. He has rejected the hairs back and, open eye, impish took a look at Merian, as it were transforming her(it) in соучастницу of its trick. Skottou continued:
-- This lad together with our small company consider for джентри on thirty miles around. А, James?
The Remark has sounded little sharply. Seemed, Skottou discontented laughter.
Merian thirsted to question, from who consisted . That zh, on grief or on joy, she will soon hear.
-- Am afraid, you have arrived in terrible hole, miss Teylor. Krestiyane here basically crazy, but rest else huzhe. -- Boy spoke the pleasing merry voice with a little observable local accent.
-- Never believe nor one his(its) word! -- воскликнул Skottou. -- He -- our small солнышко, but terrible fibber.
Merian forced засмеялась. She could not define the position James, in the same way either as place Skottou.
Skottou, as it is woke;waked guessed about her(its) thought, continued:
-- James was so good that has allowed me to lead the machine.
-- About, this his(its) machine? -- has asked Merian and then and there realized its mistake.
-- Not quite. The James our chauffeur, he tolerates us and веселит, when we fall into melancholy.
Merian has reddened. But as could she knows that James was a servant?
-- Thence begins the property. In minute you see on the left remarkable дольмен.
The Big house now was not seen because of известнякового ustupa. The Landscape became little soften, and dry herb, but possible, this was a bunch of the lichen, formed шафранные amongst s. Some черномордый ram with brilliant amber eye suddenly appeared on low, but behind on background greenish sky rose дольмен. Two enormous vertical stones supported third -- broad, powerfully extended in one side. This was a strange building with lopped edge, on- visible бессмысленнее, but terribly significant.
-- Nobody does not know, who has put(deliver)ed him(it), when, why and even as. These stone very ancient. But certainly, you scientist, miss Teylor, and understand in this much better, than ya. peat moss bog begins For дольменом and spreads on much miles. But this Geyz.
When machine became to come down, Merian has considered on opposite declivity of the hill big gray unattractive house with зубчатым by facade and high narrow window, which shone presently, reflecting light from epidemic deathes.
Built from local limestone house вырастал from landscape, in the same way either as дольмен, принадлежа and in ditto time not принадлежа surrounding world.
-- Am afraid, not much-that he having dyed, -- has said Skottou. -- De вятнадцатый age, certainly. Here stood the older house, but he has burned;burnted, either as majority others. The terrazzo remained From eighteenth age and stables. But here is our small stream. Presently she does not look very dangerous, not truth? But this village or, вернее that from she remained.
The Machine has slowed the move and загрохотала on long wooden bridge through channel with greater round пятнистыми stone. The Small trickle of water of the colour of the sherry weakly entrenched amongst stone and formed beside epidemic deathes extensive shoal, покрытую ripples and bordered by mess brilliant желтых algaes.
Several blanched small домишек snuggled the disorderly group to road. Merian has noticed that some of they stood without roofs. The People was not seen. Adown stretched the sea, absolutely gilded, bordered with both sides perpendicular black bluff, enormous height which now became much mark. Vdali was once again shown house Rayders. The Machine beginning to clamber on the other declivity of the valley.
Merian has suddenly covered terrible, weakenning panic. She much was afraid the arrival. And moreover, she was afraid the s and bluff, absurd дольмена and ancient mysterious things. Two her(its) sputnikov did not inspire more confidences, but seemed absolutely someone else and even sinister. She for the first time in lifes so has sharply felt itself in full insulation, jeopardized -- and momentarily a little has not lost the consciousness from terror.
She пролепетала, as it were breakwater about help:
-- I terribly feel nervous.
-- I know, -- has said Skottou. He smiled, not глядя on it, and once again his(its) word have sounded задушевно and pokrovitelistvenno. -- No need. You will soon feel itself here as building. We are folk harmless.
She has once again heard for back piercing boyish laughter.
The Machine passed the tinkled загородку for live-stock, въехала under enormous зубчатую arch. The Gatehouse with empty gaping window and осевшей by roof stood in desolation amongst dishevelled ветром of the shrubbery. Uneven sprinkled gravel road, destroyed by rain and weed, having described arc, has turned to the left, upstairs -- to house. After s land here unexpectedly turned out to be humid and black, coated scrap brightly-green herb. Flowering fuchsia
the испещрила red spot declivity of the hill, заросший dark ruffled bush of the rhododendron. The Road has turned once again, and house to appeared quite beside.
Merian has considered him(it). The Stone balustrade surrounded with all sides terrazzo, поднятую on peat ground high. Were they At arm's length found sulfuric stone wall and разросшийся the garden with several spruces and chilean араукарией. The Machine stopped, and Skottou has switched off the motor.
Merian has stunned suddenly approached silence. But mad panic has abandoned her(it). She was frightened presently by usual image, feelling pain in belly, shyness, its tongue-tie, with terror realizing begin entering in new world.
Skottou and James have stood her(its) belongings. Not raising eye to intently смотрящим on it window, she has followed the man on terrazzo on stair from crackinged, поросшей weed paving stone, then -- on big разукрашенной stone gallery and VWXbe drafty revolving glass door. Inwardly also reigned the silence, was dark and enough coldly, was felt the сладковатый scent old занавесок and stale dampness. Two cockeyed горничные, in high white lacy cap worn indoors by elderly women, with black licentious hair, подошли take her(its) baggage.
The James escaped in the dark, but Skottou has said: -- Suppose, you khotite to wash and bring itself in order. Do Not hurry. Certainly, usually we do not change to dinner, anyway not seriously. The Girls conduct you in room. Possible, you want to come down through half an hour or so. I shall wait on terrazzo.
Gornichnye already carried the baggage upstairs. Merian has followed them in semidarkness. The Sexes basically were not cover коврами, they were jarred, squeaked and gave oneself up to the echo, on head hunged the soft drapeses, in passage -- занавески, light transparent fabrics hung down in door and corners, цепляясь for sleeve. Finally her(its) carried in room, illuminated by evening light.
Gornichnye escaped.
She подошла to window. Before she was opened extensive type on valley, spread before Raydersa, and on sea, it was now blue-grey, as feather of the peacock, but bluffs, black as jet-black, retreated вдаль, there, where again become are seen distant island on background рыжевато-brown sky. She has looked and вздохнула, having forgotten about its emotion.
The Case with newcomer by binoculars hunged beside it on neck. Still absorbed by observation, she has taken out him(it). This was an exciting toy. Merian has directed him(it) on valley. Extraordinary close into view suddenly appeared the wooden bridge, and magic circle slowly двинулся upwards on hill on direction to house opposite. She approached to wall, distinguishing uneven surface stone where calling at sun озарило his(its) scythe a ray and has rejected the short shade; but then unexpectedly appeared the balustrade, exactly such, as in Geyze, but for her locked window. She has slowly translated the binoculars, having stopped on group bright decorated chair and white table with bottle on him. At the following moment she has seen the man. He stood on terrazzo and looked straight her in eye in binoculars, directed on Geyz. Merian has dropped its binoculars and dashed from window away. The Panic returned.
CHAPTER 2
-- Mrs List-Smith not yet ready to take you, -- has said Dzherald Skottou. -- Wake good to wait here while I shall find rest.
Merian not long detained upstairs. Having Recovered from scare and bystro having examined room, she has valued the writing-table of the eighteenth age, has felt thanks for empty varnished book regiments, she has delivered the pleasure old-time broad calico easy chairs; the enormous bed with copper handle, cast dim gold(en), her(its) has put on the guard, but yelling colour engravings on wall have simply terrified, and she counted on that nobody will not object if she their will take away. Finding on washstand from green and brownish-wanted glased tile hot water in цветном pitcher and basin, she quickly washed. But when dared to leave in silent stuffy corridor, has found beside уборную with broad stay-at-home from mahogany, which, seemed, kept the heat one, from generation in generation восседал on him; the broad quite intelligent chalice decorated festoon colour, harmonized with her(its) pitcher and basin, and Merian did not know, rejoice this or be distressed.
Quickly having changed, she has peered into pretty зеркальце in frame from satin tree. The Big mirror was not. Merian has powdered its long nose and зачесала back short direct dark hairs. Her(its) person with too large devil was not , but, supposed she, could descend for or at least once for . But follow to think and about expression. Dzheffri often spoke that she looks gloomy and aggressive. She it is impossible look so presently. Once upon a time he has said: Well, has solved she that here nor occurred, she will take all this with full and limiting attention. Possible, era of the realism begins, and she was a right, supposing that with her(its) love to Dzheffri life preludes ended. With suddenly streamed by feeling terrible solitude and anguish on expensive vanished world, she has felt, as desperately wants to become necessary and loved inhabitant Geyza. She has collected all its courage, has added the person calm expression and came down downwards.
Skottou entered her(it) in greater гостиную on the street floors, now she there stood one, pulling at unlit cigarette and not at all wanting see . In this warm september evening in room was coldly, gloomy and plowed the past. Two high lifting windows connected With solar terrazzo room, reaching short of flap, and big glass door -- all задрапировано and obscured strip white петельчатого, not too clean kruzheva. The Thick red занавески, hard as каннелированные pilasters, источали dusty incense; yellowish-brown rug mildly puffed on, when on he approached. The Dark building of the mahogany, nearly reaching tarnished ceiling, consisted of mirror and reconverging rows regiment and stands, on which crowded the small copper knick-knacks. The Big black grand piano was surrounded войском small table, covered low lowered вышитыми velvet tablecloth. The вещицы here and there shone Amongst this disorder from граненого glass, but bookcases with commanding door kept on their own regiment rows томов in cover телячьей skins. The Disorder in room did not allow to guess about her(its) purpose. The Trace of the presence детей was not felt.
Merian was carefully looked over around. In ray evening sun догорали желтоватые twilight, stood the silence. And all seemed -- for room observe. She nearly was afraid to find someone, silent costing in the corner.
Merian noiseless двинулась in quest of matches to light the cigarette. On one of the velvet tables lay tarnished спичечная box, but match in her was not. She has searched for around door breaker, has not found and a little has not torn off the отклеившийся piece обоев. She came to mind that in Geyze, certainly, no electric light. To with средоточиться on than-that and becalm the nerves, she подошла to bookcase and tried to read the names of the books, however glass was too dirty, but room -- dark. She tried to open the closet.
-- He locked, -- раздался the voice for her(its) back nearly.
Merian dread flinched and turned. The High woman close подошла to her. Merian could not consider her(its) person. The Hairs of the stranger, looked grey or colourless, were joined in bunch. On her was a dark gown with white lacy collar and cuff.
The Heart Merian забилось so powerfully that she a little did not fall.
-- Mrs List-Smith?
Has Afar sounded the becalming voice Dzheralda Skottou:
-- Miss Everkrich. Miss Everkrich -- miss Teylor.
The Flow of the light in дверном opening increased. Entered three чер новолосые горничные, держа greater oil lamps with opaque creamy glass decorated ceilng, and have placed them on tables. The Room changed: became less, мрачнее, figures priblizilis" to one another. Now Merian has been able to consider miss Everkrich. Skinny, with narrow transparent person, high cheekbone, маслянистыми light-blue eye and big fine ртом. The Colour hair, either as age, was still it is difficult to define: her could be as fourty, so and sixty. She intently looked at Merian, without smile, mildly frowning, with the tension -- though and little scaring, but not hostile.
-- Miss Everkrich, certainly, sister James, -- has said Skottou, -- his(its) senior sister, practically ma.
-- Do Not understand, why you speak , Dzherald, -- with indignation has noticed mrs Everkrich, still attentively considering Merian, -- and why afford to mention about my age at stranger.
-- Well, well, will calm down, Vayolet! -- has said Skottou. Seemed, he little are numbed her(its) prisutstviem. -- Anyway, miss Teylor not stranger. She one of us or soon will her.
Miss Everkrich minute was silent, has then finished to study the person Merian.
-- Poor child! Dzherald, where key from this closet? Miss Teylor wants to peek in it.
-- No, no, do not worry, -- запротестовала Merian.
-- Have a no presentations, -- has answered Skottou. -- Insofar I know, he never was opened.
-- His(its) were to open, expensive to place there books. The Key can be in one of these copper vases. I seem, I remember that he there was. Be kind, get them, please.
With obedient type Skottou began to remove one for other copper embellishment and put on table, but miss Everkrich in the interim extracted of them mountain of the buttons, paper scrap, окурков, rubber-band tapes and something reminding gold(en) sovereign, which she has hidden in pocket. Finally key was found in basket of the copper burro, and miss Everkrich has stretched his(its) frozen from embarrassment Merian. She has turned the key in lock and has done the type that attentively considers contents of the bookcase since this, seemed, from she expected.
-- Okay, child? -- has asked miss Everkrich. Merian, as well as not поняв, have encouraged her(it) or have punished, has mumbled:
-- About yes, thank you, yes.
-- Hanna already ready to take her(it), Dzherald?
-- No else.
Miss Everkrich suddenly has firmly compressed the hand Merian and has her(its) вплотную to windowpane so on shoulder of the girl легла lacy занавеска, from which came the dry dusty scent. For window still was an early evening, gold(en) and orange-purple paints of the sundown whimsical were transfused on by sea. But under studying glance miss Everkrich Merian has not sweeped away to conduct the eye from her(its) person, illuminated presently as on small scene.
-- What you вероисповедания, child my?
-- I неверующая, -- she has felt itself to be guilty in this, but else and in that that passionately wants to free its hand. She has thrown the занавеску with shoulder.
-- Can be, we show you little strange at first, but soon you will find its place amongst us. Remember if you something will be necessary in this house, address to me. We do not disturb mrs a List-Smith on trifle.
-- Hanna will take her(it) presently, -- раздался afar voice Skottou.
Miss Everkrich, still kept hand Merian, has mildly compressed her(it):
-- We are soon met once again, Merian. But later you will become to name me Vayolet.
Her(its) tone has forced to sound these word nearly as threat. She has released the hand Merian. Having Mumbled some word to thanks, Merian has hurried away. She has found such attention nearly unbearable and with relief was turned to friendly figure Skottou.
And, as it is woke;waked on purpose changing tonality, Skottou active has said:
-- Well here is. You nothing here have not left, no bags or what- нибудь else? We are this room use нечасто, and sometimes she can be locked. But now follow me.
They found oneself in hall, where orange light, penetrating outside, has painted the interior radiant glare. In this moment with terrazzoes through glass door entered some man.
-- About, Denis, this you.
-- Yes, sir.
-- Has Arrived miss Teylor. Miss Teylor, this Denis Noulan.
Past passed the chambermaid, держа one of the lamps. Then drawing room was once again sunk in darkness. Under fleeting light Merian has seen the low person, approximately her(its) growing, kept big zhestianoi container. Merian has haved time to to notice the dark hairs and saphire- blue eye typical of this terrain. Spoke he with strong local accent and looked, as she was shown, rather gloomy and numbed.
Skottou has having continued:
-- Denis -- my very capable salesman. He leads our count and tries to insure us from losses, but, Denis? Denis something буркнул.
-- That you there добыл, Denis? Or, вернее, who?
The Persons have stretched the tin-plate container, and Merian with surprise has found in water rather greater gold(en) rybku. .
-- Strawberry nose is going to to take the salty bath?
-- Yes, ser. -- Person did not smile. Skottou, smiling for two, has said:
-- Denis -- great fisherman. You should tomorrow look his(its) fish ponds. This is one of our little of the amusements. But now go, mrs List-Smith waits.
In strong emotion Merian followed Skottou upwards on nearly dark stairway, past lamps, shone dimly, as in vault, and further while they not подошли to big double door, which he has quietly opened. Fell into get dark front, and Merian has seen ahead of strip of the golden light. Dzherald Skottou has knocked.
-- Enter.
He respectful entered, and Merian has followed him.
The Room was brightly lit ensemble of the lamps, but blinds задернуты though on street was still light. Merian was blinded by soft flow of the light and is numbed by awe.
-- Here is she, -- has said Skottou undertone. Merian двинулась on made someone look fat ковру toward whomever in far-ends of the room.
-- А, well.
Merian expected to see the elderly woman. But person, appeared before her, was young, hardly senior her(it), and unless absolutely beautiful, that, anyway, strangely charming. The Broad pale freckled person, careless node reddish-gold(en) hair and eye nearly such colour.
No make-ups. The Handing down free pleat raiment from вышитого wanted silk could be both evening dresses, and robe.
Merian has shaken turn white веснушчатую hand, протянутую her, and probormotala that very pleased. She has caught familiar, races пространившийся all over scent, which until could define; in room was felt emotion, and not only her(it).
-- As splendid that you have arrived here, -- has said mrs a List-Smith.
-- I much hope that you will not remonstrate against captivities here, with us, вдали from the whole light.
-- I too hope, -- has answered Merian, but, having felt that this has sounded crudely, has added: -- Nobody will not remonstrate against captivities in such charming meste. -- has sounded also impolite so she has having continued; -- In general will not be a captivity.
Standing for her(its) back Skottou has called:
-- Hanna.
Merian leaned;leant to wall that these two could see each other.
-- I suppose, you want to dine with miss Teylor?
-- Yes, please, Dzherald if possible. Do Not ask you Vayolet? I do not want to cause the enxiety, but this was much well, I certain that miss Teylor hungry. Not so, miss Teylor?
Merian, feelling itself never mind, has mumbled:
-- Yes, only most small size.
Has Followed the short silence, then Skottou bowed and left. Mrs List-Smith has said:
-- Am afraid, we strange conduct here time. Us nobody does not entertain, except us themselves. I much hope that your journey passed successfully.
Probably, it was too boring while you not доехали before mountains. Settle down поближе to огню. The Evening already cool.
The Weak peat fire blazed in большом heater; the graceful porcelain stood on fire board of the black marble. In room was an ensemble mirror, some of them beautiful; quite was not a pictures and did not be felt even attempts to decorate the interior. Two copper vases with пампасовой by herb and высушенным лунником, similars, stood here already long ago. The Room seemed heavy- old-fashioned, either as lower, but, can be, making habitable. Merian has felt itself penned in threatening circle faded кресел, bound book and paper. On writing-tables, the upholstered skin, with strewn on him manuscript, she has found the photography a men in the form.
The Girl was joined to its landlady, been situated beside fire, and they have attentively looked the friend on friend.
Merian has found that mrs List-Smith was barefoot, and immediately became clear that her(its) wanted raiment -- robe, simultaneously appeared the impression what-that careless: hairs dishevelled, ногти not much clean;scratch;peel, charming person, a little tired, little painful, skin shines. Merian has then and there thought -- not больна mrs List-Smith, immediately appreciable feeling of the blame and hostility. In ditto time she has felt the relief and sudden liking. This essence was harmless.
-- I hope, you liked your room? If you it is necessary anything, without fall ask. Sit, please. Hope, you will drink little whiskies.
-- Spasibo. -- Now Merian has understood that in room plowed viski. -- But now you should tell little about itself. Suppose, and you want to assign the questions. This place, must be, seems you very strange.
-- I all time think about my pupil, -- has said Merian. -- Possible, me to follow to ask about them earlier. Mister Skottou nothing have not said in their own letter.
-- About your pupil?
-- I bear in mind young people, детей, which must shall teach.
Such embarrassment appeared In eye mrs List-Smith that Merian испугалась. Really has occurred some absurd mistake?
Mrs List-Smith, having lingered with answer, пододвинулась to carafe with whisky.
-- Here no детей, miss Teylor. Mister Skottou to follow to explain.
You will concern with with me.
CHAPTER 3
Expensive Merian, I hoped to send you letter so that you has been able to get his(its) immediately what will arrive on new place, but absolutely mired in exam and in deal of the Campaigns. Besides, unknown, how much time will take that letter дошло before your distant edge. I am помечу day and hour of the departure, and if you report me exact time of the reception, we shall be able to provide our correspondence in system. Hope to get from you answer on vozmozhnosti sooner. Examine presently some books and cards and, when I will have a free minute, составлю for you protozoa routes. There, there is some prehistorical достопримечательности, which absolutely necessary to look. By the way, report;inform;tell;say, not to send you your bicycle? I consider that you has ed the fool, having left without it.
I envy the твоему an птичьему society more, than mundane encirclement.
Apropos, about the first: I have right before packed and tomorrow leave;quit;get out; that two books about bird, which you interested, as well as book about sink and else one about известняковых sytucture (the most interesting and curious). Not to refuse, implore;, прими as gift from me! As to mundane life, hope, you enjoy her, but твои garbs have successfully born test. With my modest standpoint, your blue gown approaches to any mate. What there пабы and можешь you their visit? And most main: that for children there? Hope, they not feeble-minded. If you unbearably, give me to know, and I go;i)suit telegram that who- нибудь moderate;temper.
I write in a hurry, since must go to governing the Campaigns on usual daily work. Hope, you will there be lucky, expensive Merian, and you anymore to come to be agitated because of me, good-for-nothing. But, on the other hand, not forget me! Beside person so little persisting friends, and I can not dispense with you.
I time to run. Apropos, on coffee evening party in Campaigns I have met толстую reprobate type девчонку, by name Freda, which confirms that knows you, and persists that I have sent you regard that I and do. The Gosh, as I have tired, but semester only begins. Well that you has avoided this.
Floreas, and give me to be aware of худшем
Always loving Dzheffri.
Nice, nice Dzhef, Gosh, before what I was pleased to get your letter.
Not that to here was much bad, but terribly lonesome, I even beginning to forget after five days of stay, who ya. do Not understand, as local inhabitants do not come off wit. But allow me to tell all on order.
First of all -- here no детей! It Is Considered that I must mrs List-Smith itself that is to say read off her little on- french, as well as, can be, concern with and italian. I suppose that him indeed was needs <компаньонка>, but give announcement about to find well formed girl. I this has valued and do not feel itself deceived. Mrs List- Smith young, beautiful and looks some обреченно- animated.
There is here also amateur поохотиться, by name Skottou (one, has written me), he rather pleasing, but simultaneously and unexceptional. Seems, he controlling property and friend to families. Puts on the guard and even several scares me woman on surnames Everkrich, some sort of housekeepers (here all ), as I suppose -- some poor родственница mrs K. -- S. Her(its) brother James Everkrich works the chauffeur. First I thought that he usual chauffeur, but, see, no, since he relative. Can Not understand, exists mister List-Smith, but about him never speak so I suspect that mrs widow. Else here there is sullen small clerk, by name Naulan, and ensemble dark-skinned a little slanting maid, talking with inconceivable ak cent. One of they have brought your letter at friday, in 4. 30. Have Not nor remotest idea, as it has got here, this simply prodigy. Please, write more often! Here no no grandeurs! -- big викторианский house, but around nothing, except several cottages and else one residences. Nearest паб in Blekporte, and there do not let the womans! Fortunately, here in Geyze whisky to pour the river. All much пьют and early go to bed. If I shall begin to come off wit, that дам to you to know.
I must go to bathe and so finish. My duties not very difficult! I even hope that anyone will ulcerate the desire to teach me riding go;drive. (On, present! Here, there is several horses. The other day I saw mister Skottou and James, скачущих horseback. Has Felt envy! ) This Freda, must be, Freda Dersi, glorious calm girl, and quite not распутница. I learned;learnt with her in school. send;transmit;конт)transfer;issue;hand over to Her too regard. Hope, in Campaigns all successfully. Presently I came to mind that I did not see nor one newspapers thereafter, what has arrived here, and not in the least do not long for. Possible, I впечатлительна and subject to influences. All this seems now such distant, with the exclusion of you, so зримо being present in your letter and in my heart. No more no emotions. Not беспокойся on me, expensive.
Embrace you and shall soon write once again.
With love M.
P. S. Mister Skottou speaks that here there is golden eagles, but I not certain, can he hear the bird, which it is impossible wound and eat!
Merian has finished the letter, has sealled the envelope and became to think, as his(its) send. Adown, in hall, stood the old-fashioned box for letters with inscription, reporting information on postal rateses fifth-year давности, but she did not dare to throw in it its message without additional revision. About this she intended to ask beside James for tea. Then she parcel of land its bathing suit.
Most medium of the day. The Inhabitants Geyza after lunch isolated in their own room, and their was not before five hours audible. Veroyatnee whole, they have rescued.
Merian was amazed that, how much time conduct in VWVappear in the dreams inhabitants of the building.
Lay here around ten: two passed evening contract, walking on terrazzo in eleven, she did not see nowhere nor огонька.
The Feeling of the respect to хозяевам of the building did not allow Merian to confess in its disillusionment. She really expected greater. Constantly being in quest of what-that unusual, she got lost in guesswork, what live. She never managed to the ful to show its индивидуальность. Yes and society, in which she revolved hitherto, did not promote this. She knew that she lacked to graces, concinnity. Though outwardly she saved the tranquillity and self-restraint, in shower felt itself wrongly humiliated and afraid. At minute of the intent self-awareness Merian often asked itself: was not her(its) longing to more firm social position by whole only snobbishness, and could not find the exact answer. Dzheffri всецело belonged to her(its) accustomed world and actually was one of his(its) rulers; at first her(its) love to he seemed the justification of this world and her(its) most. Under his(its) influence her(its) nature, certainly, заиграла new verge. But after Dzheffri she exuded the everyday life such empty, but its daily bread such bitter that old полуосознанное desire what-that absolutely other превра тилось in madness, which has spurred her(its) dash away away and which she with such joy and delight has met.
Seemed, came the end her(its) застенчивости. The Parents Merian byli very timid people, they have quietly lived the life in small borough Midlende, where her(its) father kept the grocery commissary. The First memory Merian were connected with commissary. Sometimes she seemed that her(its) brought there in carton with inscription . No doubt, one of they served her crib. She was a single ным child. Merian loved their own parents and simultaneously was ashamed of them. In her(its) shower constantly hid the awe that she will finally become to look like them. She was, certainly, capable girl, but in this instance this nothing do not signify. The University became for it sooner competition, than social phenomena, and this too because of her(its) застенчивости.
So she thought about Geyze as about begin what-that absolutely new, and if and was at the first moment disappointed, that not for want of церемонности or companies and amusements, but because of some insecurity in most place. It why-that seemed her strange and made nervous her(it). His(its) silence was sooner aimless, than calm, his(its) sleepy stretching routine struck sooner what- that emptiness, than feudal serenity, which Merian still tried to feel. The Days stretched infinitely, and their monotony already seemed her absurd, as it is woke;waked it was innate, rather then благоприобретенным by characteristic. This was some tractile, hardly heard music. The Day began at nine o'clocks with morning meal, which she brought cockeyed and taciturn chambermaid. Around ten thirty she left to mrs List-Smith and remained there part morning. They so far simply chattered and discussed that to honour. Mrs List-Smith although and was more educated and quick-witted, than seemed at first thought, but quite did not hurry to proceed with occupation, and Merian, whose desire to work always was great, did not speed up the move an event.
The Lunch too passed in solitude whereupon she was given itself before five hours. The General tea was given in room miss Everkrich. Mrs List-Smith did not appear on this unnatural come alive to ceremonies, collected together Skottou, James and sometimes Noulana. For miss Everkrich presence Merian had especial importance, seemed, she perceived this ceremony as statement to importance its dug. Skottou was mildly condescending, James giggled, but Noulan kept quiet. Merian talked with some effort, and all she anxiously waited the drinkings of tea. This although little drew near her(it) to mundane life, what Geyz while could her to offer. Around poles thirty she returned to mrs List- Qмит, which by then began to drink the whisky, and remained with her before supper in eight thirty. In nine thirty mrses List- Smith already yawned and was ready to VWVappear in the dreams.
Such a was not very merry circle of the deals and persons, with which she touched. Late in the night could be the moments, when Merian why- that felt the awe though panic, covered her(it) at the first day, never was repeated. The Inhabitants Geyza were not that that boring, but in all them, even in Skottou, was present some enxiety, which, probably, was connected with уединенностью of the place. However, two belongings much supported her(it).
First, evident curiosity: in большом, sunk in itself house a great deal provided in confusion, and she still could not define the relations of the inhabitants to one another. Rayders too arose the interest, her(its) little surprised that hitherto nobody nothing have not said her about nearby house, besides that Skottou has reported her at the first day.
The Second circumstance, which supported her(it) in else greater degree, -- feeling that mrs List-Smith very pleased her(its) presence. Merian felt enormous need to love and be loved, and she was ready to become attached to its landlady, which has found touching soft and self-conscious.
Exactly this застенчивость, together with some strange insecurity in itself and raised hitherto barrier between them. To the best advantage Merian hit it off with James, they much laughed and teased each other. Dzherald Skottou in significant measure occupied her(its) thoughts, but did not add her new material for cogitations. She has found that shows raised sensitivity in contact with him while he was perfectly attentive, but official. But force itself to love Vayolet Everkrich she at all could not.
Before tea remained else more hour, and house was sunk in sleepy silence.
Merian little guilty, on tiptoe came down on step, неся the bathing accesories in locked bag that nobody has not disturbed her(its) plan. She did not yet come down seaward and only today felt itself it is enough certain to by itself уйти from building; before this were only short walks thereabouts. Now she has solved that knows the best lowering to bay, since probed deep into panorama in binoculars. In wall, surrounded garden, was two entries on the part of epidemic deathes. The South gates on top of the bluff, but north left on steep каменистую lane, which downwards downhill between seedy ветром bush to fuchsias, covered by lichen boulder and barhatnyh, but plucked area of the herb. When Merian got through gates, but then quickly, as goat, came down on stony trope, warmed the sun, but sea, opened before her, was pale-azure. Sooner, than thought, she turned out to be beside foots of the declivity and approached to dark-brown ручью, теку щему on round gray stone. The Village presently hardly loomed behind it, bluffs высились on both sides of the bay, but Geyz and Rayders escaped for изгибом of the hill. Merian has lingered and прислушалась to light, as ringing the campanula, журчанию creek and remote blow of the waves about coast.
The Creek slithered and rolled вдаль, появляясь and disappearing amongst greater крапчатых stone, twinkling and flashing up on sun. Sometimes seemed that he left under the land, then appeared as small waterfall or was poured in small inlet. Suddenly he has left the stone behind and has noiseless slid down in deep cleft in dark peat ground, having run now quicker on direction seaward. Merian, thoughtless followed by him, suddenly with awe about наружила that her(its) legs sink in the land, soft, as fruit candy. She was ed and, a little not потеряв loafers, has rolled up to the left, where from the land emerged the stone. Passed several dark warm viscous inlets, bordered acerbic golden-yellow herb, and finally found oneself on narrow, coated by pebble coast beside foots of the bluff, on which stood Geyz. Passed little onward. Her(its) heart powerfully fought.
Blackenning wall of the bluff, mildly поблескивая, is weighed out rose behind it.
The Sun knocked in his(its) top straight, but gloomy shade from it sinister hung over head. The Coast with sand and gravel beside basis of the bluff and black pebble beside water too was dark. Merian never was afraid the epidemic deathes. She did not understand that comes of her presently. The Thought about that to fall into water, has forced her(its) shudder and caused the sensation simultaneously repulsing and огорчительно pleasing, he was similar to sexual emotion. She suddenly became gravely to breathe, happened to to stop and do several deep even breaths. She threw the bag on sand and подошла to краю the epidemic deathes.
Overhand it seemed calm and serene. It and presently looked rather calm beside most coast. But in some twenty yards fluent waves were going to in enormous grosses and with sudden frantic power were worn down friend on friend, вбирая in itself coast stone and throwing them with raspy roar on bereg. The Sea now under bright sunshines for dick is snowed- white завихрением spume looked ink-black. Merian всматривалась in an edge coated by pebble. Seemed that coast came down downwards much steeply, creating undertow, each running away wave with frantic power was soaked up under high comb following. Merian was conceived that to do. Then she has raised the head and has seen the person.
The Person has surfaced on water straight opposite it, just behind that place, whence began to rise the waves. As soon as she глянула, it escaped.
Merian afraid вскрикнула. At the following moment she has understood that this, certainly, the whole only seal. Never she did not see their so close. The Seal once again appeared, подняв its shining wet antique head, look like собачью, and has looked at it their own greater proturberant eye. There were are seen his(its) moustache, ajar dark mouth. He lazy held on surfaces, being outside of досягаемости greater waves and устремив on it its senile indifferent glance. The Animal was and touching, and scaring simultaneously. Merian it was shown some предзнаменованием. But charmed seal her(its) not to fall into sea or, opposite, invited, she could not solve. In minute he has swum away, having left her(its) trembling ashore.
Merian now was afraid to sail, but all dared to fall into water. She only it is necessary was boldly dash and преодолеть shock wave, avoiding undertow. She could return on whitewater, give him to throw itself on pebble I quickly вскарабкаться upstairs. This was a question of the pride. She vaguely felt that if will presently show the faintheartedness before sea element, in she will appear some dog-leg, through which can penetrate other, the most worst awes.
Still tremor, she begin awkwardly get undressed.
In bathing suit she approached to whirlled краю. The Stone pricked to foots, was it is difficult to stand on showerring declivity. She вымокла from cool брызг, reproaching waves concerned her(its) legs and frantic were rolled away back, underbiding pebble -- turn black, polished -- in enormous get dark mass under scaring spume of the following wave. Merian ed and gravely дыша crawlled away back, already wet through. Touch of water was icy. She on tried once again to get up, supporting sleazy balance on showerring avalanche stone.
-- Hey, you!
She has jumped back and, absolutely exhausted, sowed;sown. Approached kakoi-that person. She sat ashore while man not подошел to her, but has then got up and has tossed the towel on shoulder. The Sea and stone so boomed that was it is difficult to hear his(its) word. Seemed, this local inhabitant.
-- You must not bathe in this sea. Nearly in tear, Merian, рассерженная and solved that has wrong understood him(it), has asked:
-- But why? Realy this private coast? I came from lock Geyz.
-- You must not here bathe, -- has said the man, as it is woke;waked not hearing her(it). Possible, so and bylo. -- You immediately утонете.
-- Not утону! -- has objected Merian. -- I much well plavayu. -- But, предчувствуя else deeper awe, she already knew that is run.
-- Have Last week sunk two germans, -- has said muzhchina. -- They sailled around Blekporta. We hitherto search for their tela. -- He spoke in singsong voice, with local accent, with feeling own value. He looked at Merian ancient estranged eye and has reminded her seal.
-- Well, -- short threw Merian and was unscrewed that he has soon left.
-- And do not stroll here too long. The Tide comes by leaps and bounds. You do not want to clamber on bluff, not so?
He has left.
Merian, muddling in cloth, begin be dressed. The Hot tears blinded the eye. The Sun escaped, and has blowouted the cool wind.
-- Regard.
Merian has quickly pressed the towel to person, has tightened the завязку of the swimsuit and was turned. Once again to her someone approached, this time woman.
-- Regard, -- was called back Merian.
The Woman was dressed in tweed suit of the honey colour and kept something like high crosier in hand. There was obviously, even previously than she has spoke once again that she belongs to to <джентри>.
-- You miss Teylor?
-- Yes.
-- But I Alisa Ledzhur. -- She has stretched the hand.
Merian has shaken her(it), nearly immediately having recalled that Ledzhur -- surname хозяев Raydersa. Skottou has said that there is son beside oldster ( the daughter.
-- I so pleased with you poznakomitisya. -- However she felt sorry that is not dressed and does not look more fittingly. The Miserable towel on her(its) shoulder was rinsed on winds.
Alisa Ledzhur was a high beautiful голубоглазой by woman with short золотистыми hair, direct nose and broad, well outlined лбом. She, see, was for thirty. She firmly stood in its tweed skirt, enveloped legs, in humid rough shoe, deeply sunk in pebble, and seemed thick, sure of itself. Near by her Merian, transgressed with one legs on another, has felt itself too frail. She tried not to knock the teeth.
-- I heard that you have right before arrived, yes? -- has asked Alisa Ledzhur.
-- Yes, I quite do not know this region, but me he much on liked.
-- But you not too lonesome?
-- Here not plenty of collocutors, -- has said Merian and has then added, as it were защищаясь: -- Though all in Geyze me much like! -- Phrase has sounded without due persuasiveness.
-- Gm! Well well. Can, you will come to visit us?
-- With pleasure, -- has said Merian, having found that she likes straightforwardness, and even familiarity, women(woman). She obviously came short in the last several days of the simple human contact. In relations between inhabitant Geyza was much misty and decelerated.
-- We shall solve when, -- has said Alisa Ledzhur. -- do Not want nobody to offend.
Do Not think that they force you plenty of work, not so? I повезло that I have met you here. Possible, as- нибудь next week, when will arrive Effingem. This my friend -- Effingem Kuper. We with he make small acceptance, when he here, -- and if there is who take.
See, people in these edge arrive for fifty miles to drink.
Merian, only presently considered that strange crosier was a fishing rod, has said:
-- But we such close neighbours. Hope, we shall often be able to meet beside you or in Geyze.
-- Think, not in Geyze. But not it is important. We with Effingemom shall consolidate the old relationship next week. We feel it the duty little cheer up my pope(pa). See, he becomes nemnogo strange after winter.
-- Him, must be, lonesome. Suppose, you and your brother arrive if only for a part summer.
-- Who you this has said? Though, however, any could; He not одинок. The God keeps him company in winter. We with you certainly it is necessary to speak, when will arrive Effingem. We shall send you note, Effingem and ya. Think, in this not will nothing terrible -- send you note. I do not want nobody to offend. Not shall you more to delay, you tremble as листик. You liked to sail?
-- I have not mended in water, -- confessed Merian, suddenly having felt bitter shame. She has felt itself little brushed against this full, well clad osoboy. -- I испугалась, -- has added she.
-- Was VWXbe clever, dare to say. I usually much here sailled while so has not grown stout. The Trick in that to call at and leave. That zh, leave you are dressed. Better do not spend in vain time. Soon tide. We shall send you note afterwards. When will arrive Effingem. The Whole good.
Merian saw, as she leaves, stepping on stone greater certain step. Merian already so froze that hardly was able to draw the cloth, and still felt the shivering, when, stumbling, has trudged back along coast.
Began to blow the cool wind, and she has much felt sorry that has not taken the sweater. She felt itself absolutely exhausted. Having Taken a look at watch, she with terror has found that already without fourth six nearly, and dashed to run.
Having Run past заросших by herb of the inlets, she twice fell and wounded the knee. Gravely дыша, became to rise on steep stony lane, leading to house.
-- Well, well, will calm down, no need so hurry, no need to hurry!
She a little has not swooped on Dzheralda Skottou.
-- I much сожалею, -- has said Merian, by a narrow margin trying restore dyhanie. -- I have been late on tea, -- We little worried about you. Dear me, hope, you did not bathe seaborne?
-- No, I have trotted, -- has said Merian. She sowed;sown on stone and broke the tear.
Skottou stood, towerring over her. Then he has softly pulled se and has raised on legs. His(its) manner of the address was and careful, and imperious.
-- Well, well, does not плачьте. But, seems, I warned you that here it is impossible bathe?
-- Warned, warned, -- wailled Merian. When they started to rise on hill, he has released her(its) hand.
-- That zh, in next time do that you have said, girl Merian, and us will have ground less for tears. Not truth?
CHAPTER 4
-- warn Him(it) if he will bring here else one, I спущу her(it) in уборную.
Vayolet Everkrich talked with one of the горничных on le стничной to platform.
Merian, already certain time observed for goldfish, sailling circle on bath, has frozen and затаила breathing in hope that miss Everkrich will not call at in ванную once again and will not accuse her(it) in complicity in crime Noulana. Not having thought, she has reduced the light in lamp.
-- Well and well! And that we do here, in the dark?
-- Excuse me, -- has mumbled Merian. She always felt itself to be guilty in whitness of Vayolet Everkrich.
-- Does Not cost(stand) to apologize, -- has said miss Everkrich. She has once again enlarged the fire in lampe. -- Cursedly! -- She has shown on rybku. -- But now идемте.
Merian still indicated, where go in Geyze. That and гляди, they will become to address with her as with maid.
Merian awkwardly came out of ванной. They were met face to face with Vayolet in semidarkness beside open door. Two dressed in black горничные deleted on stair platform. Miss Everkrich, seems, always accompanied one or two горничные, seemed her(its) shade.
-- Proydemte in my room, Merian, -- has said miss Everkrich.
Expressed thereby invitation has sounded the order, as it is woke;waked her(its) expected sooner punishment, than радушный acceptance. Such a tone she earlier did not hear though and repeatedly felt in constrained her(its) attention on the part of this women(woman) what- that tipoff on approaching collision.
-- Am afraid that I can not, -- has said Merian. -- I just go to mrs List-Smith. We are going to to honour together stihi. -- Word prozvuchali as lie though and were a clean truth.
-- Little поздновато for like occupation, you do not seem?
There was already really enough late on yardstick Geyza, nearly ten evenings. Merian was pleased, when on the eve her(its) landlady has offered be met after dinner and honour ( (fr. ) together. Merian became all тяжелее to stand the long evening in Geyze. Previously she so often suffered from lack of time. His(its) came short that> honour, think, peacefully sit with cigarette, пообщаться with people, -- word to develop and be improved. But now time appeared, however this was already other time, as it is woke;waked used someone, previously than reached her(it). She nothing could not do with these onerous evening. She tried than- that concern with in one of these small гостиных adown, hope that anyone be joined to her. But nobody did not come, and color ляные lamps, which she did not know how to light, extinguished. Then she deleted in its room and forced itself not to heed to silence of the building, not to think about Dzheralde Skottou, but try early заснуть. Sometimes she for a long time stood in dark room, вглядываясь in light of the windows Raydersa and trying read some message of the hope in him. But house remained enigmatic. The Pledged invitation from Alisy Ledzhur did not come. Merian could not neither read, nor work in these watch, and, not feelling need for VWVappear in the dreams, she felt itself exhausted, as it is woke;waked her(its) energy starved from attempts to insure itself from influence too taciturn encirclement. So she was presently so pleased possibility to wirle away the night. But besides, she liked process of the education itself.
Certainly, she was a teacher on vocation.
-- I do not know, miss Everkrich. Anyway, we are going to to honour tonight. With your permitions, I poydu. -- With feeling of the blame she has thought, has found Vayolet Everkrich that all pictures with sewer of its room she has removed. Possible, who- нибудь from горничных has told her.
Miss Everkrich has conducted the hand on предплечью Merian, concerned локтя and tenderly, as if lulling, has shaken him(it).
-- Already nearly came time to name me Vayolet. Can be, after our short conversation...
-- You so good.
The Finger has compressed and have released her(its) elbow.
-- Not good. Simply I have loved you. А beside us so little who mozhno to love. Good night.
Something touching in word, but not in tone said for put Merian всмотреться the внимательнее in lengthened pale, by half illuminated person.
Some shudder, as it is woke;waked received from the childhood, concerned her(it), and she has thought that if in she absolutely was absent the interest to Vayolet Everkrich, that this, obviously, occurred only from awe before her. She looked, as high figure deleted VWXbe drafty heavy curtains, hiding passage in darkness. In removal flashed by the light -- passed the chambermaid with lamp in hand.
Merian could now find the road in any part of the building that was particularly it is important for it at nightfall. Sometimes lamps were lighted;litted, when approached the darkness, but sometimes no, alight occasionly extinguished, and happened to to find the way an впотьмах -- on changeable reflection and remote точечкам of the light. Now she hurried on dark corridor to room mrs List-Smith.
The Light evening twilight проглядывали VWXbe drafty занавески of the high windows.
-- Enter. А, regard, Merian, this you. I thought, this Dzherald.
-- Descend for him?
-- No, do not worry. Approach поближе to огню. Today strong wind. Approach and see, who beside us here.
Enterring, Merian has found that in room is present else someone. This was Denis Noulan, which stood in shade for heater. He left on light and has hurlled in it cool ray their own brightly-blue eye.
Hanna List-Smith, on which was today put on gown instead of usual robe, stood on knee on small rug before heater, considering something liing before her on sex.
-- That this? -- has asked Merian.
She подошла поближе and has seen something small, brown and only in following minute has understood with light shudder that this bat.
-- Truth, she sweetie? -- has asked Hanna KREN-SMIT. -- Her(its) will bring Denis.
He always me anything bring -- hedgehogs; the snake, toads, glorious зверьков.
-- With her something not so, -- sullen threw Noulan. -- do Not think that she will survive.
Merian was too lowered on lap. The Bat, кро хотное living being, slowly moved on ковру, sharply ottalkivaias" wrinkled hard paw. She замерла and looked upstairs. Merian вгляделась in her(its) strange small собачью мордочку and brilliant dark eye. In them was nearly unholy thirst бытия. Then, the bat has opened its small toothy mouth and has published the shriek. Merian burst out laughing, but afterwards she suddenly wanted заплакать. Itself not knowing why, she felt that can not stand the proximity mrs List-Smith with bat, as it is woke;waked they suddenly met in one absurd, helpless essence.
-- Nice, nice small creation, -- has said mrs a List- Smit. -- Strange think, what is it mammal, either as we. I feel some strange kinship with her, but you no? -- She has ironned the finger her(its) fur back, and mouse s'ezhilasi. -- place;put;lay her(it) back into box, Denis. You will look after her, after all truth? -- Why-that she too could not stand the presences to bat.
-- I nothing shall not be able for it to do, -- has said Noulan. He quickly and carefully has raised the bat. His(its) hands were small and very dirty; He has placed her(it) in box on stole. -- Naleyte itself whisky, Merian. You have brought the books? Well. Hope, you not against wait several minutes. Denis is going to to clip me hairs.
This has surprised Merian. For it Noulan was someone elusive, always обрызганным by dirt, working outside of building, sooner, connected with horse, which kept sometime in far-ends поросшего by rhododendron of the declivity. But she exuded his(its) absolutely unbeseeming for dug valet de chamber (the valet -- franc. ).
Noulan, seemed, was embarrassed and рассержен prospects of the presence of the witness. However, Hanna List-Smith уселась on chair and has covered the shoulder a towel. He nothing do not remain, what proceed with the suit. He has taken the comb and scissors and began to sort the strand golden-red hair.
Merian too felt the embarrassment, as it is woke;waked, her(its) have forced to be present under too intimate rite. And in ditto time with a certain share of the delight she has noted the feudal indifference, with which her(its) landlady pertained hereto strange position.
Noulan turned out to be strangely capable. When he began to work, his(its) person softened, преисполнилось attention and feeling own value.
He replaced the шелковистые strand a hair that in one then in the other side and businesslike cut. The Bright золотистые tresses coverlet towel and noiseless carrions on sex. Lэриан has for the first time noticed that he rather beautiful man.
The Thick strand иссиня-black hair framed hard, flowering, with small devil, person, sullen glance became now attentively- vigilant. But these striking eye! Merian has met them, suddenly shocked, since Noulan, having felt her(its) exploring glance, for second has intercepted him(it) on golden-red head. The Glance his(its) was as quick flight of the kingfisher. She has translated the eye on person mrs List-Smith. On he has frozen the dreamy expression.
-- Do Not know that I did without Denisa, -- mrs List-Smith, which head remained to be still under still working ножницами, has conducted the hand back and concerned the tweed jacket Noulana. Her(its) hand slid in his(its) pocket. Merian was unscrewed. The photography newly appeared Before her(its) взором on writing-tables.
-- You have again singed the hairs these cigarette.
-- I foul, truth?
Merian has paid attention to strange type ed frontal hair.
-- Gotovo. -- Noulan has taken away the towel and has shaken the cut strand in fire, where they have flashed up. He has got up on lap and has collected the hairs with flap. When he turned out to be beside legs mrs List-Smith, that has ironned his(its) shoulder light, nearly self-conscious touch.
Merian was astir. However, scene was very natural, and she has felt that something like occurred over and over again previously.
-- But now my loafers and hose. Can, later me to want to leave.
Noulan will bring her(its) hose and with unflappable type looked, as she, a little ajar underskirts and garters, put on them. Then he has once again got up on lap and parcel of land of the loafer on it.
Merian has noticed that soles туфель absolutely is not trampled. She has said to break the silence, oppressed her(it):
-- What pretty new small shoes.
-- They not new, -- was called back mrs KREN-SMIT. -- Him seven years.
Noulan has looked at it. Merian has once again felt terrible confusion, in which often knocked down her(its) landlady... She still could not understand, was mrs List-Smith than-that больна or recovered after some heavy disease. That, as inhabitants of the building addressed with her, sometimes expected last. Even prihodila in head thought, зароненная hardly by perceptible manner Dzheralda Skottou that beside mrs List-Smith not with head okay.
Certainly, she was an eccentric lady.
That преодолеть embarrassment, Merian has said:
-- You their much have well saved!
-- I not plenty of go.
Merian came to mind that mrs List-Smith really did not come out of house since time her(its) priezda. , -- has thought Merian.
Noulan has retreated back, supposing that his(its) will presently release. He was little growing of both womans less and seemed nearly dwarves, frowning and collected.
-- Remain, Denis, you too honour.
Merian wondered and, not having thought, has asked:
-- About, you may read on-french?
-- Yes, -- he hostile has looked at it. Merian has thought: .
-- Denis very capable, -- has said mrs a List-Smith. -- You cost(stand)
listen, as he plays on piano and sings. We must certainly make the musicale. Remain.
-- No. I must look after their own rybkami. -- He has raised the box with flying myshiyu. -- Calm nochi. -- He was sharply turned and left.
-- Take care of my small bat, -- has said him after mrs List-Smith. She vzdohnula. -- He has shown you лососиную inlet?
-- No, -- has answered Merian. -- We nearly did not talk with mister Noulanom. But there there is salmon? Mister Skottou has said that they have left.
-- They returned. Only do not speak mister Skottou. , -- has thought Merian.
-- Think, he will show you лососиную inlet. You someday saw, what the salmon jump? This very touching spectacle. They выпрыгивают from water and dash on s. Such fantastic boldness -- return in unite poetry by similar image. As showers, addressing to the God.
Since Merian has answered little unexpected smiles, her(its) landlady has got up and was taken slowly go on room. She much liked to peer into mirrors. Now she went from mirror to zerkalu.
-- Prislushaytesi to winds. Here he can blow infinitely. In winter he wails so that capable to reduce with wit. He blows the day for daytime and deprives rest. That you think about my page?
-- About your... About mister Noulane? He, seems, is much dedicated you.
-- Think, he has allowed me to kill itself slow death.
In word has sounded shocking беспощадность соб ственника, strange inconsistent her(its) accustomed meekness. And all Merian was suddenly shown that in behaviour mrs List-Smith has slipped some hopelessness.
Sick, mad or in despair.
-- But here all are dedicated you, mrs List-Smith.
-- Please, call me Hannoy. Yes, I know, I счаст ливица, Dzherald Skottou -- tower of strength. But now honour? Begin you, beside you such beautiful pronunciation, but shall afterwards look, shall be able I translate.
Having Forgotten on all on light, immediately carry in accustomed exciting world, Merian beginning to read:
Se toil tranquitte, ou marchent des colombes,
Entre les pins palpite, entre les tombes;
Midi le juste beside compose de feux
La mer, la mer, toujours recommencee... *
As this calm shelter, where dove плещет Wing, among pine and гробниц трепещет!
The South righteous lights to compose ready В извечно appearing sea!
(translation B. Livshica. )
G L ABA 5
-- All local inhabitants consist in kinship with fairy, -- has said the James Everkrich.
Merian засмеялась. She obviously пребывала in get prettier the mood. There was bright solar day, and sea cast the amethyst colour. The Wind stopped.
Was very hot, and light vapour(pair) rose from basis bluff. They with James quickly went to лендровере on direction to Blekportu, where were to gain the box a whisky and koe-what cloth, which profit for Hanny on her(its) approval.
The James turned out to be by passionate photographer, was going to also cue- that to buy for its camera. He has spent the last spool of the colour film, having done on the eve enormous amount photography Merian, which was to some degree польщена and somewhat alarmed such attention.
Today Merian simply rejoiced at thoughts that прикоснется to civilizations. She all seemed merry and accustomed -- see мощеную street, buy the newspaper, call at in shop, look at going by plain folks -- all this, certainly, will deliver the pleasure, and though пабы were found under запретом, there was a small fishing hotel, where she will see the rows of the bottles and will be able to book itself to drink, having recalled old accustomed rituals, which her here so came short.
The Last several days in Geyze were необычайно sleepy. They with Hannoy have begun to read ( (fr. ) and a little not заснули on her at eleven o'clocks. The Wind all blew, causing painful неугомонность, about which spoke Hanna. Dzherald Skottou invisibly to disappeared and so invisibly returned, invariably remaining polite, ve личественным, charming and absolutely impregnable.
Vayolet Everkrich was preventive, attentive, but until invited once again to . From Alisy Ledzhur was not notify.
Merian long and vain speculated about that, why name Ledzhurov never is mentionned in Geyze. She often examinred closely Rayders in binoculars and one or two once> saw on terrazzo of the youthful person with dog. Feelling itself today оживленнее and раскованнее usual, she dared before completion of the trip about многом to question the James.
-- But you proceed not from these places, not so? I want to ask, flows in your vein blood фей?
-- No. I принадлежу to the other sort.
-- Certainly, you relative mrs List-Smith.
-- Daliniy. -- He has published its short strange chuckle, like вскрику.
The Machine came down on steepness in glen, where road behind low dam nearly borderРed the sea wave. From sudden vicinity epidemic deathes Merian has felt the unpleasant emotion, nearly feeling of the blame. Sail she anymore tried. Hastily unscrewed from epidemic deathes, she has looked at поросшую tree glen, подернутую legkoi haze. In removal by bright band trembling light fart ливался the waterfall.
-- Beautiful place.
-- Rather vile. His(its) name the Devilish Dam. Further, there is several whimsical s, their is not seen by otsyuda. -- Then he has added: -- In night of the flood has here occurred something terrible.
-- That?
-- This small речушка, such, as our in Geyze, has suddenly spouted the tempestuous flow from marsh, has washed off the machine with roads and threw seaborne, all have sunk.
-- What terror! You was here, when has occurred the flood?
-- No. But mister Skottou was.
-- He long ago here lives?
-- Seven years.
-- Hope, no dangers that will occur something like?
-- About no. See, lake пересохло. You should somehow descend on marsh if only for edge him(it). There uncommonly beautifully. The Local inhabitants, certainly, his(its) are afraid. They come there only in broad daylight, for turf. But if the sky begins to frown, they hastily run away. The Marsh in this time is painted in very strange tone.
-- I supposed, they consider that their родичи live there!
-- Think, they really live in that places. I and itself will not go there in the dark nor for what money. Occasionly strange lights glow in болоте.
There, there is выложенные валежником of the lane, but if loses with them, you can засосать. Two years back some man has sunk in болоте. The People heard, as he yelled whole night, but nobody did not dare to approach to him, and he perished.
Merian shuddered not only from history, but also from fish вольствия, with which James her(its) told. The Boy produced rather gloomy impression.
-- Probably, Denis Noulan local inhabitant?
-- Yes, he one of them. Though actually his(its) here no. He -- one of the unencountered creation. We call his(its) . His(its) father was a handyman of the huntsman in Rayderse.
-- In Rayderse, truth? The other day I have met miss Ledzhur. She has said that will invite me in Rayders, when will arrive someone by name Effingem Kuper.
-- Will Here is be a pleasure! She всецело absorbed him?
-- Yes, now I remember, she named his(its) name enough chasto. They are betrothed or something in this sort? The James piercing burst out laughing:
-- Not at all. Though, probably, she shoulds like to that you so thought! She already several years are dragged for Effingemom Kuperom, are completely aware of this. But him not at all deal before it.
Merian ed. She wanted to continue the talk about Rayderse.
-- Then why he arrives here?
-- For the sake of oldster. But mainly -- about, mainly -- for the sake of mrs KREN-SMIT. -- James has once again giggled.
Merian else more ed, and though she did not want to look too curious and more so gossip with James about Hanne, she has not been able to remain to not to say carelessly:
-- I suppose, mrs List-Smith widow?
-- No. Mister List-Smith lives in NIYU-YORKE. -- James smiled its open, sparkling smile and, глядя on deserted road, has added the velocity.
-- They divorced?
-- No, no, -- he continued to smile and has hurlled on it quick glance.
Merian has upset his(its) ajar pleasure, caused by her(its) curiosity.
She has hurried to move to the other subjects, which, however, was shown by her too not deprived interest.
-- You speak, mister Skottou has arrived in these edges seven years back?
-- About no. He scrambled over in lock Geyz seven years back. А in these edge пребывает nearly whole life. He too local. He was born in village. His(its) mother still lives there.
-- Really?! -- воскликнула Merian. She much wondered and came to a certain confusion. However in the following instant image Dzheralda Skottou was in her(its) imagination else more captivating and mysterious, than always. Signifies, in his(its) vein too текла blood фей.
-- Yes. Now he present gentleman, not truth? -- has said the James.
-- Presently he hides its old woman ma! -- He has giggled, obviously enjoying said. But all Merian was shown that youth very clinging to Skottou.
The James continued:
-- His(its) step worked in Rayderse, either as father Denisa. Only Denis remained here, but Dzherald has left in city and many obtained.
-- About, Denis worked in Rayderse? -- Any relationship with nearby house had importance for it.
-- Yes. Until his(its) have not exposed from there!
-- For that his(its) have banished?
-- Say you? Well, shall say! Once upon a time he pounced upon miss Ledzhur. -- James so burst out laughing that machine sharply swayed from direct way.
-- Pounced upon it?
-- Yes. You Know, tried to possess her. He was with her in salmon plants. Then there водились the salmon. And suddenly he pounced upon it. Here is uzh what I never has done though, probably, she was then посимпатичнее.
However all have occurred not so uzh long ago. Hereon in house started to be afraid for горничных and have soon offered he уйти.
-- As strange, -- has said Merian. This really was strangely.
She at all could not visualize sullen and obedient Denisa in like dug. He absolutely did not resemble(go) on satire, sooner reminded the wildlife, which prefers to escape, rather then attack. Can, this were explained offended and in ditto time guilty expression his(its) person. However, this cue- that has added to his(its) image. She was of interest know, felt someday mrs List-Smith awe that on it .
-- The most best overview platform, -- has said the James. He has sharply reduced the velocity and has rolled up with roads. Has Approached the sudden silence, they left on warm sunshine and moved to краю the bluff.
There was clear day. Golubizna epidemic deathes, covered by haze beside horizon, gradually met with the sky. On north высились the bastions dark-purple limestone. Southward land отлого was lowered, and bluffs disappeared. Several disembodied shacks and tiny, served изгородью flap, обсаженных brightly burning fuchsia, nestled on turned seaward ledge. Thence, there were are seen and small harbour Blekporta with her(its) yellow-black lighthouse, and group sailing court, and long green cape behind. Here ended the lifeless land and began calm and usual landscape.
Some time Merian was an absorbed joy of the contemplate, has then felt that James intently looks at it. In second she quickly took a look at it. She was shown that some signal as it were passed from one to the other. She tried to return to observation, but picture became now nevidimoi.
The James continued to look at it. She as it is woke;waked saw his(its) person.
Finally he has said the deep voice:
-- I never met such womans, as you. You quite other.
The Present. As man.
Merian was lost, but she has delivered the pleasure such sudden change to tonality. Nor one woman will become to remonstrate against sudden disarmament of its traditional enemy. She tense has frozen, expecting any time his(its) touch.
She did not want this; she has said quickly and easy:
-- That zh, hope, this well.
-- Much even well. You will differ...
-- has thought Merian. Absently smiling, she passed little onward to most краю the bluff, from James a little farther. The Sensation разверзнувшейся beside her(its) legs of the abyss has suddenly pierced all body. Ed the remote blows an epidemic deathes.
Instinctively she fell on lap. The James have got up on lap near by her. All this reminded some strange rite. She has felt, as rough sleeve of his(its) coat concerned her(its) nacked hand. Beside she закружилась the head, she has felt the alert and threw at a venture:
-- See, what terribly long way downwards. Impossible thence and remain above-ground. He something have answered, but she did not hear.
-- That?
-- I have said, Peter List-Smith has done this.
-- That?
-- Fell with bluff and has survived. Seven years back. Merian was turned to him. He looked at it with delight. The Bluff, seemed, shook from blow epidemic deathes.
-- Regard. That this you замышляете?
The James and Merian вскочили, having jumped back friend from friend, and have backed out of edges of the bluff.
Dzherald Skottou, horseback on large sulphur, was quite near by them. The Noise epidemic deathes has hidden his(its) approach. At type his(its) Merian has felt the mixed feeling of the blame, emotions and reliefs.
The James подошел to Skottou and has got up beside heads his(its), глядя on it. Some secret obedient surrender was In this hasty approach. Merian подошла slowly.
Sitting on Skottou looked commanding. dress;clad He was nebrezhno, клетчатая shirt распахнулась, open long strong neck. But shoe for riding go;drive were начищены before briliance. Approaching to him поближе, she has felt the fresh resinous scent of the skin. Her(its) pleased that James did not touch to her.
Skottou and James still looked the friend on friend. Finally Skottou has asked:
-- You told the fairy tales? -- He засмеялся and mildly held at cheek of the boy by its whip.
CHAPTER 6
-- As it goes you, Merian! -- воскликнула Hanna, подняв big manual mirror, which they have brought with itself on terrazzo.
There was warm calm evening. They sat on terrazzo for one of the small white iron table, sipping whisky and trying valuables Hanny.
Dogorayuschee sun, sinking in gilded sea, has painted all on the land in sparkling шафраново-yellow colour. Merian seemed that they with Hannoy on scene, -- such strong and unusual was a light. He has gilded him hands and person.
The long shade stretched From their figures. The Greater round bunch смолевки, sprouted VWXbe drafty rifts flap, rejecting shade, bordered the terrazzo motley ковром. The Impression to theatricses increased due to the fact that both of them were in evening charge. Merian parcel of land blue gown for cocktails, which so liked Dzheffri, but Hanna -- long, brought, in count;calculate;list other, from city. It was light розовато-mauve colour, from heavy granular silk, with tightly adjoining high bodice, little reminding medieval cuts. With gold(en) circuit on neck she looked as some brave storied lady from precipitated lock or as daydream of the artist .
Beside Hanny appeared the idea tonight solemnly to note aquisition new charge, having organized small holiday with шампанским;
Merian must was too be accordingly decorated. Dzherald Skottou and Vayolet Everkrich were joined to him for шампанским, was winnowed active, but no difference-polite talk. Ate a deux (two together -- fr. ). Hanna facetious complained that Dzherald does not turn on it attention, but Merian seemed that Dzherald avoids her(it), but she could not understand why. She enjoyed novelty of the small dinner though he and prohodil little are numbed.
Now they haved fun the valuable from big small box, which Hanna велела bring here, and carelessly scattered her(its) contents on table, Merian already rescued the catkin, tumbled and закатившуюся in slot crackinged flap. She did not understand in valuable, but was certain that they really very costly.
Hanna has right before fastened on neck Merian necklace from small жемчужин and ruby, straightened in gold. Merian considered itself in mirror. The Necklace looked like exhibit from museum of the Victoria and Aliberta (the Museum to Victoria and Aliberta -- national museum Graceful and aplied artses of all countries and epoches. It Is Found in London. It Is Named in honour of queens to Victoria and her(its) supruga. ) She never and did not dream of like belongings. Seemed, necklace has changed her(it), has transformed even blue gown. Something -- possible, this was a jewels, or gold(en), light, or mirror itself, заколдованное that that it so often reflected the person of its landlady, -- has forced her(it) for minute to see themselves such beautiful.
After too long silence she has pronounced;
-- Yes, splendid.
-- Your!
-- You want to say...
-- Necklace. Please, take him(it). See, beside me their so much, but I nearly not burden them. I shall deliver the true enjoyment to present you this.
-- About, I can not... -- has said Merian. -- It too... too splendid, too dearly for me! -- word have sounded unexpectedly ill.
-- Foolishnesses! I заставлю you to take the necklace. No, nor word more. And do not remove him(it). It is created to his(its) carried.
Merian mumbled the word to thanks, unnerved and reddened. And all she could not not rejoice, got such remarkable gift. She nervously sorted his(its) finger.
Both замолчали; Merian was astir, but Hanna, seems, absorbed some other thought. Merian has thought that today Hanna looks more alive and not such sleepy, as usually. The Sun, round and red, came down to horizon and sank;sunk now in blazing sea. The Golden glow gradually perehodilo in brightly-blue twilight, and enormous silver moon appeared on roof. Something in landscape has delayed the glance Merian. This was a lights alight in Rayderse. She has turned the head and has seen that Hanna peers into the same side. Merian became to think over, as natural to wind the talk about nearby house.
Hanna has overtaken her(it):
-- I приглашу Effingema Kupera to look my new gown. You should with him to get acquainted.
Merian was stunned. After so long silence on cause Raydersa this careless mentioning has surprised her(it) and has provided in confusion. And in ditto time she has understood that mentioning was not such uzh careless. Hanna has pronounced this little смущенно, as it is woke;waked word were is beforehand weighted and their not easily was вымолвить. Merian tried to answer peacefully:
-- But mister Kuper already there? -- Word gave her(its) осве домленность.
-- He arrives tomorrow.
Signifies, day after tomorrow Alisa Ledzhur can invite her(it). The Women(woman)s did not look the friend on friend. Merian terribly wanted to continue the talk. She has said:
-- Old mister Ledzhur, must be, rejoices the visitor. Mister Skottou has said that he scientist. You know that he studies?
-- Seems, greek. Platona. He writes the book about Platone.
-- sting That I do not know greek. What he, old gentleman?
-- Do Not know, -- has answered Hanna. -- I never with him not встре chalasi. -- She was turned and has peered into eye Merian.
Absolutely struck such answer, Merian hardly dared be met by glance with its landlady. When she finally dared, that has felt that Hanna again tense speculates about than-that else, and passed time, previously than Merian has understood that hand with ensemble колец, urgently stretching to her, as it were asks to her(its) have shaken. She has done this.
For the first time Merian so straight looked at Hannu. Really, such appearance seldom met in her(its) lifes. She has suddenly understood that she presents some requirement, and tightened, preparing his(its) execute.
Turned to her alarmed tired beautiful person with золотистыми eye shone, as it is woke;waked really lighted;litted up by light.
-- Forgive me, -- has said Hanna.
-- For that?
-- For this shameless call to любви... -- She for minute has delayed the hand Merian, but has then lowered her(it), глядя on house. But afterwards she has once again turned the insistent look at person of the girl, as it is woke;waked giving her to understand that talk not окончен and must be continued in the same key.
-- Well... You know that I love you, -- has said Merian. She itself wondered, having heard their own word, since did not get accustomed aloud to show such a feeling. And all here they seemed wholly natural, their as it is woke;waked have extended from it some compelling force.
-- Yes. Thank you. I think that each must call the love, ask her(it). As strange that people are afraid this word. However all we need for любви. Even, the God needs the love. I think, exactly so he and created us.
-- He bad all have organized, -- has said, smiling, Merian. Proiznesya these word, she has felt that really loves Hannu, simply previously she could not find the names its gentile feeling.
-- You want to say since people do not love Him(it)? But they love.
Certainly, we all love Him(it), hiding this under one or another mask. He so thirsts our любви, but огромнее desire любви can cause the love to lifes.
You believe in the God?
-- No, -- has answered Merian. She did not feel the blames, confessing in this. She was is too enthralled by talk and did not visualize that Hanna religious. She never went in cerkovi. -- But you believe?
-- Yes, think that faith. I never high-hat to itself such question since not capable to cogitations. I simply must believe and must love the God.
-- But, shall expect, you love something, what no here?
-- In the known sense you do not можешь to love something, what no. I seem if you really love, signifies, it here. But I do not understand in such thing.
Already has nearly got dark. The Outlines Raydersa have melted in the sky, having left constellation of the lights. Someone пересек far-end terrazzoes, came down on stair and escaped toward fish pond. The Silver moon grew shorter before amounts dim gold(en) coin, and light her(its) already melted in the last twilight. Light ветерок began to blow with ,. `o.
Hanna flinched and was enfolded in shawl.
-- Hope, wind not to begin once again.
-- Le vent se leve -- il faut tenter de vivre. (Rises the wind -- it is necessary to try to live).
-- А, -- she has lingered, has then having continued: -- Nights -- sad time of the day. As mysterious day and night, this endless interleaving of the darkness and light. Transition always acts on me. Overcome the sad thoughts -- about folk, afraid and попавших in trouble, on all solitary and indigent, about prisoner... Well, I shall go home, but you walk on garden.
-- You not to pass with me? Let's descend on bluffs and полюбуемся the moon light.
-- No, go you. I shall better think about you here. Go this expensive, so quicker. Good night. Forgive menya. -- She has quickly got up and escaped, previously than Merian has haved time to to rise.
The Girl certain time stood bewildered and deeply touched. She rejoiced that barrier between they conked, but together with that and was astir some indistinct plea. She wanted to say: . However talk with Hannoy was her absolutely not comprehensible.
The Moon now completely воцарилась on horizon. Merian slowly moved on garden. Approaching to winch, which has shown her Hanna, she tried their open, but they did not yield to, as it is woke;waked someone kept them on the other hand. For minute she забеспокоилась, then twitched once again, and they распахнулись, having showerred by her(its) land and sand. She tried to leave.
In garden behind it moon rejected turn black shade from stone wall.
Even, plucked sheep lawn that to top of the bluff, lay straight before her. Empty, deprived shades, she was пугающе still at dim cool moon light. Merian stood in winch. Behind spread thick and attracting garden. Something in him scarecrow and in ditto time, as magnet, held her(it). The Desire to leave passed. She was afraid to do although step outward and ka cue-that time stood in winch as paralyzed, trying restrain the breathing. The Enormous bluff remained cool and commanding, visible and in ditto time unrealistic. He, seemed, awaited that will do the girl.
CHAPTER 7
After, several minutes Merian moved back to house through received in decay garden, as well as not having dared to leave for his(its) limits. The Moon escaped for cloud. All around looked such alarm that she happened to by a narrow margin to force itself to tear away the hands from stone and be shifted with place. She never felt nothing like, in feeling solitude вплеталось the sensation that in darkness something lay in wait for her(it). She repeated over and over again itself: . But with whom and about than? On that she can be ed, except on solitude and tedium, which wholly has possible expected? That has caused beside it so sudden awe and alert? She has seen ahead of itself flicker, moving in darkness of the garden, and stopped, newly feelling dismay. The Flicker moved to vary, as it is woke;waked something searching. Momentarily he disappeared and appeared once again, small round spot of the light, slithered on foliage and stone. Merian has solved that this, must be, electric flash-light. She noiseless двинулась onward on gravel to track, so заросшей by herb and мхом that step her(its) was not audible.
The Flicker luminary little правее, and beside затаившей breathing of the girl was only one desire -- quickly slip by it, but then run to house. Her(its) heart desperately beat, and she has accelerated the step.
Suddenly, the light взметнулся on it, and she immediately stopped, seen, as her(its) legs and gown were illuminated. The Gravel хрустнул under her(its) heel. This was a first sound for for a long time. The Light rose to person, has blinded her(it), and she gravely вздохнула, caughted on place.
-- Miss Teylor.
This was a voice Denisa Noulana. She to should remember that he sometimes left the night to look at its fish at light of the torch.
-- Mister Noulan, you have frightened me.
-- Me much sting.
They as before remained in official, little hostile relations. SHagnuv him toward on hard herb, Merian has recalled the tale about that, as he on Alisu Ledzhur. However now she already anymore was afraid.
The Minute they stood on herb, their separated the circle of the light. Then . -- has asked:
-- Possible me to look fish? I their nor reek plainly did not see.
He is a tale her(it), having directed light to her under legs, to похрустывающей gravel trope.
Three oval, поросших lily pond at one time made the part italian parka, but мощеная track around them already long ago заросла ракитником, young sapling of the ash and all the manner of wild colour. White and crimson lilies still bloomed, light of the torch now slithered on big dry sheet and closed head. Then, the light has doved downwards.
Noulan has got up on lap, and Merian was lowered near by him. The Wire network, usually covered ponds, was skim.
-- For what this network?
-- Against cranes.
-- Cranes? А, understandable. But that they went fishing.
She всмотрелась downwards, in undersea world. He was green, deep, full thick vegetation. Fish swam, not worried light of the torch, with pensive slowness, round and золотистые.
-- Golden european carp, these quick graceful boys -- ide, gold(en) ide. But there you could see линя, he dark-green -- hardly you will be able to consider him(it), green линь, тинка.
-- His(its) зоологическое name?
-- Yes.
-- As sound! But where Strawberry Nose? Noulan was turned to her in the dark, and light flash of the torch has illuminated the space.
-- Whence you know this name?
-- He was beside you in reservoir, when we got acquainted, and you have named his(its) mister Skottou.
-- About, he in the other pond. With him okay.
Merian has felt that has brushed against him(it). He, either as all local inhabitants, possessed value, but was is absolutely deprived feeling of the humour and did not stand nor the most slightest tipoff on taunt. She and did not think to sneer and, translating talk, has quickly asked:
-- As bat?
-- She has died.
The Sowing on stone edge of the pond, Merian felt the smelling sweet darkness around itself, enormous mass of the building thereabouts, weakly outlined sky on background, painted by escaped moon in bluish- black colour. In one of the windows blazed the light, but she could not understand in what. The Stone, heated day sun, still saved teplo. The Torch заколебался, light slid but water and redeem.
Merian has asked:
-- Mister Noulan, you will not object if I back to you several questions?
He already stood, as it is woke;waked being going to уйти. She only vaguely distinguished his(its) head and shoulder, towered over her.
-- That for questions?
-- That comes of this revenge?
He has lingered, previously than answer, for minute once again зажег torch and has quickly shone around. Dark-green bushes ракитника, light haze campanula, white daisies, spreading polka dots were suddenly flashed and disappeared.
He has said:
-- Nothing especial. Simply you did not get accustomed to such secluded place.
-- Do Not try to get rid of me, -- has said Merian. Hardly сойдя with sprinkled gravel of the track, she already knew that moment of the revelation has come.
-- Prisyadite, mister Noulan. You should tell me, anyway although something say. That has occurred seven years back?
He was lowered on one knee near by her, having met with darkness sada. -- Nothing do not happen, nothing especial. But that?
-- Tell, -- persisted Merian. -- I already quite a few know. About that that mister List-Smith fell with bluff, and so on. You should tell me more. In this place there is something very strange, and this not only уединенность. I certain. Please, tell me. You should understand, how do I it is difficult here and even in a way terribly. Tell, rather then that me to come to ask anyone esche. -- Word, pronounced her, were not thought-out beforehand, but when she has pronounced them, that has felt that Noulan surrendered. He sowed;sown. Their lap nearly touched on warm surface gritty stone.
-- I can not say nothing you.
-- Signifies, there is that to say? But me necessary to know if I remain here to absolutely not to come off wit.
-- As all we, -- has quietly said he.
-- Please, tell. Otherwise I спрошу mrs List-Smith.
-- About, do not do this.
He встревожился. She has once again taken the verne a note.
-- Let's, Denis, -- his(its) name has sounded absolutely es тественно.
-- See here... Well... Wait the minute; -- he has once again illuminated all around torch slowly and carefully. The Light in house pogas. -- I something shall tell you. Really, you should know this if intending to remain here. And better I shall tell you itself, than if you will learn of this from the other.
He has lingered. Раздался the light fluent sound, published by fish, surfaced.
-- You ask that comes of this revenge. I shall say you. This is because this prison.
-- Prison? -- has ed Merian изумленно, feelling excitation from vicinity of the solving. Her(its) heart painfully bilosi. -- Prison? But who prisoner?
-- Mrs List-Smith.
She has felt that by half knew this. Though as she could know?
Even presently she not quite ponimala. -- But who jailers?
-- Mister Skottou, miss Everkrich, James. You. YA. -- No, no! -- has objected ona. -- Only not I! But I not on нимаю, about than you speak. You want to say that mrs List- Smith in conclusion here?
-- Yes.
-- But this madness. But that mister List-Smith, why he not...
-- Will Not rescue her(it)? She заточена on his(its) desire.
-- I nothing do not understand, -- has said Merian. Either as earlier beside winch, her(its) has newly covered the panic, which she prophetic has felt already in the first deni. -- Can, mrs List-Smith больна... I want to say -- not in its wit, or dangerous, or else something in this sort?
-- No.
-- Well, why then her(its) заточили here? The Persons it is impossible simply so take and заточить. We live not in average ages.
-- Yes, not in average. But this does not matter. The Husband заточил her(it) since she has defrauded him(it) and tried to kill.
-- About Gosh, -- her already was not before curiosity. She simply felt the awe before historian, which she lay ahead to hear, as it is woke;waked she could muddy her(its) reason. The Instant she was gotova to stop him(it). But he continued, having lowered voice.
-- Better I shall tell you all on order. Now that uzh so much announced you, remained little. And the God will forgive me if I enter wrong. The Deal was so. Hanna List-Smith богатая woman and was one of the the богатых brides in these edge. For instance, this house and the land on much miles around belongs to her. And she left married very young for its cousin Peter List- Smith. He was, will yes forgive me God if I несправедлив to him, rather rough young person though and обаятельный, amateur to drink and поухаживать for woman, but with wife addressed cruelly. They often could be in this house, since he loved порыбачить and поохотиться. This marriage it is impossible name ingenious. She suffered, and so lasted until appeared Philip Ledzhur.
-- Philip Ledzhur?
-- Yes. They name his(its) Pip Ledzhur. The Son of the old professor of mister Ledzhura. Young mister Ledzhur has bought Rayders, when that was absolutely in rubble, has bought for next to nothing to use as hunting lodge, and leased the right on hunt and fish fishing. So he got acquainted with mister List-Smith and with mrs List-Smith too. The Men often together hunted. This was a years nine back. Then, mister List-Smith has left in America on deal. I think that on deal though nothing do not be aware of his(its) activity, besides that he rich young person. But when he has left, mrs List-Smith and mister Ledzhur has loved each other and became close.
He has lingered and once again зажег flash-light. The Garden was absolutely silent.
-- So lasted certain time, and mister List-Smith nothing about this did not know. As long? I do not know and not present;introduce;конт)represent that has done mrs a List-Smith hereinafter. But once upon a time mister List-Smith unexpectedly returned back, returned here, in Geyz, and has caught its wife in beds with young mister Ledzhurom, -- he ostanovilsya. -- has occurred seven years back.
A Certain time he kept quiet, as it is woke;waked всецело absorbed said, has then having continued:
-- I already spoke you that mister List-Smith was a cruel persons. Was Not, but there is, since he reaped. The God will forgive me if I несправедлив to him. He has entered much cruelly then.
-- With mister Ledzhurom?
-- With its wife.
Momentarily he again замолчал, engulfed by emotional emotion, then has once again spoken:
-- He became then keep her(its) building, keep взаперти.
-- That has done mister Ledzhur?
-- He has left. That he could do? He has withdrewed her(it), he has freed her(it).
She knew this. There were letter, were a people, before ставлявшие these letter though they risked that him sound to get from husband. But she has not left.
-- But why? If mister List-Smith was such...
-- She was crowned with him in церкви.
-- Yes, but all, when...
-- As we can know that beside it on shower? Can, she was afraid him(it), but she, must be, really terribly was afraid him(it). There was not easily abandon the house. Her(its) protected, for she observed. Besides, leave the husband, enter in new life (do not forget, she left married very young) -- possible, she simply has not wanted, but can, already then felt the feeling of the blame, regret.
-- Already then?
-- Else something have occurred after several months, can be a week. I do not know that she has done. But happened else something. Once upon a time, possible after some insult, I exactly do not know, she has run away from building. She выбежала through door, leading to bluff, through which you right before came. She run to top of the bluff. Only God in its милосердии knows that was beside it on wit, wholly possible that suicide -- dash downwards with bluff. But can, she simply run away, nor about than not thinking. Mister List- Smith has run for her. That happened afterwards, nobody exactly does not know. But between them was a fight, and mister List-Smith fell with edges of the bluff.
-- About Gosh, -- has whispered Merian. She felt the difficulty in breathing, as it is woke;waked feelling taste or scent of the cinders, and flinched at flash of the torch. Has Once again approached the darkness.
-- He has survived. This was a prodigy. On bluff in that place passes something like rifts, do not know, saw you her(it), rift -- small stone riverbed, possible, old creek. He fell in it. This was a long fall, but he has survived.
-- He powerfully damaged?
-- Do Not know. He has survived. Speak, he somehow mutilated or powerfully get hurt, but all speak differently, and I do not know.
-- You did not see him(it) thereafter?
-- No. And enough seldom before that. I then not veins in Geyze. With togo time of the leg his(its) here was not, but this has occurred seven years back.
-- But she?
-- Her(its) заточили.
-- You want to say, thereafter, seven years?
-- Yes. He заточил her(it). Exactly at that time he bring to house Dzheralda Skottou.
Dzherald was his(its) other though they and belonged to to miscellaneous world. They befriended in the childhood, when Peter boy arrived here порыбачить. He entrusted Dzheraldu and has leaned;leanted his(its) keep a check on her. And so passed time.
-- But, Dear me! -- воскликнула Merian. -- All this madness. Does Not keep here her(its) power, not truth, she could leave if wanted, she...
-- You forget about her.
-- You want to say that now she remains of own accord?
-- Who can say that beside it on wit. First she was limited by property. She could move on much miles in any side, then she much jumped on its. Then once upon a time, this was five years back, dashed away in Greytaun at a gallop and sowed;sown on train, previously than anyone have haved time to to find her(its) absence. She has arrived in house its father.
-- And that further?
-- Father has not taken her(it). He has sent her(it) back.
-- But why she has arrived?
-- Who can say that was beside it in thought? Do Not forget that this was her(its) cousin, but household tie very strong, particularly in such family. And she left married very very young, not capable even to light itself match. Strangely that she has been able to buy the train ticket. She returned.
-- But afterwards?
-- Afterwards разнесся the rumour that he arrives, Peter List-Smith, and she a little not сошла with wit, but he has not arrived. He has limited then her(its) walks by garden.
-- You want to say that she five years did not come out of garden?
-- Did Not leave. And then he has sent here Everkrichey, this poor relatives, and he has sent them to intensify the observation. They not very close, but all now that moderate;temper father, they her(its) nearest relatives after husband.
-- Mad history! -- sharply threw Merian, has then lowered the voice:
-- I do not want to say that not faith to you. But all this bezumie. You speak, I forget about her. But that with her? Why she became reconciled with all this, why she will not pack the belongings and not уедет? Certainly, Dzherald Skottou and rest will not become oppressively to hold her(it)? And certainly, anyway, there is people, which are aware of her? What about this Effingema Kupera? Or young mister Ledzhura? That he does? That...
-- Mister Ledzhur observes and waits. He arrives here each summer. He has set in order house and bring here live its oldster- father. But him нечего to do. Yes I and not certain, wants he now anything change.
Merian has recalled the person with binoculars, which she so has suddenly seen in its first evening in Geyze.
-- He does not see her(it), does not communicate with her?
-- Him is not allowed be seen with her, and, insofar I know, he does not support the relationship with her. He could only worsen her(its) position, only bring her harm.
-- But all this terribly. But as you? You may help her? Certainly, you not on their side?
-- That signifies to help her?
-- But I still do not understand. Really she wants to remain here?
-- Possible. You should remember that she believer of the person.
-- But what attitude has hereto religion? Realy she... You think, she has really pushed him(it)?
-- Do Not know. Possible, and she now does not know. But people sometimes enter aside from its will.
-- You want to say that she anyway feels its blame. But as you think, she has pushed him(it)? He has lingered:
-- Yes, possible, but this not it is important. She accuses itself in this action, and nobody has a no right to remove this accusation with it.
-- I simply can not itself to present, as possible remain so long in one closed place. Wonder, as she not сошла with wit.
-- There is nuns in Blekporte, which whole life conduct in else замкнутых places.
-- But they have a faith.
-- Possible, beside mrs List-Smith too there is faith.
-- Yes, but she not right. I want to say, impossible under be given such sort thing. This terribly. And this in the same way bad for it, either as for it. The People in county are aware of her?
-- Local inhabitants? Yes, know. She became the legend in these edge. They consider that if she will come out of garden, that умрет.
-- They think that she under заклятием really?
-- Yes. And they suppose that, when will expire seven years, with her something will occur.
-- Why seven years? Only therefore that for such period what- that events occur in fairy tale? But seven years end presently?
-- Yes. However until предвидится no surprises.
-- But something have even so occurred. Has Arrived ya. He with doubt kept quiet, as it is woke;waked mentally shrugging.
-- Why I have arrived? -- has asked Merian. She was for the first time conceived about its place in this histories. The Terrible tale became for it reality, she still not окончена. And in this histories nothing do not occur naugad. -- Who has solved that I must arrive and why?
-- Puzzles and me, -- confessed on. -- I think, this could be simply minute compassion. Or, possible, they wanted to you the steels than-that like looking компаньонки after her.
-- But for whom I must supervise, I want to say, who can be beside it?
-- About, for any. For instance, for mister Kuperom. He is one of the little of the people, to whom is allowed to visit her(it). He is a harmless person. But it is necessary to have an компаньонку that spare be once certified. But else this possible transform in some torture.
-- What torture?
-- Give her to become attached to you, but then deprive. All best горничные disappeared. Will be an мудрее with your sides -- not too approach with her. And one more. Do Not do its enemy Dzheralda Skottou.
The Unexpected flash of the understanding its dug the обожгла her(its) terrible fervour: here is for who she will r -- for Dzheralda Skottou. Will Become counteracting him angel. Foughting with Skottou, she will fall into this history. The Thought quickly flashed by, and, not having haved time to on she сосредоточиться, Merian has having continued:
-- But why her(its) friends -- you, mister Ledzhur, mister Kuper -- do not convince her(its) leave? She can not peacefully wait while he softens and forgive her(it). I seem, she is really found under hypnosis if hitherto believes that must remain zdes'. Does Not follow arouse her(it)? I all this seems such unhealthy, such unnatural.
-- All spiritual unnatural. The Soul under бременем sin can not take refuge the flight. That occurs here with her, anyway occurs and with all us. Impossible separate her(it) from her(its) sufferings, this too in a complicated way, too refined. We must play in her(its) play, what she nor was, and believe in that, in that she believes. So much for that we can do for it.
-- Well, this not that I am going to to do, -- has said Merian. -- I want to speak to her about liberty.
-- Do Not do this, -- has emphatically said on. -- Presently this nothing for she does not signify. That you nor thought about her(its) heart and shower even though you consider that she simply is afraid the external world or bewitched empty fantasy and by half сошла with wit, do not talk with her about liberty. She has found for these last years deep tranquillity spirit. I am thought, she became reconciled with the God. Do Not try to break her(its) quietness. Yes you, sooner whole, and will not manage even though you try. She is a more strong personality, than you present itself. But please, do not arouse to talk with her. She created own world, and this best, than she possesses that you nor thought.
Merian in darkness has energetically swung the head:
-- But occasionly she, seems, feels such pain, such despair...
-- True submissiveness without illusion always. The Simple soldier dies in silence, but Christ оплачет him(it). She has mumbled:
-- Submissiveness that?
But their talk подошел by the end of. He has got up, and she too rose. The Body her(its) has become indifferent, cloth, повлажневшая from grow, adhered to him. The Distant moon having broken VWXbe drafty torn облака, illuminated him lane to house. They will go.
-- When you appeared here?
-- Five years back.
-- You, probably, were one of the courier, that, who mister Ledzhur sent to her with such risk?
-- Yes. I think, us better to fall into lock separately.
They already were on terrazzo. The Moon light озарил table, for which, seemed so long ago, they sat with Hannoy. The Ensemble of the valuables still was strewn on him, sending sparkling лучики of the cool light. She stopped to sobrat" them.
The Asphyxiating awe returned to her, when she took a look at dark занавешенные eye of the building. She has mumbled:
-- That will place this end?
-- Can be, his(its) death. Good night.
* PART SECOND *
CHAPTER 8
Effingem Kuper peered into window of the first-class coach. The Landscape became all more familiar. Now he already exactly knew that watches for each seen by him picture. Has Approached the moment, which always filled his(its) joy and awe. Here is round tower, right behind dilapidated георгианский house with зубчатым by cornice, then big bent мегалит, and here is, finally, yellowish-gray s, foreshadowing begin Skarrona. Though else remained the minutes twenty go;drive, he has got their own valises, parcel of land coat and has corrected the tie, attentively examinring closely itself in mirror. The Small train, swing back and forth, not too quickly moved onward. There was hot day.
Passed nearly six months with his(its) last arrival, but he will definitely find all неизменившимися. In the same way either as they him(it). Effingem continued to consider itself in mirror. His(its) youthful type always struck the people, знавших him(it) only through hearsay. Certainly, he and was still young in their own fourty with small though sometimes and felt itself old, as Mafusail. Effingem Kuper, certainly, reached many for its age, having got up at the head division. On itself he looked with light ironic liking: high, large, with rose person, big hard ртом, large nose and greater sulphur-blue eye.
His(its) hairs, by nature chestnut and climbing, became to be direct from constant carrying derby and use the butter for hair. He looked the the present man and, certainly, was considered in its encirclement clever, lucky and worthy envy. Pensive подняв chin toward its reflection, Effingem припомнил that Elizabeth, single, who dared to make fun of on him, has once upon a time said that his(its) loved expression . He sad smiled itself and sowed;sown, непроизвольно having begun to champ ногти.
Can, this time anything will occur? But could in general anything here occur? Effingem speculated about this constantly, thought and presently, either as the whole year, awaking on night or being on business meeting, moving on escalator, expecting on railway station, does not follow what-that undertake. Sometimes he seemed sebe (though he tried to avoid this thoughts) the most strong persons, single, who capable to act. Must Not he make some resolute action? Can be, they all waited his(its) action? This was a terrible thought.
Effingem knew Hannu four years, but with семьей Ledzhurov was a sign already twenty years. Max Ledzhur was a mentor Effingema in Oxford, and with younger Ledzhurami he got acquainted, being else student. The Wife Max has died at birth Pipa, and Max, when Effingem has for the first time met him(it), looked such peevish celibate that seemed, is woke;waked he created their own детей without participation of the women(woman) itself. However photography mrs Ledzhur -- reportedly, redheaded beauty -- always stood on his(its) writing-tables. Effingem passed from the first exam before exhaust art on baccalaureate, but then -- before rank councilman college. But, being impatient, soon, regrettably Max, has left the scientist a world for the sake of state service, where has succeed, has much succeed. Now, there was senselessly regret of made choice.
The Poor little one Alisa Ledzhur fell in love in the best pupil its father, having arrived on уикэнд from rooming house, and, to pleasure and irritation Effingema, already nevermore nobody has not loved. He опекал her(it), when she was a schoolgirl, teased, when became the студенткой, but then, much later, flirted with her at moment of the weaknesses, about which regretted. In this time he just was able to avoid the коготков an дражайшей Elizabeth and rejoiced that did not marry her. He was not easily its life with indefatigable, clever, doing quarry by woman, additionally served in his(its) division. In any event present relations with Elizabeth wholly his(its) made. Only sting was that
has caused the pain Alise, when else deeper вовлек become poor girl in relations, not having future, and has disillusionned Max, which always taciturn wanted that he married her. So all of these became senior.
Max Ledzhur had on it enormous influence. His(its) superiority acknowledged With enxiety Effingem on itself. The Mentor so доминировал on him that academic successes Effingema were not nobody are seen, except it most. He, no doubt, considered Max great sage and at young years simply worshipped him. Later, having become by man and telling lies in the same world, Effingem sometimes felt the awe before Max, be afraid not critics or недоброжелательности with his(its) sides, but loss its инди видуальности from this rapprochements. Sometimes he some time izbegal its former mentor, but always returned to him. At the last years, when he itself obtained the success, the authorities, popularity, his(its) attitude to Max again changed: he now afforded to make fun of on him, naming his(its) its , and felt itself free. Now he considered Max abstract and несовременным by essence, useless sage, and wondered itself that so long enraptured him(it) in Max. And all returned back.
His(its) relations with Pipom Ledzhurom formed not simply. Pip was for four years younger Alisy and later appeared on horizon Effingema. Being schoolboy, Pip was accustomed deride him(it) as soon as became the obvious passion Alisy, and Effingem suspected that boy on nature such constant, either as his(its) sister. However he felt the liking to Pipu and several times tried on can him with career. Unfortunately, Pip was одержим идеей that he poet, but under influence of the financial cares and under influence Effingema finally became the known journalist. One seemed absolutely obvious: he never nothing significant will not do. With that big surprise Effingem has heard from Alisy about amorous feat Pipa and his(its) curious consequence. Pip has finally changed the person of the world, truth to the best hardly, but, on edge her measure he something have made.
The Retirement Max has occurred the year or two after, and he has moved in Rayders to finish in solitude its enormous labour about Platone. He has offered Effingemu to renew their get old habit and has invited to arrive to to honour together greek texts. Effingem was pleased since got the big pleasure from reading with oldster.
He anxiously waited the furlough, thirsted to see the new landscape, even rejoiced meeting with Alisoy, which will too be free from work in institute horticulture, where she then served. On arrival his(its) less has pleased meeting with Pipom, which was in that place, loitered on terrazzo and observed in binoculars for nearby house with such type, which has first forced Effingema to think that there something затевается. However outwardly all there seemed calm. Pip was вежлив, Alisa tactful, Pip went to fish, Alisa -- collect the plants. Max was eager засесть for Timaeus. The Sun not stopping shone on seaside and majestic by sea. Nothing, ka залось, could not spoil the pleasure from his(its) stay here, -- nothing, except worrying vicinity заточенной lady.
Alisa has described Effingemu in outline happened history, which, of course, заинтриговала him(it). This заинтригованность finally and has intensified his(its) desire to arrive here. But now that he turned out to be here, all turned on-other. The Lady заточенная in its house, became the obtruding идеей, she has deprived his(its) quietness, even appeared in the dreams him. He left on walks to nearby house though and did not dare to approach too close, and conducted much time, staking out him from its window. However as well as not was able преодолеть its repulsions and take the binoculars. He has solved that must or
leave, or something do. But that has possible done? Ledzhury never mentionned the lady, and their silence as if formed the frame, in which her(its) silhouette has gradually filled all space.
That has occurred finally, happened непредна меренно. Once upon a time, walking late at night on bluff for Geyzom, Effingem lost the way and was застигнут twilights. Wanderring on овечьим pasture between steal the bluff and болотом, he definitively was losts and began already little be somewhat afraid, but unexpectedly ed on person, who turned out to be Denisom Noulanom. That has shown Effingemu road. There, only one tolerable lane so they happened to to go together. When they approached to Geyzu, rose the strong storm, and wholly naturally that he took cover in house, where Noulan his(its) enough has unwillingly called. The News about his(its) presence reached Hanny, and she immediately has invited him(it) to itself.
Effingem, certainly, as he hundreds once thereafter spoke itself, was is intrinsically adjusted on meeting. Not a single astronaut, being going to call at in rocket, was not so ready to output on orbit, as Effingem in that moment to fall in love in Hannu. And he fell in love. Now, вглядываясь in past, when he tried припомнить this meeting, so strange mixed in his(its) memories presently, he seemed that he literally fell to her(its) leg and lay there gravely дыша though actually they, certainly, the polite talk for glass whisky. The Hour after he, absolutely stunned, has abandoned the house and nearly whole night has strolled around under rain.
His(its) the most further stay in Rayderse passed the darkened quarrel, confusion and incomprehension. He could not hide its conditions. Actually he even tried to expose his(its) all on display with that pride, which often сопутствует любви in zrelom age. He considered that clever Elizabeth was a most great love to his(its) lifes. But strange, animated, nerve-racking and in ditto time meek beauty Hanny seemed him now full dangers lock, to which he will always strive.
Pay no regard to pain, caused surrounding, he subjected the evident delirium. He wounded first of all Alisu, which was devastated fit to jealousy, as well as Pipa, feeling which to Hanne Effingem did not understand and which, probably, has distressed or has even infuriated the frantic passion Effingema. Did Not remain in side and Max, which, seemed, worried not because of Alisy, since long ago already ceased to hope that Effingem marries his(its) дочери, but, oddly to say, because of Hanny. Max did not try the moustache тановить some relationship with nearby house, but Effingem has understood later, when to he returned the ability to speculate that, certainly, заточенная lady occupied and imagination of the oldster too.
Effingem has conducted two days in torments, but then left to see Hannu once again. He подошел to парадной door and has knocked. His(its) have let in. He ed with her in private and confessed in its любви. The Deal was made. Hanna was surprised and little dumbstruck, but not too. In ditto time he knew that became the unexpected surprise. She did not know, what enter with him and, seemed, considered him(it) with all sides to understand, is able he is inserted in her(its) closed world. Meantime she has surrounded his(its) passion by light mist to unclear pleading chatter, which was simultaneously and fondling, and asphyxiating.
She has said that can not take him(it) in earnest, has intimated that he is not persona grata, and, dare, велела he уйти. But has delayed his(its) hand at moment of the farewell and suddenly threw on it frantic, praying glance. He зашел else. And else. Nothing have not occurred. Hanna became more agitating, more friendly, not such fearful, more polite. When they thereby got acquainted with each other, he became to be afraid the invasions any time some stranger of power. This has not occurred. On some inconceivable reason his(its) visits were allowed.
However they as well as not become very close. When Effingem ceased to be afraid that anymore will see her(it), his(its) became to alarm the thought about that that to do further. He did not understand her(its) positions, her(its) emotional condition, in her(its) attitude to him was a certain uncertainty. The Missinging husband became to visit him(it) in VWVappear in the dreams. He drew his(its) lame, blind, filled with hate. As it were him hotelos" know that actually occurred in that day on top of the bluff, he wanted to know that has in general occurred, but was impossible to ask about this Hannu. First he often spoke her: , but, not having said nothing op ределенного or, more exactly, in general nothing not having said, she from казывалась. In the same way without words was clear that he could not become her(its) lover.
That summer Effingem пребывал on galley proof of the failure. He has prolonged its furlough, has taken additional, quarrelled with Ledzhurami, was going to to move in fishing hotel in Blekporte, but has not moved. He ranted and all subsequently confessed itself or, sooner, Elizabeth that in the known sense he, probably, even enjoyed this. But also then at heart showers he was afraid that him to come really to take away Hannu. He returned to its work, when became already impossible to postpone return, considering situation undecidable, and wrote the careful allegoric answers to opened friendly letter Hanny, expecting that her(its) mail examine.
He returned on Cristmas, but then already drama has taken wholly settled form. Hanna was pleased to see him(it), Ledzhury too, he has occupied conducted him place and became reconciled with him. He was to love Hannu, be her(its) servant, at the earliest opportunity hastily return back, and all must were his(its) tolerate, since he, inherently, quite безобиден. Really безобиден, has thought he, anyway, his(its) exuded such from the very beginning. But so uzh he безобиден? Certainly, he else nothing have not done. And him under was sewn comply with Elizabeth, done several acute remarks on cause exquisite любви, what is a position зачаровывало him(it). It, certainly, resemble(go)ed on some miraculous fairy tale. Sitting in its office and dreaming of Hanne, he has caughted itself on feeling of the strange guilty joy at thoughts that she was as it is woke;waked exactly for it заточена, is insulated and him is intended.
Later, thinking over reason of its humility, Effingem has understood that it, certainly, was sent him from Hanny. She seemed what- that inconceivable image absolutely given in, as it is woke;waked was sentenced to deaths or already destroy. The Instants of the plea were unclear, rare and not облечены in word. Some surrender lay In their base. That for surrender that for humility? He at all could not exactly define: transferred she Peter, Debt, the God or ka cue-that its mad fantasy, was in her(its) base the most great dobrodetel" or big vice. Certainly, there was something extreme -- something such, where he does not follow to invade with their own грезами about happiness and liberty.
Ledzhury were pleased his(its) arrival and have forgiven him(it). Max recovered from its initial distress and, seemed, now with frank curiosity greeted the visits Effingema in nearby house. Alisa too regained consciousness from the first pain, and though in their relations and remained the certain tension, Effingem suspected that she before the known degree was pleased to see his(its) clinging to beyond reach object, once uzh he did not love her(it). Alisa never ceased to be afraid Elizabeth. The Inclination to Hanne attracted Effingema in Rayders and held him(it) from нитьбы. That exactly thought Pip, remained
the secret, in his(its) unceasing and stubborn return hereto place was something unhealthy, deprived Effingema presence of mind, and timeses he seemed that Pip got the certain satisfaction at type beautiful заточенного creation. However Pip with tolerance отнесся to dug Effingema though in his(its) soft noncommittal glance sometimes slipped the irritating old boyish jeer.
The Train has slowed the move, and heart Effingema забилось the сильнее from joy and emotions. Certainly, he was harmless, and, certainly, all will remain as previously, and all each year he felt that approaches to uncoupling, what she nor turned out to be. He has placed the hand on door. Blinding, a haze penetrated by sunshines hung, as занавеска, on small abandoned station, where solitary figured awaited on platform. Sweetie Alisa. Poor Alisa.
-- There appeared the new girl, by name Merian Teylor.
-- Where?
-- There, Effi. Her(its) have hired someone like компаньонки for Hanny. She much formed, taught french in school or that- that in this sort.
-- Whence you all this knows? Called at to Hanne? thank You for this.
At the last two years Alisa has installed some relationship with its соперницей, noted rare visit, and this pleased Effingema.
-- No. I simply could not force itself to call at. Think, she does not yet know that I here. Denis has said me.
Alisa continued protective to pertain to provinivshemusia Denisu that surprised and irritated Effingema. He did not understand, as she can stand the type this small rat after that event.
-- Hanna indistinct has mentionned in letter of girl, but I have thought that the question is горничной. I pleased that woman appeared in her(its) encirclement, once uzh you has failled in this matter.
-- Not my deal. As you know, I descended to visit Hannu only from curiosity. Can Not say that she I did not like, this impossible, simply we have not got on. Anyway, we to each other do not approach. But this girl -- yes. Pleasing and such sweetie. You must get acquainted with her, Effi.
I have promised her(its) invite.
. The Thought about that that all women(woman) hunt on it, was not such uzh unpleasant.
-- Where you was met with this girl?
-- Adown on seaside, she tried to be going to with spirit and call at seaborne, but her not to manage.
-- Reasonable child! You, hope, anymore sail?
-- No, I abandoned to sails thereafter, what has grown stout and became looks like guinea pig. Apropos, I saw you in VWVappear in the dreams past in the night. We sailled together. And not only sailled. Well yes well.
This strange -- life, which person lives in снах of the other people.
Effingemu was of interest, sees him(it) in VWVappear in the dreams Hanna. He never asked her(it).
-- You little has got fat, but this goes tebe. -- Poor Alisa now really became thick: thick woman of the average years, loving dogs and carrying tweed. Can be, profession of the gardener forces the person so look -- stoop and go broadly placing legs.
They have right before arrived with stations on her(its) and were found in sleeping Effingema ( -- model first in Great britain of the fuel-efficient car of the production in series of the mark . It Was Released with 1921 on 1939). His(its) big valise, by half unpacked, rested upon beds. G tenderness and annoyance he has noted the mass a knick-knack, which Alisa has lovingly decorated his(its) room: seashells on heater, porcelain pussy cats and pawls, small useless cushions, вышитые small rugs and tresnuvshie saucer from best tea set of chiha. Absolutely deprived taste, Alisa was a tireless посетительницей antique shop, whence returned home, loaded by ma ленькими crackinged вещицами, bathed fabled cheaply. Alisa was скуповата. With home deals she finished with dexterity of the elephant in dish commissary. Possible, this was too connected with profession of the gardener.
-- As splendid you has prepared my room. But that this for charming wild flowerses? They marsh?
-- Yes, this strange плотоядные flowerses. Hope, they you do not eat. As sting that us have no decent garden colour, but accursed garden has ceased to bloom.
Now that beside I appeared time, I must r for it, yes.
-- Time?
-- I have left work. Realy I did not speak you?
-- But why?
-- Gotovlyusi to fighting. You know, passed seven years.
-- But you do not believe in this, you jest. Really, why?
-- Well, see, father gets old. And he has practically finished its book.
-- He too prepares to fighting!
-- But when he will finish her(it), I think, he suddenly much ages. She so long was with him. This will look like the end of his(its) lifes.
Effingem has grown cold. He did not remember Max without this books. Really that he will become to do afterwards?
-- Anyway, -- continued Alisa, -- his(its) more it is impossible leave one in winter. You do not present, as here in winter. Well, not quite present, you never remained beside us for a long time. Gornichnye, certainly, remarkable, but it is impossible expect that they will undertake such responsiblity. Now we with Pipom both останемся here.
-- With Pipom?
-- He has too left work. Realy I did not speak you? He has right before published the book a verse, I thought, you saw her(it). Now he wants for two years to concern with the poetry. Thinks that is able to do something remarkable.
-- Understand. All three. You will convince me that certainly something proizoydet. -- Effingem actually saw the favourable review on poetry, but not smog to force itself to examine them. He zaranee knew that they turn out to be weak.
The Beautiful redheaded chambermaid has stuck the head in door. All горничные in Rayderse were redheaded, принадлежа to one of the multiple норманнских , which else ed along powerfully devastated seasides.
-- About, Kerri, VWVcall at;drop in, expensive, -- has said Alisa. -- Kerri will prepare the firewood. They are necessary you, evening becomes much coldly. We Go in my room and shall look at type.
-- Regard, Kerri, -- has said Effingem. He has shaken her hand and has seen, as she has reddened. He knew that Kerri supplies greater liking to him. All горничные were such charming... Effingem fleeting has thought about Denise Noulane. Abandonning room, he for a moment took a look at vase with плотоядными colour and has thought, as cursedly they look.
The Room Effingema left on sea. А from room Alisy was opened type through valley on Geyz. For minute Effingem was sunk in contemplate of the lock, absorbed secret his(its) direct vicinity. The Lock occupied such enormous place in his(its) imagination that his(its) real type faded and weakened, but even so produced an impression light shock. Then, some motion attracted his(its) attention, and he has seen Pipa Ledzhura -- adown on terrazzo with охотничьей by dog Tadzhem beside legs and with binoculars, directed on nearby house.
Effingem, having frowned, has retreated.
-- Pip such romantic, -- has said Alisa. She wanted to protect Pipa from attacks Effingema.
-- Hanna us all does the romantic, -- beside it was not an intentions to cause the pain Alise. He примиряюще smiled.
-- sting That I have not been able to make from you romanticism, Effi. Okay, not panick, I do not be going to to try back.
Effingem looked at her(its) short direct, powerfully powdered nose, small soft upper lip, short selected light hairs. Her(its) cheeks
become полнее. She anymore was a pretty by girl, but certainly was beautiful, импозантной by woman of the average years, given birth to become anyone's handhold. As sting that she as well as did not leave married. When he looked at her(its) volitional person, blazing under his(its) glance, he became shame on you because of her(its) criticality.
-- You has reddened, Alisa! -- He bent over to her.
-- No, Effi. I to follow to say you on stations. I terribly caught cold.
. He did not want to appear before Hannoy with cold. He was afraid to infect Hannu and did not want to see her(its) allowed catch cold. He has kissed Alisu in lips.
The Minute she looked at it familiar hungry, pursuing glance, then smiled, having become to look like brother.
-- Much prettily with your sides. But now go downwards to pope(pa).
Having Turned, Effingem has seen on beds that under the first glance was shown by white figure. Now he has considered that bed was covered sink. Alisa has collected the enormous collection of the local sinks, in which Effingem now and then contributed its contribution.
-- You has got all their own sinks. I am a litter girl from colour in one tale, but I can not припомнить girls, made from seashell. This such glamour.
-- Enchant you! allow Me to give you nemnogo. -- She has selected горсть small seashell and has placed him in pocket. They will go downwards.
On terrazzo золотистая dog dashed to Effingemu, has put(deliver)ed the paws to him on waistcoat, but then fell on back and пушистым by curl was rolled away back, having revealled mouth like smiles and pulling paw. Some time has left on that to take these certificate of the respect.
-- Regard, Tadzh. The Regard, Pip.
-- . The Regard, Effi.
While Alisa располнела, Pip, seemed, became else fine and стройнее. He reminded now жгут with soft шелковистыми remainder hair on becoming bald head and with humid rolling ртом, his(its) fresh person -- reduced variant of the person Alisy. The Narrow sulphur-blue eye Pipa constantly flashed up and enlarged from own funs. The Fortifications were возведены.
-- Want to take a look?
-- No, spasibo. -- Certainly, Pip should be able to already understand his(its) negative attitude to such imperfection vkusa. -- I go to Max. We See each other later.
He threw the last glance over head Pipa on on going presently in shade Geyz, on coated red fuchsia declivity hill under him and get dark line marsh afield.
-- We расстанемся here, -- has said Alisa. As nun, vedushshaia him(it) in some high society, she detained beside threshold. He was throne her(its) mildly absurd delicacy, with which she pertained to his(its) relations with father.
The Cabinet Max left on opposite side from epidemic deathes, was thence opened type on покрытую stone plucked herb, undersized bushes and yellowish-gray declivity Skarrona behind. The Marsh was not seen.
Effingem подошел to door. Beside he appeared the nerve-racking feeling to need liing ahead meeting, feeling, is woke;waked he regained consciousness or suddenly took itself in hands. He, undoubtedly, respected the occupations Max. In the known sense Max veins by quite other life. He has accumulated here so much useful. And as it were faith Effingema nor varied, when he was absent, under each return she was revived newly. He smiled its sudden thrill.
Finally, he was pleased hear that former magic has not weakened. He has quietly knocked, has waited and then has heard long ago familiar and nor on that not similar sound. Hoarse monotonous chant раздалось From room. He has opened the door.
There вилась the haze from выкуренных cigars. Having Forgotten about him, Max sat in twilight, back to door, занавески were by half задернуты. He undertone
hummed незамысловатую tune -- chorus from .
Effingem sowed;sown behind it. Has Found in its pocket sharp splinter sinks, which gave him Alisa. Must be, sometime on road he, being agitated, has broken them. He всмотрелся in исцеляющие familiar lines.
Zeus, which leads the people to understanding, has installed the law: we must learn through suffering. When sad care and memory about pains hand down on heart in VWVappear in the dreams, so even against our will wisdom нисходит бременем on us.
CHAPTER 10
-- I never saw so much зайцев around, -- has said Alisa. -- They, seems, quite ed mad.
-- Not their month, -- has objected Effingem. -- Fished in recently? -- He nearly did not understand that speaks. There was morning of the following day, he went to visit Hannu and felt the killing irritation against Alisy, declared that will go with him.
-- Nearly no, -- has answered Alisa. -- Trout ate-ate goes, but for хариуса else too early. It is Necessary дождаться the бабьего summer.
Really, ensemble зайцев was carried and jumped on bright verdure of the hill. Effingem and Alisa went on removed from epidemic deathes to lane passable on village, crossing creek in the most high place, where he carrion by ensemble small waterfall, resulting from its headwaters -- dark marsh.
The Pair buzzard whirlled on head in solar sky.
The Declivity of the hill still kept the traces of the enormous flow. The Broad band of black boggy ground and strewn stone shown, where he сошел.
Now harmless creek, dark, as land itself, falling and поблескивая on sun, meandered between coast. They crossed him(it), scrambling over with one round brilliant boulder on another. Effingem absently gave Alise hand.
His(its) first meeting with Hannoy every time delivered him much emotions.
When he was an вдали from it, their relations seemed him nearly absolutely clear. But, approaching once again to real existing, alive Hanne, he understood -- big part of building is created by his(its) own imagination. That he exciting and vague image liked her, -- moreover, she even was влюблена in it, dogma seemed in her(its) absence. In непос редственной vicinity of his(its) daydream were subjected to the ordeal, previously than воплотиться in reality. Though later Effingem found the combination imaginative and real wholly appropriate and natural. The Sex, love -- all this, finally, to a considerable extent was a deal of the imagination.
Only, the first meeting caused the greater alert. Additionally, there were and presentiments that some change he all will find. Finally, such strange situation could not last always. Or could? Not that that he presented Hannu star, which becomes all less and less and then bursts. He and in itself not only did not feel the tide of power, but opposite, has found the disappearance to own will and determinations.
Not that that he expected that Hanna will suddenly run away from its prison or will unexpectedly require to her(its) rescued though if she this will someday do, that he must will come her on help. But no, has said he itself, she never will ask about this. And all position must change. But who will change him(it)? Or who will begin to change him(it), ибо cost(stand)s only to occur some change, as figures, so whimsical вплетенные in calm gobelen, turn out to be to be thrown away in unpredictable life. Effingem has recalled the remark Alisy about training to fighting and shuddered at thoughts, what trouble can turn any action. Certainly, he did not believe in legend about seven years. And all for who- that this was a big period. For instance, for Peter List-Smith. He once again shuddered.
-- Yes after all this Tadzh! -- Dog dashed to Alise, испачкал to her skirt dirty paw and забегал around nee. -- Must be, sometime thereabouts Pip. He has early left поохотиться.
The remote shout раздался With hill and was shown figure, going on stone вдали beside creek, where Skarron split on row желтоватых каменистых осыпей, come down on covered by herb declivity. When Pip подошел поближе with heavy shotgun under mouse, became is seen that he carries the vapour(pair) a pheasant.
Effingemu this did not like. The Whole territory, insofar could see the eye, belonged to Hanne. Careless poaching Pipa seemed Effingemu small-minded and tactless, not at all corresponding to sweaty циальному greatness his(its) dug.
Alisa, знавшая, as Effingem pertains to poaching, has said:
-- About, Pip, you has said that will go on seaside on hunt on brant gooses!
-- I too have late got up, -- he ухмыльнулся Effingemu. -- Go to attest the respect, but, Effi? Effingem nothing have not answered. Momentarily he a little has not lost the consciousness from given to fury. He never will understand Pipa. Now he looked at boy, merrily turned to sister to tell her about raven, which saw in Skarrone. Pip still looked before absurdity young that began to become bald. The long neck and small head protruded From gates of the dirty torn shirt. His(its) cheek has reddened from sun and was on-девичьи smooth. When he spoke, person his(its) was pulled. He continued to throw the impish looks at Effingema. The Handgun pressed to hip, went him. Effingem, exercised terror before firearm, has thought about this with mixed feeling of the delight and terror. Pip belonged to to some absolutely other sort, and he in this instant has seen his(its) not funny, insensible youth, but archaic graceful smiling Apollo, inconceivable and dangerous.
The blood dripped From killed birds. Effingem встряхнулся and only sobralsia to declare that he leaves, as on shoulder Pipa, on hill beside marsh, in field of his(its) vision has got the picture: man and girl went on lane from Geyza. The Minute after he has heard in man Denisa Noulana. Pip and Alisa have stopped to chatter.
-- Miss Teylor with Denisom, -- has said Alisa. -- Think, I follow to invite her(it) on lunch. Pip окликнул them:
-- Good morning, Denis!
-- Good morning, sir.
Pip definitely felt the liking to Denisu. Effingem has thought that was if someone have hit upon his(its) sister, and here has paid attention to girl.
The Pretty her(its) will not name, but beside it strong, interesting person with long, as beside dogs, nose, small bright brown eye and eager, compressed ртом.
It as it is impossible better expressed her(its) essence and was calm and serious, when she took a look at Effingema.
Alisa has presented:
-- Mister Kuper. My brother. Miss Teylor.
-- Regard.
-- You in these edge recently? -- has asked Effingem.
-- Yes. And I am devastated. I did not expect such необыкновенного landscape.
It is Necessary time to get accustomed to him. Sooner majestic, than beautiful, not truth? -- She had a pleasing clear voice.
Effingema has amused her(its) desire to like him. He pronounce else several total phrases, then to he were joined Alisa. By the end of talk he has clear understood miss Teylor with the whole her(its) absurd застенчивостью -- clever girl, more young variant Elizabeth.
Suddenly their attention привлек Tadzh, which run away to examine the lower reached a creek, but has now found Denisa, stood little in side from group. The Dog as it is woke;waked ed mad: he dashed to Denisu with choking, agitated get on and забегал around it, tail his(its) so wagged that covered all body.
-- Tadzh adores Denisa, -- has said Alisa. -- He at all can not forget him(it). Denis дрессировал Tadzha, when veins beside us, that else was a puppy.
Denis was immediately sunk in contact with Tadzhem. He sowed;sown on herb and has allowed the dog вскарабкаться on itself and lick in person. Effingem has considered such familiarity absolutely impolite. He took a look at two womans and has seen that they observe this malen'kuiu scene with gentile interested persons.
He in disapproval кашлянул:
-- I must go.
-- You направляетесь in Geyz? -- has asked miss Teylor. -- Suppose, mrs List-Smith waits vas. -- She has not been able to hide the curiosity, when has looked at Effingema. He has felt the minute enxiety. The Girl was not , possible, with her to come be considered. But Effingem could not see the enemy in this nice young making. He smiled her, and she has too answered the smile.
Pip, before this told Denisu about valors, shown this morning Tadzhem, was now joined to him.
-- Me time to return back. I have got up in five. There was pleasantly get acquainted with you, miss Teylor. Hope, you will come to Rayders to visit us?
-- With pleasure.
-- Yes, we must fix the day, -- has indefinitely said Alisa.
Miss Teylor has looked at booty Pipa:
-- Poor birds!
-- You вегетарианка? -- has asked Alisa.
Effingem quickly took a look at girl. Irritating taunt of the question has not sneaked;snuck out of it, and immediately he became clear that she has a belief about position of the deals. Someone, must be, has told her about poor Alise. He has felt the irritation against its girlfriend, but simultaneously appeared the desire and protect her(it).
Miss Teylor has mildly reddened and smiled:
-- Indeed no! I not VWVcarry out in life that sermonize.
The Town inhabitants so spoiled, but I certain that became вегетарианкой if me most happened to to kill the animal.
-- Good morning all!
The Loud voice straight for back has forced Effingema to jump. All turned.
Dzherald Skottou and James Everkrich, which steps has overlayed the noise falling creek, подошли from lower hill of the valley вплотную to small, absorbed by talk to group.
-- Good morning, -- have answered they, Alisa strained, Effingem politely, Pip free-and-easy, Denis nothing have not said, but miss Teylor -- with some a little observable emotion. Effingem has felt this emotion and bystro took a look at Skottou, then he has noticed, as James подмигнул miss Teylor. Here is whence, certainly, came her(its) information comparatively Alisy. Effingem has felt the repulsion to Skottou and James. They both were with handgun, and two pair(vapour)s корич neva ушей protruded from охотничьей of the bag James. Two reckless зайца not will more jump on lawn.
-- As pleasantly meet you all together, -- has said Skottou, -- us not often so carries. Suppose, mister Kuper goes to visit us? Well! You Know, we longed for without you. You neglected us. Ingenious was a morning, mister Ledzhur? I see, you have wounded two beautiful birds mrs List-Smith.
Pip smiled. He was turned to Denisu, and Denis, as on command, has got up before him. Pip has sent him pheasant and, not hurrying, moved to Raydersu.
The Small incident has occurred at ease, as well отрепетированная ceremony or as scene from ballet. Skottou has looked him after with expression of the comic suffering on person.
-- About, miss Ledzhur, hope, I have not offended your brother. I simply пошутил.
Say him, please that I пошутил.
-- I must go, -- has once again said Effingem. The Presence of the weapon disturbed him(it). On unexpected meeting, seemed, lay the shade persisting blood battle.
Denis with pheasant already moved to Geyzu. Miss Teylor obviously varied.
Skottou active has said:
-- That zh, we with James intending to continue their own bloodthirsty feats.
See, miss Teylor does not approve this, but, certain, she will not abandon to stewed зайца. We Go, James.
Big square and fine boyish figure left further, on hill upwards, and started to go through creek, their silhouettes appeared on background blue sky now. Three remained moved to lock. Incident and feeling
prepared, but unexpressed thought for minute has approached them. Effingem silently went between two womans. Miss Teylor took a look at their own fcompanion(satellite), but then, having frowned, has looked onward. The Seen small piece of coal of the eye so resolute expression of the disapproval, Effingem has thought that this unspoiled making look younger woman became and вправду new phenomena in their former position and, probably, can turn out to be active. His(its) has provided in a certain confusion own conclusion in respect of her(its) неиспорченности. Signifies, all rest were
isporchennymi?
To be distracted, Effingem began to question miss Teylor about that that she did before arrival in Geyz, about her(its) university activity and about time, called on in Paris. He talked with her wholly naturally, as it is woke;waked she was a young студенткой, but he once again became the teacher. And has soon noticed that she became itself to lead the непринужденнее with him. Aggressive and simultaneously self-conscious facial expression disappeared. Alisa diversionary kept quiet. They reached the winch of the lock.
-- I heard, mister Ledzhur scientist and concerns with greek, -- has said miss Teylor to in talk Alisu. -- Me so wanted to know greek. I have by itself learned;learnted german, but beside me never came short will power to r for greek.
-- I can teach you greek, -- has offered Effingem.
Alisa a little flinched, откинув head back.
, -- has thought Effingem, but word already not to return back. Miss Teylor has reddened. She has looked at unscrewed Alisu, then on Effingema. For second some незримая relationship appeared between nimi. , -- thought Effingem.
-- If, of course, you want, -- has hastily added he to smooth the sharpness of the impression, -- I could give you vapour(pair) lesson, simply that you could begin.
-- As kindly with your sides. I see, will beside me time, well? -- has answered miss Teylor. , -- has thought he.
-- Where Tadzh? -- has asked Alisa. -- He did not return with Pipom. I seemed, he with us.
-- Dog? -- has ed miss Teylor. -- She has right before run for Denisom.
-- Proklyatie! -- воскликнула Alisa. -- Now me to come to call at for him. Uzh if he with Denisom, he no way return home of own accord.
-- Can, me to bring him(it)? -- has offered miss Teylor.
-- No, no. He will not go with you. Let's soon call at together.
We shall Leave Effingema помечтать in solitude. Not we need emu. -- Alisa has taken the girl for hand and has pulled her(it) onward.
Effingam looked, as they leave. Before him вырос image Hanny -- enormous serene gold(en) idol in framing two malen'kih deleting figured on proscenium.
CHAPTER 11
He kept her(it) in their own embrace. In such minute Effingem felt the enormous joy, blinding eternal bliss and could not itself to present that he will be able someday to abandon her(it). She was single, beautiful phoenix, his(its) truth, his(its) house. He has felt worrying meek thanks to her that she became the source such great любви.
-- About Gosh, Effi, I longed for on you. I so you grateful that you returned.
-- You must curse me that I have left. I do not забочусь about you what follows.
-- Well packed. You beautifully on I take care. No, not to lower on sex.
The Kiss me, Effi.
He has her(it) to sofa, and they sowed;sown, hold for hands.
Effingem has examined the room. Fortunately, all remained former: bottles with whisky, heap of the papers, small lazy flicker in heater, пампасная herb and probity, more frail, than in past once. He has once again looked at Hannu:
-- With you okay? Did Not happen nothing terrible? Nothing, about than you has not been able to mention in letter?
-- No, beside me all well. All as usually.
-- Not all. Appeared this girl, miss Teylor.
-- About yes, Merian. But this well. I wrote you, not truth? I so lucky that she here. Each morning I awake with glad sensation from what-that good, and reason -- she.
-- But now and I too! I jealous.
-- But now and you too, expensive. The Bitterns little whiskies, Effingem, and give me. I simply want to sit and rejoice that that see you.
Effingem will go for whisky. His(its) взволновали of her(its) word about girl. But long Hanne will allow to keep her(it)? And for a long time girl will want to remain in this small тихом сумасшедшем the house? Hanna was obviously pleased to see him(it). But not to come him soon once again to leave? And not will he in month to sit in дорогом restaurant, listenning to funs Elizabeth about la princesse ilontaine (the Distant princess -- fr. )?
He became to fill the whisky. The Scent this person sort whisky, familiar and stirring, has forced his(its) throat be compressed. Some полузабытая dug mass of the passionate sufferingses suddenly appeared and concentrated as in VWVappear in the dreams, a little not caught his(its) choke. He stopped. All were same.
But that he did here, why in general he was comprised of this terrible masquerade?
He returned and got up before Hannoy. Her(its) reddish-золотистые hairs were зачесаны back and opened the high pale forehead. He seemed that she all очаровательнее becomes since each year though, certainly, not younger. Something be on her(its) forehead is written, what- that sufferings, but he could not read this.
Her(its) mysterious calm golden-brown eye looked at it with participation.
Sometimes he seemed that she behaves with him with exaggerated tranquillity -- as psychiatrist, having deal with patient. And in ditto time not she itself was an пациенткой? Who of them is been ill? He at stinger hand to head.
-- Effi, you look weary. You...
-- stop;cease, Hanna, -- he was lowered before sofa on lap and concerned her(its) short charge from dark-green льна. He buried oneself her in koleni. -- stop;cease...
-- Stop that? What is wrong, Effingem? Here is ya. And here is you. All ditto...
-- Here is exactly. Here is I and here is you. And all ditto. But so must not be.
-- But why? And please, bring whisky. I terribly to want, but if you intending and further behave so screwy, it will be necessary more so me!
He has awkwardly got up, shifted to the right tie, and has stretched her glass. She on-девичьи has selected under itself legs and sat so, сжавшаяся and remote, reversible to him its broad serious person, then gesture has invited his(its) sit beside. Suddenly this has reminded the evening party. Effingem was is still engulfed by some fury.
-- Hanna, we can not so continue. This is some madness, not so?
Her(its) person ed very calm, not frozen, but calm, as steaming bird.
-- You want to say that will prefer anymore to arrive?
-- No, I not this bore in mind, -- has objected Effingem. -- I want to say that we must do something, you and I although anything, at least together lie in bed.
-- SH-sh-sh. If you really feel (and you has on this right) that feeling has left from our strange, imperfect любви -- that zh, you know, I distress. But you also know that then will better stop our meeting. I shall be able this stand, Effingem, but for you this can become the big relief. I know, you worry on me, and me wanted that you has stopped to worry.
-- Not in this deal, -- in despair has said Effingem. He has compressed her(its) hand in frenzied molibe. -- I love you, Hanna. And want you, and this seriously. But essence not in this. I feel that we must that- that do to destroy these magic charm, which have bewitched all us, and all we stroll as if in VWVappear in the dreams. This foul, unhealthy magic charm. Its endless submissiveness we simply kill something.
-- Possible, -- she became to stroke from time to time his(its) finger. -- Possible, we
we kill that has a no right on life. Nothing. I know, all сложнее, when deal concerns someone, rather then you. The Disease of the other person often harder to stand, than its own. The Sufferings other you воображаешь, but when deal concerns you, you know their own possibility and their own limits. You certain, Effi that do not want simply уйти from me? I can present, what repulsion can suddenly possess you. You must be with me frank.
Let's, Effi, say me truth.
He was unbearably hear her(its) calm imperious tone. He wanted to see her(its) tears, hear her(its) weeping. He was necessary that she desperately need for him. He began something mumble, stammerring, then stopped, intending be cool, as it is woke;waked deals with enemy.
-- listen;hear, -- Has said he, -- I do not want to leave, you know this. I simply try finally-that do something reasonable and natural. I want to withdrew you thence and return to usual life. Hanna, allow me to withdrew tebya. -- He did not be going to to speak this, when has arrived here. Can, she some image has forced his(its) pronounce these word?
-- Not dialects so aloud, Effi. I much sting that I have loaded such burden on you. I know that this burden, and know that all this seems you, at least once timeses, unnatural and unhealthy. You was for me than-that absolutely unexpected, than- that impermissible, and I often think that me to follow to you then, acquaintance begin in most. If this has occurred presently, I think that ed you and has not allowed to нача лась whole this history.
-- Gosh, but you do not be going to to dispell me presently! -- воскликнул Effingem.
-- No. SH-sh-sh. Beside you such loud voice. Certainly no if you really want that all lasted. But this it is difficult, Effingem, much it is difficult. And I in some measure guilty that from the very beginning did not forewarn you.
-- I do not understand, -- sad has said Effingem. -- I have simply offered to withdrew you thence and want to ask: you eat?
-- No, certainly no. And you will feel sorry about its offer in following minute, you already feel sorry. Our life not for life and our love not for life.
We have run away from lifes, at least once ya. I do something quite another and, possible, I follow to force you to do same or try to leave me.
-- I do not know that you do, -- has said Effingem, -- but I absolutely certain that shall not be able to enter such a image, and distrust that you follow to keep such lifestyle!
She засмеялась:
-- Naley itself to drink, expensive. You know, I ненавижу drink one. When I dialect about that to force you to do ditto, this, certainly, does not mean absolutely same. So can not be. But I follow to force you in the known sense more to suffer.
-- More?
-- Yes. You suffer, certainly. But I fairy tale for you. We remain in romantic relations.
Effingem looked at hand in freckle, which still so tenderly and imperious fondled him(it). He felt, as is it deeply wounded, what serious accusations to him are presented, and in ditto time has noticed itself: But has aloud said:
-- Possible, me to follow to make a stab all that in my power, and free you the most direct image or leave you at rest. But I love you, and you know that this not simply fairy tale.
-- I itself guilty. I am all time want that you помог me, but not direct image, and in ditto time do not give you advice. I allow you to dream.
Certainly, I and such romantic itself. You are my romantic vice.
-- Not consider;examin me outside of existence. Can, not yet slishkom late to teach me, what help you not direct image. Finally, I it is enough love you to try.
-- Now I have only frightened you.
-- No, has not frightened. Hanna, speak to me more from кровенно.
tell;narrate Me about past, about that that you really think about this strange deal. allow Me to see that you do. Can, then I shall be able to be всецело with you.
-- But nobody can not be with me всецело. Nobody can not see. This was other illusion, else more dangerous. But presently we really simply tempt each other. Excuse me, -- she has talked with sudden alert.
-- I have frightened you, -- has said on. -- You know, this whole only old Effi, harmless old Effi. Me to handle good. I only wanted more to know that beside you in thought. You see, as all approach by the end of?
-- Know, this strange, but I since time nearly ceased to think.
He вгляделся in her(its) greater золотистые eye. Occasionly she seemed him foriegn, doomed, nearly demonic creation. And this fatal отрешенность from unexceptional existence he, certainly, particularly loved in her. The Thought about that to take away her(it), was suddenly shown unrealistic.
-- Similars, forgive;pardon me for such упрощенность, on sort of test, through which you must pass with absolute patience. Understand?
She smiled, as it is woke;waked he really all have simplified, has rectified the затекшие legs and has got up.
-- About, I much little that perceive now, realy only immediate deals -- dinner, fishes Denisa and so on. I felt the awe, blame and ensemble of the similar things, but not presently.
-- Why you then does not уйдешь? -- has asked Effingem. -- Why you peacefully not to get up and not to go? Not without fall with me, but simply уйти?
She подошла to window and stood there in penetrated by dust to sunshines.
Then turned and with surprise has asked:
-- But why? My place here. My care had too big importance. This has forced me to become than-that. Effingem has too got up.
-- I stupid pupil, -- has said on. -- But seems, I something have understood. You want that I ceased to be impatient and romantichnym, but became obedient, nearly lifeless. Can try. I not fool and know -- there is consolation...
-- In daydream? Yes. I did not expect such talk, Effi. But, possible, this even well. see, Has come time for us to pertain to one another on-other.
Not so kindly, but in ditto time better, more real. If we shall be able.
-- About Gosh, -- has mumbled Effingem. He felt itself deafened, as it is woke;waked process умирания already began.
-- Yes after all there Alisa, -- has said Hanna.
Effingem stopped near by her beside window. Alisa got through terrazzo, drag Tadzha on leash, for she quickly went Denis. Dzherald Skottou and James, loaded дичью, strode on access path. Vayolet Everkrich, with big basket, in accompaniment dark-skinned горничной moved to vegetable garden.
Type was opened Behind on Rayders, black bluffs, green island, blown on ветром, sea with рыбачьими boat thereabouts and steamship beside horizon. The silver aeroplane fell With enormous height, направляясь in aeroport.
Effingem looked at all this, being able close to shock. This was a life -- indifferent, but beautiful and free. The Life lasted. But that his(its) held here?
CHAPTER 12
-- And as she? -- Max has postponed aside chess board. There was late evening. Max and Effingem already certain time sat in cabinet Max and, having a little drink бренди, played in chess. Effingem, which much has drunk with Hannoy, but then and at dinner, felt itself absolutely devastated. He little was afraid this question, which Max always high-hats to him under each visit.
He felt such feeling, is woke;waked kept the exam and was ruined. This has reminded
education in college and the first painfully-pleasing belief about Max as about person, who can be offered only best, the most exact, the most deliberate answers. Max became first sample for it. Effingem never was able completely recover from convulsion.
Max worked for big eaten by table of the mahogany, on which he has cleared the small space for chess board, having postponed aside books and papers and having erected of them vysokie sleazy stacks, which during evening now and then with rustle were rolled down on sex. In far-ends of the room вяло smoulderred the fading peat fire, and single high oil lamp poured on mans its pearl-yellowish light, illuminating their person. The Clubs of the cigar smoke slowly rose in darkness, there, where громоздились the bosom of the books. The Remote pale spot loomed always being present photography mrs Ledzhur.
Showing caution, Effingem carefully selected the word.
-- It is Difficult to say. She looks as usually. Absolutely calm and has said that nothing especial has not occurred. However beside us took place little strange talks.
-- Strange? Why? Brendi? -- Big head Max has taken the exaggerated amounts, when he stooped onward, держа bottle. Smoothly polished bald top Max was separated from his(its) powerfully wrinkled person and necks neatly подстриженным mug silvery-sulphur hair so seemed, is woke;waked he carries what- that exotic hat. First of all dashed in eye him(it) in drainage type, as if his(its) ancestor mumbled endless псалмы in commissary or temple of the Orient. In ditto time his(its) carefully shaven person pale, parchment colour, as beside person, little canning be on air, carried the calm abstract mask a scientist, and only one, knew him(it) much well, could something as far back as him to consider. His(its) big nose since age increased, погрубел and was covered small bunch black hair, mouth was extended and повлажнел, but blue eye as before saved get cold clarity. His(its) hands, greater, волосатые, with broad flat, look like paws, finger, вселяли surd awe in Effingema, when he else learned;learnt on the last rate. This was big грузный man, but stooped from arthritis and long sitting for book. Now he seldom abandoned the house.
-- I was shown that she addressed to me with some request.
-- You was shown? You not certain?
-- No, certain. But I exactly do not know, about than she asked, and, possible, word better, than , will send the essence. I became highly upset and said that want to take away her(it). Beside me was not an intentions so speak, simply выпалил непроизвольно. She noncommittal refused. Has Then accused me in excessive romantic attitude to her and has said that I follow more deeply bottom in her(its) position, has afterwards noticed that I, certainly, ne shall be able on-persisting fall into it, and even think about this dangerously. Then I have objected that not yet late and I try to understand the situation. Then I have said about that, as desperately she outlived the created position. Then she вскользь threw that does not feel more blames and in general nothing else feels. But I have promised to be more romantic and more obedient. Afterwards us from влекли, and we have spoken of the other.
-- M-m-m. I so and thought.
Effingem, incoherent told about their own observations, has quickly raised the eye, not knowing for sure, what follows to perceive such answer, was not he sort of reprimand, but Max, seemed, was deeply sunk in thoughts, устремив look at photography wife.
-- See, timeses, -- continued Max, and his(its) voice became hoarse and muted, -- timeses, particularly in winter, all this introduces me such delicate that any action, including my, will turn out to be too rough.
Exactly so I never nothing do not undertake.
-- And that?
-- Do Not know. Certainly, situation зачаровывала me, in the same way as us all.
But in the known sense, I seem, I was afraid her(it).
-- Were afraid that she will need for you?
-- Was afraid that she will disturb my work.
-- Yes, you verne to its work, -- has said Effingem. He has suddenly felt the alert. The threat of the reprimand appeared In silence of the room. He has having continued: -- You verne to its work. The Book is nearly finished.
-- Yes, I to termination much closer, than gave to know Alise. She thinks that I погасну, as fire, when book will is finished.
-- This will not occur, -- has said Effingem. Then beside he appeared inconceivable painful predchuvstvie. -- But when book will is finished, you will go to visit her(it)...
Max has answered after short silence:
-- Wanted me to understand more.
-- Me too, -- has said Effingem. He has stretched the hand through облака cigar smoke upwards, feelling itself given, frightened and unnerved. He wanted somehow to relieve the tone of the talk and break onerous pensiveness Maksa. -- For instance, I wanted be aware little more of Dzheralde Skottou. -- was a subject, about which he has firmly solved to question Pipa.
-- I становлюсь more effective in winter, -- has quietly having continued Mакс. -- Then I can think. And certainly, speculated and about her. Sometimes seemed that simple reaction уместнее. For instance, as beside Alisy.
-- But that Alisa? -- with irritation has asked Effingem. Now he felt sorry that sent the word Hanny oldster.
-- Alisa simply dread and considers that necessary something undertake.
If she does not speak this you, beside it, certainly, there is on that their own reasons.
-- Gm, -- has mumbled Effingem. He knew that Max already abandoned to ideas женить him(it) on Alise. He was not no difference know, discussed someday his(its) Alisa. He has said:
-- Certainly, this terribly. After visit Geyza today beside I appeared the sensation, is woke;waked I visitted in police stations. When return back, begin on-persisting value the free society.
-- Free society? This is a miserable liberty! The Liberty has value in politician, but not in morals. The Truth? Yes. But not liberty. This such sleazy notion, as happiness. In morals we all captives, but name our medicine not liberty.
. He introduced that Max can some strange image to get the consolation from spectacle, occurring in nearby house. This captivity -- mirror image his(its) own image.
-- Me much surprises, why I do not react more simply. Think, this proceeds somewhat from respect to her(its) perception of the own position, but somewhat therefore that me, honestly dialect, all this seems in one's own way beautiful. But this идиотский romanticism. She was absolutely right in its judgement.
-- Unnecessary, -- has said Maks. -- Platon speaks us that from all things, belonging to spiritual world, beauty -- single that easier whole see here adown. The Wisdom we perceive very vaguely. But beauty wholly obvious, and us not it is necessary to train to love her(it). But since beauty -- category spiritual, she inspires sooner veneration, than causes the desire. In this sense chivalrous любви. Hanna beautiful, and her(its) history, as you speak, . Certainly if no other добродетелей, the other valuables -- such почитание can be perverted.
The Oblivion Max whole connected with Freydom was one of teh circumstance, which forced Effingema to love him(it). He has said:
-- Do Not know, there is beside me other добродетели. Think, me to should cultivated them in itself. If me to manage сосредоточиться on situations, explain itself that she does, I was able then at least once take some participation, be conquered by her, cease to extract the pleasure from her(its) solitude. When you have said that too thought about this, you bore in mind that I must stop to enjoy such position?
-- And this too amongst other. We at all can not stop to use her(its) as sort of scapegoat. In the known sense here is for what she and is intended. She for us -- expressive image of the suffering. But we must perceive her(its) as living being. And this will force us too to suffer.
-- Not certain that I have understood, -- confessed Effingem. -- I know, it is impossible think about her as about storied creation, beautiful unicorn...
-- Unicorn -- too image Hrista. But we happen to to deal with guilty person.
-- You really consider that she expiates the blame for crime?
-- I not christian. Having Said that she guilty, I bore in mind that she such, as we. And if she does not feel the blames, so much the better for it. The Blame forces the people to feel itself in captivity. But we must not forget that crime was. Whose exactly, possible, now already does not matter.
-- For me has, -- has objected Effingem. -- Though I not yet ready to look at it as on guilty if even she and has pushed this scoundrel with bluff. sting That I itself has not pushed him(it). I unbearable thought that she must suffer because of it.
-- Why and no? -- has asked Maks. -- He in privileged relations with her.
-- Since he her(its) husband, yes?!
-- I not this bore in mind. Since he her(its) executioner.
-- Privilege? You want to say, he that person, who she has a possibility to forgive?
-- Forgive -- too weak word. Vspomni idea about Ate, which was such effective for greek. Ata -- possibility nearly automatic turning the suffering from one essence to the other. The Power -- form Aty. The Victims authorities, but any power has svoi victims, themselves polluted. They must then send this further, spread its power on others. This ill, and cruel image всевластного God -- sacrilege. Good not completely week; to become such, become the made victim, must be other source of the power. Good not mightily, but in him Ata finally гаснет, when comes across on net essence, which only suffers and does not try to send further their own sufferings.
-- You think, Hanna such essence? Several minutes Max kept quiet, then, gone out cigar, has said:
-- I not znayu. -- And, little having lingered, has added: -- Can be, I too suffer from that that you name the romanticism. The Truth about her can turn out to be quite another. Can, she simply charming woman, Circeya, spiritual Penelopa, keeping their own admirer bewitched and enslaved.
-- Me no deal before image Penelopy. I do not want that Peter List-Smith returned and pierced me dart. You speak that net essence will not send their own sufferings further. But in ditto time you consider that someone must suffer together with her.
-- Yes, but she must not be a reason of the suffering. The Sufferings only then have a justifications if they clean.
-- You bear in mind compassion. Yes. If we happen to to invest so much labours, -- possible, finally, does not matter, dangerous she charming woman or no if she has made from us saint! But I until ready to such spiritual risky history. I simply wanted understand her(it). She possesses some unusual, unholy tranquillity. Today she, for instance, has said that nothing in general do not feel. But this impossible.
The Women(woman)s are created to feel, love. She must feel and must love. And she in one's own way loves me, me only sting that she does not love me usual love.
-- She can not afford usual любви, -- has said Maks. -- I think, this that she has understood in recent years. If she yielded to usual любви in such situations, that disappeared. Single essence, which she can afford to love presently, -- God.
-- God, -- has said Effingem. -- God! -- has repeated he and has assigned the question, which, seemed, was on tip of the language whole his(its) life: -- You believe in the God, Max?
Max has once again lingered and has answered same tone:
-- Do Not know, Effingem. -- Oil lamp quietly crackled in silent obscured room, directing upwards spiral cigar smoke. He has added: -- Certainly, in usual sense I, certainly, not faith in god. I not faith in this old tyrant, in this crock. And all...
-- I suspect that you secret платоник.
-- Not even secret, Effingem. I am a faith in Good, in the same way either as you.
-- Other deal, -- has objected Effingem. -- Good -- question of the choice, actions.
-- Vulgar doctrine, my expensive Effingem. That we see, defines our choice. Good -- remote source of the light, this unconceived object of our desire. Our fallen nature knows only his(its) name and his(its) termination. Here is idea, vulgarized existentialist and philosopher-linguist, when they contribute the notion good in deal whole only personal choice. It can be not determined not therefore that this function of our liberty, but therefore that we do not know him(it).
-- Sounds as mysterious religion.
-- All religions mysterious. Single proof of the God -- онтологическое proof, and this secret. Only spiritual person can perceive him(it) in secret.
-- I always thought that онтологическое proof is founded on rough logical error, and realized that I unable to present this itself.
-- Desire and posession true good -- united.
-- God exists since I want this? Be I проклят if I so think.
Max smiled and said:
-- I shall find the refuge beside Fedra. Remember, at the end Socrates speaks Fedru that word can be not moved with place on place and save its importance. The Truth is sent from separate speaking to separate listenning.
-- I shall acknowledge the rebuke and remember this place. But here tipoff on mysterious religions, not so?
-- Not without fall. This possible refer to all events of the cognition of the truth.
-- You think, Hanna wants true good? After long silence, during which Effingem задремал and клюнул nose, Max pronounce:
-- I not certain and do not know, are able you say me. Can be, all this satisfies some my need. The Whole its life I was going to to go to spiritual pilgrimage, and here is already close end of the way, but I still did not leave, -- has ed he with unexpected vehemence, quickly cut and зажег cigar and with noise has postponed the ashtray. Has Then added: -- Possible, Hanna my experiment! Beside me always were a greater theoretical knowledges about morals, but practically I and finger has not stirred. That is why my reference to Fedra unfair. I too do not know the truths.
-- Well, -- has said Effingem, which all more wanted to sleep, -- can, you and rule;govern comparatively it. Here, there is something unusual, something spiritual. This is an exclusive tranquillity...
-- Calm mouse, caughted by cat! -- sharply threw Alisa beside it for back. She has mended so quietly that her(its) have not noticed.
Alisa обошла around table and with noise has put(deliver)ed the tray between two mans.
-- Here is your tea. I have found this verbena that Effi bring from France.
Hope, she good though and aging as mountains.
CHAPTER 13
Expensive Effi!
Return soon, without you in office hell. When you here (amusing
the thing, she was opened me only presently and, possible, is connected with that that you brilliant manager), when you here, seems that you whole day nothing do not do (the flippant words your subordinated). But as soon as you leave, all collapse (us this disturbs and unhinges). We are woke;waked cease to understand, why come here on morning, sit for these tables and sort the papers. Without you all this seems absurd, and, possible, having returned, you will find that all we disappeared, office опустел and telephones is rung in empty room. This I try to explain, as you, certainly, will caught, my own psychological condition though not only me you here come short, exists the ensemble of the questions, with which employee other division not to to whom address, except you. Your box for enterring papers -- picture. The Poor fellow!
As solitary lady from lock Geyz? I, oddly to say, all more become attached to her. She appeared in the dreams even me. Can, me napisat" her letter, beginning word: Well well, well! However I sincerely hope that with her okay and you chaste entertain her(it) that, certainly, delivers her pleasure. And if in my respectful interest to твоему to adventure there is share недоброжелательности, I certain, you will not want to abandon to this small danmark. I only sting that I have not found твои particularities little earlier.
The Art and psychoanalysis have added the lifes a form and sense, that is why we worship him, but life itself has not neither forms, nor sense, to such conclusion I came presently, coming from own experience. Envy you, your abilities to virgin romantic historian. I have bought its liberty by expensive price for four years of the deep analysis then you, seems, was born if and not absolutely free, that nearly with equivalent quality -- with ability взбадривать itself endless small historian. Be Not angry with me! And return soon, but that exhibition Rubensa is closed. Without you I go there every time during lunch. You можешь itself to present the more great person, gifted most worst taste? Not to be enticed the идеей to steal its princess, Effingem. The Fairy tales usually conceal from us that this always turns out to be the mistake. Send its usual love, more then usually your Elizabeth.
Effingem has read the letter and has hastily put him(it) in envelope back. It has brought him(it) in irritation. Why clever women(woman)s always so foolish? He never met the clever women(woman), who in ditto time was not too sensitive, nervious and foolish. Elizabeth could be very serious in respect of many subject, but as soon as deal concerned her(its) feeling, she suddenly became cunning and prominent acute. Before what he hated this acute, cunning tone.
The Move of the thoughts has brought him(it) to miss Teylor. He was to give the following day first from pledged her, unfortunately, lesson greek. He was pleased to abandon to this ideas and supposed that miss Teylor too tactfully has forgotten his(its) promise, but Alisa has persisted. Persistently wanting deliver itself as large as possible pains, reproachful глядя on Effingema, she has declared that, certainly, this miraculous plan must be realized. This will so well dlia them both, not truth? The Unintelligent women(woman)s can be too very foolish.
Possible, all women(woman) foolish. But certainly, not Hanna. At heart consciousnesses vaguely and непроизвольно flashed by the thought that Hanna not quite woman. No, certainly, he not that wanted to say, she, of course, woman. Effingem with irritation has recalled the remark Elizabeth that he on-persisting is afraid the womans. To poor fellow Elizabeth as well as did not return the good sense hereon analysis.
He has peered in window and has seen Pipa Ledzhura with fishing attribute, moved on hill upwards, his(its) marsh boots hung down through shoulder. There was deaf послеполуденное time. Max, which tolerate could not this hour, right before deleted to repose, having quoted Effingemu poem Alkmena about VWVappear in the dreams, Effingem always correlated him(it) with in the night. He mumbled the poetry presently, considering their as reason for mysterious and bewitched сиесты. The Day was such hot and calm that seemed quite south. The Tops of the mountains and deep gorges, tree, bees with broad wing -- all have rescued, as magic creation around lock sleeping beauties. Alisa, certainly, has too rescued, either as beautiful redheaded горничные. He fleeting has presented Kerri. The House kept quiet near by silent by sea. Only Pip, blasphemous as always, contrary to all stayed awake and something carelessly замышлял. Seen, as he leaves, Effingem has felt immediate irritating desire to follow him and prevent him.
He knew from talk for lunch that Pip was going to to caught the trout on Devilish Dam. He has solved to follow him and assign finally that questions, which building was so it is difficult and cruelly cloth in word. Anyway, came time to pen in corner noncommittal, flitting and derisive Pipa, press and some image to force be explained.
This in the morning Effingem awoke with unpleasant feeling, which partly отнес on count of the alcohol, but partly on count of the talk with Max on the eve at night. He still could not understand, why even light tipoff on possibility of the qualification Max feedforward with Hannoy caused the repulsion beside it. He valued the interest of the oldster to his(its) histories and rejoiced him, but him was it is important to save its own estimation that all remained exactly tale. He raised no objection, but even enjoyed that strange circumstance that Max and Hanna somehow communicated since their contact was realized through it. But he did not want to beside Max poiavilsia independent look at situation. Possible, not to follow to encourage the oldster, can, him in general not to follow to talk with him about Hanne. These talks were too abstract, they belonged to to the world of the book Max, and Effingem felt with some getting cold misgiving that he does not want to carry the image Hanny in this world. So today beside Effingema appeared the deliberate desire to translate all on more primitiv level, and thought to overtake and question Pipa attracted his(its) its detective base.
Effingem, certainly, and earlier tried to question Pipa, but not in most begin. Then delicacy, conditioned by privileged position Pipa, forced his(its) keep quiet. But time has gradually changed their relations. Effingem became to see in Pipe outsider, object, pertaining to past, but when he has understood that Pip pertains to situations as watcher, that began mildly to despise him(it). Afterwards he tried to question him(it) tactfully, wisely, исподволь, but in vain. Pip obviously enjoyed, tempting him(it) and intimating on revelations, but kept the able lack of information and nothing do not speak. Serdyasi and on itself, and on its tormentor, Effingem has finally understood that his(its) собст венное, so easy guessed, feeling superiority on from carrying to Pipu helped to close the mouth of the last. He to follow to question Pipa from the very beginning, then, when he considered his(its) holy object, but in him most need less. And all time, gradually working at relations dramatis personae*, now again, as he felt, contributed change. He вырос, has gained the big authority, and him was for the first time shown that he, certainly, will force Pipa to speak.
Pip already has far left along creek, and Effingem absolutely запыхался, when has seen him(it). He has given the persecuted big advantage. Effingem
has left on <хамбере> ( -- mark of the passenger car to companies ) Max, which has left adown beside dams.
Then he вскарабкался on declivity whirlled, coated sheet of the ravine, around creek, fallen by rows narrow deafening waterfall in dark clefts. He passed the ensemble an известняковых steps and poles, which first takeаased the ruins of some high-priced whim of the eighteenth age, but has later understood that this creation of the nature. Now he left on поросший heather peat area, where creek run between hummock, поросшими bunch of the herb, in broad brilliant plants, which clear and bright nebo has painted in metallic-blue colour. There and was Pip. He stood in one of the pond, having scattered wood in calm water, reached him before medium boot.
Ef-фингэм, nothing not understood in fish fishing, stopped not for long to watch, knowing that Pip feels his(its) presence. The Dance moving woods continuously lasted, when she inconceivable, but determined by image was twisted and untwisted on head of the fisherman and sent the fly fondling motion on hardly alarmed surface of water.
When Pip has solved that has forced Effingema to wait it is enough long, he has handily grasped the wood, засунул end fishing rods in boot and slowly left on coast, certain moving legs in calm, but energetically running ручье.
-- Regard, Effi. You not in much-that gets prettier the condition? Still puff, as dolphin. Came be taught?
-- No, thank you. I simply wanted to speak to you, Pip. -- Certainly, now, seen in pond solitary, sunk in itself грациозную figure, he has clear understood, what идиотством was ask the courtesies beside maniac, which have right before torn away from enjoyment its mania.
-- Always pleased to talk, Effi. You has a matches? I have taken the tube and tobacco, but has forgotten the matches. You me is sent by God.
Pip looked rather attentive and, seemed, пребывал in get prettier the mood. But he always was such. Sometimes Effingemu came to mind that good mood, with which Pip always greeted him(it), was a result given ripple of laughter, caused why-that beside it appearance Effingema.
Effingem behaved with value. He has got the matches and keeped a check on that, as humid lips Pipa snuggled to tube. Has Seen that eye Pipa merrily enlarged, вглядываясь in it, when with tube was finished. Light ветерок, risen closer to evening, referred the smoke through pond away and pulled at the remainder a hair Pipa on his(its) graceful head.
-- You has went fishing?
-- No else. But hope. I пользуюсь the new fly. See. Alisa speaks that in these peat creek impossible to fish with dry fly, but I consider, mozhno. -- With tube in рту Pip has shown elaborated bound tiny reddish-golden-blue subject.
-- These pieces absolutely do not look like persisting flies, -- has said Eффингэм.
-- Where wing beside it?
-- Wing do not need. See, trout can not see the wing. But we try to present her(it) with standpoint of the trouts.
-- From what she is made?
-- From rayon and human hair. Effingem intently looked at reddish-золотистую thing with sudden incomprehensible shudder.
-- Whose?
-- Kerri. This duty горничных. And Tadzha too, only I нахожу that his(its) wool several тяжеловата.
-- Tadzha no with you? -- Effingem still could not regain consciousness because of these hair.
-- No. The Trout has taken him(it) for otter!
-- You caught the trout? Or all that will get?
-- Nothing else will fall into this time. September -- best month for trout. Though around there is ensemble and other fish. The Pike, for instance. I right before saw enormous. Earlier, the huge pike водилась in small lake, which, as you know, became the reason of the flood. Denis speaks that saw
here once upon a time pike five feets by length, and I faith to him. Interesting, where were given these pikes. Remarkable fish though and вселяет occasionly terror. Large, as a rule, females. They often eat their own husbands, ha-ha!
-- Ha-ha, -- was called back Effingem. He felt that already wholly it is enough to speak of rybe. -- listen;hear, Pip, not to sit down us while you smoke its tube. There is much things, about which I want to speak to you and about than, I think, I follow to know. I it is enough long waited. Excuse me that I have overtaken you here, but we could not speak in Rayderse. You understand.
-- Realy? -- has asked Pip. -- That zh, here plenty of room and wholly secluded.
They sowed;sown on stone. Effingem has immediately felt that here even too much places and too secluded. The Sky, where took off the invisible lark, was excessively big and high, and they under he looked tiny and small with its заговорщической by conversation. On pond, slowly waving wing, has пролетела the heron, momentarily having rejected on it shade, then she was lowered in removal and has got up in upper current creek still. The Water rat, a little подняв nose on water, взбо роздила surface by neat wave and disappeared ashore. The Ouzel, as indefatigable shade, moved with stone on kameni. ]лизабет has said that all this reminds the picture Karpachcho.
-- That from itself present Dzherald Skottou? -- has asked Effingem.
Pip peered into side, on pond, mildly whistling through tube.
-- See, all rise on supper to evening. On water have run hardly observable turn;curl.
-- Let's, Pip, -- has said Effingem. -- I deserve from кровенности.
-- I do not know, what you deserve, Effi, -- has said Pip. -- But you obviously exaggerate my knowledges, but I meantime nothing do not know, in the same way either as you.
-- He became to correct the fly.
-- Accursed liar, here is you who, -- has mumbled Effingem. He never understood, what mode of behavior to choose with Pipom: polite, facetious, sharp, вкрадчивую, -- he испробовал their all.
Pip засмеялся and said:
-- I must try to scatter else once-another. My intuition prompts me that there hungry fish. Remain here and not to move.
He once again carefully зашел in water, has waited while water around his(its) boot quiets down, and began to scatter the fishung line. In covered by haze soft light pond weakly поблескивал, he was серовато- blue in the middle and colour brown эля along coast. Vdali narrow blanching band spume has described the coated pebble a coast, there still stood the distant heron, замерев as stone. The Long fishung line Pipa завивалась, as if noiseless whip of the shepherd, moving in idle arabesque, and, seemed, momentarily замерла on his(its) head to then мелькнуть in vertical dash. Tiny золотистая fly was lowered and has ed, искушающе approaching to light зыби. Then Pip undulations, during which wood became invisible, has handily raised her(it) in air.
He pelted her(it) once again and once again. Effingem dreamy observed, but then became to think about Hanne.
Gracioznoe reiterative moving the fishung line was suddenly broken, and Pip sharply dashed onward in more deep water. Effingem сосредоточился. The Fishung line with whistle quickly run away, since trout raced to coverture of the opposite coast. Pip, broadly having placed legs, stood in most centre of the pond already, he gave the fishung line to unwind, has then held her(it) and began carefully to pull. The Trout having felt jerk, has changed the direction and rushed vniz adrift.
When Effingem подошел to water, Pip approached back ashore, stumbling on stone and slippery shoal, and двинулся for trout on direction to the following pond, once again having released fishung line and having criticized Effingema that that turned out to be on way.
The Trout reached the narrow part a creek and for second flashed by the silver flash in quick water between stone. Pip dashed right behind, high подняв fishing rod. Tight drawing wood терлась about boulders, passed them and hastily escaped in deep medium of the following pond. Effingem, having slipped on wet stone and having soaked one leg, has retreated and majestic moved around on springy herb. When he has once again overtaken Pipa, all were nearly horse is honoured. Pip stood deeply in water, tightenning fish to itself. He nearly with tenderness ed on its victim. When fish turned out to be quite close, having risen on light in bright transfusing rainbow, Pip has slowly retreated, has then got the fishing net, which was attached to his(its) back, has lowered him(it), having placed handle between legs, and has quickly penned fish in it. At the following moment with cheer of the triumph he sloshed back ashore.
-- Weighs three pounds, Effi! You will bring me good luck!
Effingem looked at greater бьющуюся fish with pity and repulsion. She was quite alive. Pip for head has pulled out her(it) from net, has freed the wood and, previously than Effingem has haved time to be unscrewed, has killed the trout, having placed thumb to her in mouth and having broken back by quick moving the hand. Such is an instant transition, such terrible secret. Effingem sowed;sown on stone, feelling дурноту.
Pip промок and got all dirty the dirt short of belt. The Person his(its) shone, but humid hairs adhered to small round head. He began to drag the marsh boots, denuding dark cotton wool trousers, прилипшие to leg.
He seemed long, fine, коричневатым by water elf.
-- Well, me already anymore повезет segodnya. -- He bent around silvery dead to trouts, lain between them on herb, and has ironned ee. -- About than you want that I have told you, Effi?
Effingem, hunched on trout and sad her(its) once глядывавший, was sharply rectified. Pip stood nearly on knee. The Exaltation has alterred by sawing in merry, agitated, teasing expression. The Sky behind he became золотистым.
-- All, -- has said Effingem, watchful and sharply feelling changeable mood Pipa. -- But first of all about Skottou. I nikogda could not understand his(its) dug here. Can, you will be able to tell me.
Pip was rocked slightly on heel, but was then lowered on herb, one his(its) hand легла on become numb fish. He peered into side from Effingema, on pond, newly became calm and calm after недавней of the frantic chase. Once again rose on surface of the trouts.
-- Hanna never talked with you about Dzheralde?
-- No. I never asked.
-- Amusing you lad, Effi. Interesting, why I never wanted to speak to you? That zh, on this there is their own reasons. I shall tell you little about Dzheralde if want. A harm will be From this not. Dzherald not quite usual, know as this can be?
-- Homosexual? Yes. Seems, I expected that Dzherald can turn out to be someone like, -- slowly pronounce Effingem though he never so did not think. Because of some unholy respect to Hanne beside it was not no determined thoughts about Dzheralde.
-- Dzherald local lad, you know this. He and Peter List- Smith persons of the same age and well knew each other else детьми, when father Peter, brother full-grown Hanny, arrived in Geyz поохотиться. Then, when they выросли, Dzherald has left, has got some formation and has gained the new pronunciation. This idea Peter, I do not know. Possible. Anyway, immediately after marriage Peter Dzherald was again on proximity, and Peter has settled him(it) in cottage in property, having given him some vague job title.
Pip was silent, still глядя on pond. The Golden light thickened, outlining his(its) head on background turned seaward sky. Now he has growed dark and tighten, as if удивляясь that emotion, which have aroused in him his(its) own words. He has continued quietly, as it is woke;waked about itself:
-- I think, Dzherald and Peter always were very clinging to one another if possible name their relations by inclination. Anyway, obsessed friend other. See, Peter was such. Do Not know, why I dialect about him in прошедшем time, -- probably, shall give desired for real. Yes, Peter too unusual. Though he, certainly, runs and for woman too. Inter alia (By the way (lat ), certainly. This was least that Hanne happened to vyterpeti. -- He once again замолчал, and eye his(its) pensive enlarged.
-- Anyway, marriage Peter has not broken his(its) relations with Dzheraldom though he, certainly, hid this from Hanny. The Attitude Peter to Dzheraldu in that time reminded the sexual feudalism. Dzherald was his(its) person, his(its) servant, his(its) slave. And he incited Hannu and all rest, insofar I litter, address with Dzheraldom as with servant, even mildly boot him(it). Of course, all this was a part of play, from which both of them got the enormous pleasure. Then two events have occurred more or less od новременно: I have loved Hannu, but Peter fell in love in american lad by name Sendi SHapiro.
-- I heard this name, -- has said Effingem, -- he artist, not so?
Lives in NEW YORK. But Peter still?..
-- I do not know, -- has answered Pii. -- Anyway, Peter was mad about this beautiful boy, but Dzherald came off wit from jealousy. Dzherald always on-serf's ingratiated with Hannoy, understand, this was too part of play. But then, when we with Hannoy... Dzherald helped us.
-- Dzherald helped you and Hanne? From jealousy? But what image helped?
-- Wholly naturally, Hanna entered him(it) in rate of the deal itself. See, she so got accustomed to address with him as with servant, she after all too by half феодалка. Hanna a little did not get undressed in his(its) presence, she considered his(its) absolutely home servant. But he was very useful -- sent the letter, organized meeting and finally gave us Peter.
-- About Gosh! -- воскликнул Effingem. -- I often thought... excuse me...
-- As we could be such fool that us have found such a image? Yes. This was Dzherald.
Pip once again замолчал, as подошел is woke;waked by the end of its tale. He was weakened on herb, having extended leg in humid trousers that помассировать roe. The Sun sat in bright red reflection, and близлежащие vicinities were painted in густо-green and yellow colour.
Effingem bent over onward, nearly persuading Pipa to continue the tale. The Magic charm must not decay. He has mumbled softly, убеждающе:
-- But afterwards, but afterwards?
-- Was Dzherald. That zh, afterwards... About Gosh... Anyway... -- He once again замолчал, as it is woke;waked shortenning history, then bystro has having continued: -- You ask that afterwards. That zh, but afterwards Peter came to fury.
-- But realy Peter really loved her(it)? -- This question pursued Effingema year.
-- About yes. Why in this distrust? -- Pip has suddenly spoken its usual careless tone, as it is woke;waked this was not it is important.
Effingem has felt that подошел too close. He has watched downwards on Pipa with veneration and envy. This boy knew usual Hannu, belonging to accustomed world. At the following moment Pip has continued once again seriously:
-- His(its) secret. And her(its) secret. That feels Peter? Anyway, he tale itself as jealous spouse and as jealous man.
-- But Dzherald?
-- I do not know that occurred between them. But when Peter has left, he has left her(it) on charge Dzheralda.
-- That became her(its) jailer. Here is what was a punishment Dzheralda -- become the eunuch Peter. But why he must stand this?
-- Dzherald? About, beside it hundreds of the reasons, -- has said Pip carelessly and impatiently, wrested the fine herb and sprinkling her humid чешую foreli. -- Why complicate? Beside Dzheralda no money. Peter, must be, generously pays him that he does.
-- But Dzherald as a result too заточен...
-- You romantic ass, does not воображаешь you that Dzherald all time sits in Geyze? He conducts here much time. But in gap he flies somewhere on plane. The Aeroport is found less than in two hours go;drive on machine, but from there he can fly to any point of the light. I heard of Dzheralde in Rome, Paris, Tanzhere, Marrakeshe.
-- In NEW YORK?
-- А, this other secret.
-- But Peter to return back for the sake of it, for the sake of Dzheralda? Will Free he Dzheralda, will free him(it) after seed of the years? Between they exist the unachieved deal?
-- Do Not know, -- has said Pip. -- I devilishly froze, -- has added he, rising. He trembled.
-- Finally, -- has said Effingem, -- what nor were an advantage for Dzheralda, he, certainly, did not remain here if between him and Peter was not an unfinished deal?
-- I do not know, do not know. We shall be late on dinner. Dark-green nebo pressed the sundown seaward.
-- Beside me adown machine. That will place this end, Pip?
-- His(its) death. Or her(its) nerves will not bear. Or, or, or. I do not know.
He has thrown the pebble in pond, pervaded now marsh darkness.
-- Good night, fish.
CHAPTER 14
-- That we with you shall do with mrs List-Smith?
Effingem did not expect such. Or expected? Realy he with that most times, as his(its) glance fell on become wiser длинноносую girl, did not get ready that his(its) will thereby lead to sum and substance? If only that, to that his(its) so have sharply, was an essence. He, certainly, astir expected what-that with her(its) sides, this sensation not without приятности was connected with frank interest to girl and desire to hear her(its) получше.
The Lesson greek passed well. Certainly, Alisa has persisted on that to prepare coffee and bring the cookie, having placed all in гостиной on specially installed table. And certainly, miss Teylor turned out to be exciting and смышленой ученицей. Having Armed beforehand Ebbottom and Mansfield, she has learned;learnted the alphabet, одолела of the inflection first and the second declensions and has found amazing значительность verb . And they thinned by image пошутили about that that greek begin with words , but latin -- . Effingem has forced her(its) form several elementary offers in strict pedagogical manner that has delivered him both pleasure. Immediately appeared the rapport, and Effingem has suddenly felt the nostalgia on that days, when he taught. There was something необычайно cleaning in functioning(working) the teacher. He has felt the pleasure from presence of the zealous alive wit, thirsty knowledges, additionally him was pleasantly show attention to attractive girl. Quickly has пролетело more hour.
There was still early послеполуденное time. Miss Teylor came to lunch and well has hit it off with Max. Alisa has taken merry and friendly type, Pip has shown the wittiness that, however, has not hidden his(its) worry their own thought.
Presently they sat beside one of the windows big гостиной. The Terrazzo was start;put unless consider sleepy, longing for Tadzha. The Sun that peered, that skryvalos" for cloud so lock Geyz opposite seasonly escaped in shade and met with declivity of the mountain. The Ensemble small пушистых золотистых облачков as it is woke;waked by crowd came out of epidemic deathes and quickly came down for peat moss bog. Midair was felt approach дождя. Effingem was quickly looked over around to be certified that door locked, and enough has firmly declared:
-- Do Not understand that you bear in mind, miss Teylor.
-- No, understand. Forgive me for straightforwardness. Certainly, I know all about established to situations, and I mortally wanted with whom- нибудь speak.
Certainly, 1гужно to do something, we can not allow that all so lasted.
The Person Effingema has frozen as mask. He was alarmed and silently looked at it. Then he has said:
-- You right before have arrived here and...
-- I right before have arrived here, and that is why beside me else there is little good senses. All rest, seems, absolutely became dazed.
Effingem has closed the books. He follows to be vigilant and cute, dealling with such hot young wit. He was alarmed, but in ditto time and is brightenned. His(its) person still saved the gloomy expression.
-- Well, assume, you know in outline situation. And I can not order you замолчать, why me this? That you wanted to say?
-- That we must rescue her(it).
Effingem has spread the hands and has felt the scent to hopelessness, come from threadbare furniture. The Room kept old memory about his(its) former visit in Rayders. He not once could be in these places. The Sky got dark. He has said:
-- Certainly, so each thinks first. But, believe me, miss Teylor, this not so simply. Mrs List-Smith does not want to her(it), as you were expressed, rescued. Her(its) makes the present position -- I suppose, more makes, than we with you present, -- and we must respect her(its) choice.
-- Nonsence! -- has objected miss Teylor.
Effingem has felt the emotional thrill. He could not understand, was he simply astir that's why that he disagreed the beautiful clever girl with person of the angel Mikelocci, or from prospect that his(its) catch to think some new and dramatic image about заточенной lady. After yesterday's otkrovenii Pipa he appeared in the dreams bad VWVappear in the dreams, and his(its) visit Hanny this in the morning carried painfilly-stirring nature.
-- See here, -- has said he, -- it is difficult to understand the stranger. This something very fine and delicate, as one of that strange sinks, which Alisa collects ashore. Any forcible or awkward interference can bring only harm. Hanna so has long lived with its historian and became reconciled with her. Her(its) life -- her(its) property, and what strange and nerve-racking nor seemed she us, us have no right to try to change her(it) notwithstanding her(its) will. Here much such that we unable to see, -- a great deal in Hanne and a great deal aside from it. We even remote can not guess the consequences their own action. Shucks, we are obliged to respect her(its) so to allow her most solve, as she wants to live! Here no place dispute, нази danmark, cajolery. We can much do for it, simply having given by her to understand that love her(it), but completely excluded any action. You should understand this, miss Teylor. But now let's terminate our lesson, well? Anyway he, seems, ended. I offer in next time...
-- Excuse me, -- has said miss Teylor. -- And please, call me Merian. I too thought on all this, and exactly thereby, but until came nor to what opinion. You speak, we can not guess the consequences an action, but we do not know as well as consequence of the inaction, but inaction -- too sort of action.
-- Please, call me Effingem, Effi. At your age, Merian, I was an existentialist. I advise you to read...
-- Please, please, do not get rid of me, -- взмолилась she, stretching hands through table, -- I мучает this history, on-persisting. And absolutely not with whom speak.
Effingem заколебался. This truth that inaction -- too action. That has forced his(its) see such bad VWVappear in the dreams past in the night? The Remark Pipa -- . But why her(its) nerves must not bear, remained beside it else nerves to not to bear? He has felt the strong desire to conduct the shower with Merian Teylor.
Began the rain. Tadzh became to scrag the door, and Effingem has got up to let in him(it). The Wet dog встряхнулся, but has then spared much attention Merian, got up on lap to with him. Effingem has said:
-- Think, I follow to kindle the fire. Becomes coldly.
They подошли to heater, and while Effingem ed to carry the match to paper and twig, Merian and Tadzh settled down on ковре. A long blue skirt was On girl from fine local tweed, which she, must be, has bought in Blekporte. She has straightened her(it), and dog with complacent type settled down beside. Effingem sowed;sown on small bench for legs, correcting fire. The Scene has suddenly taken the more intimate type.
-- As you get on there with people, I bear in mind rest? I know that with Hannoy beside you okay.
-- About, it is enough well. Denis Noulan rather pleasing and James very nice. I little feel nervous in whitness of Vayolet Everkrich, but she does not disturb me. Dzheralda Skottou I consider absolutely charming, only can not understand him(it).
Effingem was little are irritated this encomium Skottou and second felt the temptation to give Merian cue-what information, but controlled.
-- You nor with whom did not speak of Hanne? Who has told you about situations?
-- Noulan. But I did not discuss her(it) with him. I seem, he отнесется hostile to any idea something undertake.
-- Then he will turn out to be out of job! -- has said Effingem. -- He must not show недоброжелательности to Skottou.
-- Not in this deal, -- has seriously objected Merian. -- He really believes that she must remain here. I seem, he rather religious or something in this sort.
-- But you not religious? YA-to no. I, certainly, did not think nothing like about Hanne.
-- Ithaca, you see, -- has having continued Merian, unrelenting follows the move of their own thoughts, -- here really no nor one person, on which I could calculate -- in deal of the saving, I want to say. I thought about James, but he too young and foolish. And me not yet to manage to hear Skottou.
-- Leave Skottou. But you speak, as it is woke;waked really something plan. Wake the реалисткой. That you could do?
-- You will help me reshiti. -- She has turned to him their own burning brown glaza. -- You single person, who can help, and you should pomochi. -- She sat on ковре, nearly concerning his(its) коленей, fondled the dog and purposely intently глядела on it.
-- You сошли with wit! -- воскликнул Effingem. -- I have already said you that here nothing do impossible. But can, you better to dispose of the whole this, having told me about their own замыслах. Then I shall be able, having brought to reason you, you back. Prodolzhayte. -- He before death wanted to hear that she is going to to undertake.
-- My first thought, -- has said Merian, -- was simply speak to Hannoy and convince her(its) prepare its departure. I could not first believe that reasonable person -- but she, certainly, reasonable, -- can stand such situation and will not take the opportunity уйти if some good-natured person will want to help him. I thought, she has not left therefore that, probably, was afraid someone in house or therefore that has not been able prepare its departure itself. She terribly impractical.
-- GOODNESS SAKE, hope, you nothing she has not said?
-- No. I why-that has felt confidence that she will not allow me to convince itself. She in answer has wound some meaningless talk. And was not a sense simply to spoil her(it). Then I beginning to think about that to steal her(it).
-- Steal her(it)?
-- Yes. I thought if I shall manage to obtain that someone помог me, we could simply втолкнуть her(it) in machine and take away.
-- You finished romantic дура! -- воскликнул Effingem. The Image caused these word, really has much frightened him(it). He has mentally presented Skottou on road behind them. Here does not обошлось without violence. And he did not want to be one, will wake ego. -- absolutely impossible, you should were this understand, when thought over its замысел.
-- I have thought over, Effingem. Probably, I shall name you Effingemom. And
really, I have solved that this badly, since too wrongly to her and wholly could be not. Then beside I appeared the third idea.
-- Well, hope, she better, than two previous! -- He has laid under little turfs in fire. The rain poured On street.
-- My third idea such, -- has having continued Merian, -- idea of the softened liberation. See, all depend on that that you think about condition of her(its) spirit. Insofar I see, her(its) mood very inconsistent. Forgive that I dialect about her thereby. You know her(its) vastly long, than ya. But I and can not remain to not to behave accordingly. I really have much loved her(it), much. In the beginning, how do I predstavlialos', she simply испугалась this terrible person and was paralyzed by awe, then became indifferent and wretch, afterwards exuded its position in one's own way interesting, spiritual инте ресным. The People try to survive, and they always invent what- нибудь way of the survival, at least try to see its position tolerable. In that time when Hanna could survive -- возненавидев their all or detonated, -- разнести all encirclement on bit, she instead of this has solved to become religious.
-- You not very high opinion about such decision?
-- In general I nothing have not against religion though and not faith itself. But one, to she addresses, must take her(it) liberally and conciously. Hanna addressed to religions -- or spiritual life, or devil knows to that else, -- as person, resorting to drug. She was must.
-- I consider, this and there is way of the address to religions since person must. But I understand that you bear in mind. Continue.
-- And all time her(its) all more and more hypnotized situation itself and all surrounding her(its) people, нашептывающие her on ear on voice miscellaneous one and ditto:
. And now she simply bewitched, is mentally paralyzed.
She has forfeited the feeling of the liberty.
-- And that you offer to do with this?
-- Shock her(it). Take her(its) it is enough far to for put to understand that she free and is obliged to take their own own decisions. Am afraid, this too mildly reminds stealing.
-- Continue, Merian, -- has said Effingem. He spoke sarcastically, but heart his(its) suddenly astir забилось. Hear, as someone speak such calm, analytical tone about situations, speaks so, as it is woke;waked exist the alternative actions, which reasonable consider, seemed the sacrilege.
-- Here is that I offer, -- has said Merian. -- And I need one, will help me, and hope, this will you. We shall allure her(it) in machine. This wholly real. You often drive up to house. We shall Say, we shall offer her little проехать on access path. Then we will believe and sustain in the whole full tilt in Blekport, in fishing hotel.
-- But afterwards?
In room became dark and quietly.
-- I do not know that occur afterwards. This will depend on it.
Possible, we shall lunch and take her(it) back in Geyz. At least once, she will make sure that not умрет if will leave for railing. You Know, sometimes I seem that she nearly believes in this. In any event she will outlive the convulsion.
And if although little заколеблется and express the most slightest desire not to return back, we take her(it) in aeroport.
-- Dear me, -- has mumbled Effingem. He has looked at it with delight and terror, having felt, as beautiful she, but also dangerous, destructive. He must not more listen her(it), and since him instant was thought that he never перескажет this talk Max, he has understood, as powerfully she tempted him(it). But all this was a foolishness, dangerous, irresponsible foolishness.
Hastily entered Alisa, pushing amply tired tea table.
-- Well, well passed the lesson? Yes you quite in the dark. Kerri will here and now bring the lamps.
-- Well, thank you, -- has said, getting up, Effingem.
The Golden light of the lamp to got into room, and when he озарил their person, Effingem for minute has caughted the glance Merian Teylor and has slowly swung the head.

CHAPTER 15
Expensive Merian.
Enormous you thank you for letter. I you must one, I know, but was terribly occupied. Remember, I spoke that shall write the leaflet for Campaign?
Now that дошло before performance, turned out to be that there there is play for fifth class, which I ostensibly agreed to put(deliver). (At all can not припомнить this, but you? Must be, was intoxicate! ) Additionally they have solved to change the program, I suppose, you read about this in newspaper, but I have else caught some terrible virus, from which at all can not dispose. Well, enough justifications! Damn it! Envy I you, old woman if you more нечего to do as soon as read with mrs while you both not заснете! (I much laughed at your opisaniem. ) Though, seriously, province, must be, astonishing. Hope, you much walk. tell;narrate Me about bird, since, in my opinion, more tell not about than. And not duma that I смеюсь on you because of aforesaid. Remain under ferry nobody will not damage.
Wanted me although vapour(pair) hours to stay under ferry. However I нахожусь in absolutely opposite condition!
However, there is one bright spot on horizon. I with бираюсь to fly in Madrid in medium of the semester. Know, amoral to spend the money on oldster Franc, but I have solved that do not want взлететь on air, not beside having seen and . So we agreed to leave the company dirt-cheap.
This girl, Freda Darsi, with which you learned;learnt in school, too goes. She is useful us, since knows spanish. Must notice that she does not produce the impressions of the dunce though and too plump on taste of your obedient servant. I come you postcard.
I time to finish, since I wait aiming heap of the repugnant exercises. The Devil побрал all детей! Why their parents can not keep their own золотушных of the small bores of the building? write, Merian, you know, as I pleased news from you. Two your last letters were such short, I was afraid that you took offence on my silence. But вспомни that beside you more time, than beside me! With best wishes you, you stchastlivaia девочка, and as usually with love from your old buddy D.
Merian has put the letter Dzheffri in desk drawer. It has filled her(its) dejection, irritation and little scaring anguish on house. She could not frankly write Dzheffri thereafter, what has heard from Denisa Noulana that actually occurs in Geyze. She выжала from itself for visibility two feeble messages, describing landscape. There was impossible tell him whole truth. He has considered all this madness and gave ill-considered advice. But all this really looked the madness, and realy she gave itself such ill-considered advice itself not?
She has peered into mirror. On her was a new silk evening dress of the terra-cotta colour, which Hanna has presented her, having booked him(it) with several others and secretly having selected specially for Merian. The Girl felt itself awkwardly, accepting gift, but idea itself and that, as charming gown sat on her, has delivered Hanne such pleasure that Merian finally did not dare to refuse. Certainly, gown was remarkable. She, regardless of the price, never came short shrewdness and courage to buy itself like. Since necklace from ruby and pearl not much approached to платью, she parcel of land as completing штрих necklace from untilled amber, which after short searching for Hanna has chosen in their own spare and which she expected to leave Merian though so far tactfully has not said about this.
Dzheffri always absolutely fair spoke Merian that she will not die be dressed. She rendered the preference to formless exotic raiments, he liked the dim a simplicity. Actually beside them both absolutely was not a taste. But now, being in Geyze, Merian has felt that she adopts the certain elements of the good taste from Hanny. These quality existed in Hanne at a rate of the subconscious, but they infected, and though now Hanna shown the indifference and to its appearance, and to surrounding, she was is beautifully trained to respect either or both of them. So Merian happened to to abandon to many things, which she has brought with itself, including blue gown, which always so liked Dzheffri, -- now she has found, as terribly it is cut.
Later Merian has understood that lives on two levels of the thinking. On odnom level she органично fell into small dramas and joys, formed life in Geyze, which, seemed, completely occupied the consciousness Hanny. Merian never saw nobody so packed живущего in persisting, and itself she too vein hereby: anxiously expected meal and ritual evening whisky, created the small ceremonies from walks to fish pond, where admired the sundown, enjoyed the literature, as can afford only solitary people, beside which much little other joys. They much read aloud, considered the reproductions of the pictures, some time raged the play, connected with rhyme and drawing. Sometimes tried the hats, which enormous spare ed beside Hanny with past of the years. They spoke of маскарадном gown, about charade and about musicales, which just today and was to take place. After dinner, which at participation all soon состоится adown that itself presents the rare amusement, must will begin the musicale in гостиной.
So went the life in strangely инфантильном stiletto Marie of the Antoinette, and so half of the consciousness Merian received a visit at her participation, with joy присоединяясь to tireless cheerful and mischievous James, which was a soul to companies. But remaining portion of her(its) consciousness was secretly occupied other thing. Having Outtalked several days back with Effingemom Kuperom about possibility of the saving Hanny, she felt itself such unnerved and astir that could not sleep orderly, and occasionly she became it is difficult to behave naturally with Hannoy.
Upholsterring with her, Merian sometimes suddenly began to choke and redden. She talked with Effingemom passionately and resolutely, as it is woke;waked has thought over all these plans beforehand, but indeed they were made clear for it during talk.
Presence Itself this clever интеллигентного of the person, remarkable ease of their relations of the pupil and teacher -- all this has forced to take the certain form that seemed nightmareish-difficult and unclear, and she has seen with terrifying clearness that follows to undertake.
Thereafter, her(its) fluctuations came the end. She constantly thought about this problem and was nearly certain that шоковая tactics, attempt to destroy the magic charm by means of purposive violence will not cause the harm, but, opposite, can bring about good. Even though expect that in Blekporte Hanna plaintive will ask to take her(it) back in Geyz, -- that zh, they отвезут her(it) back. Nobody will not be able to accuse her(it) in that that has occurred, and treasonous idea is settled " her(its) head: she will with impunity be able to abandon the place. She can abandon him(it).
The Scarecrows, certainly, strong probability that that participants of the upheaval will are for ever separated from Hanny if she bring back into Geyz. On this has called attention Effingem, when the following day they have once again spoken of this. On this base and on ensemble of other reasons Effingem refused to take some participation in her(its) замысле. However Merian considered that her, possible, will manage переубедить him(it) if she solve to act. He already confessed her that clever woman can convince him(it) in than is pleased. With certain share
the fatalism she felt that continues the quest of the output from dead end by means of or unassisted Effingema. As she proved;proven him in dispute -- him(it) or her(its) can any time banish from Geyza. There was not it is likely that whomever liked the existing position of the things, and insofar him was known, days them in Geyze сочтены.
Effingemu did not like this metaphore. He has asked that she bears in mind, when speaks that days сочтены, there is beside it some real basis to think that time does not tolerate and situation becomes dangerous. What harm will Hanne from that that all will remain as previously? No, beside Merian was not a real basis to feel alarm. And all she felt that necessary to hurry since she possesses presently limiting power and confidence, which as far as possible must use. But mainly she felt the desire to free Hannu, split smithereens all her(its) magic encirclement and finally let in here fresh air, even price of the terrible suffering.
The Ithaca, she nearly dared to act, with Effingemom or without it. But without Effingema impossible while she will not find someone else. She itself will not die водить machine, and she will be necessary the chauffeur. Who? This has brought her(it) again to constantly appearing question about relations with the other inhabitant Geyza. Merian long, but uselessly staked out Skottou, noticed his(its) receipts and care, his(its) частые absences on deals of the property and merry return. She delivered the pleasure his(its) mildly задиристое glamour and buffoon ливая conversation, in which he her(its) embroilled. His(its) appearance brought her(it) in thrill. She never before wanted so touch to person, with which could not support the friendly relations. Alas, she unable was communicate with him, and her(its) plan to help Hanne, having subordinated itself Skottou, certainly, misfired. She not utratila hopes by some image to hear Skottou получше, but for nearest integer he was непригоден. Nechego was and think about Vayolet Everkrich. Denis Noulan never has not approved her(its) замысел. So remained only James.
Merian now was often seen with James, much laughed with him, he often carried her(it) on vicinity, but she could not hear him(it) better, than during their first trip in Blekport. The James did not undertake now attempts to obtain greater vicinity. Seemed, his(its) forewarned or he has preferred the simple merry relations with Merian vehemence of the first delight. Simple and merry he and was with her, but will become he ally?
The James водил machine and completely ordered <лендровером> and old <моррисом>, which formed the machine facilities Geyza. Merian came to mind that was comfortable at moment of the escape whole rest transport to remove from building. But possible be entrusted James, and if even possible, will not be subjected to he repression? Having Thought, Merian has solved that ready to dare the James if he will agree to dare itself. She felt with cruelty, already possessed by her from despair that James anyway better to be a little farther thence. This place did not bring him profits. However she still could not solve, deserves he confidences. Amongst all surrounding he seemed the facetious watcher, not having no obligations. His(its) light-mindedness could mean that his(its) not it is difficult will convince. Wanted her to know for sure.
The Patter in door of the bedrooms has broken her(its) cogitations, and she quickly отошла from mirror. Any time someone knocked on her(its) door, she tore between hope on that this can be Dzherald Skottou, and awe to get the dictation of the termination of employment. She has opened the door one of the горничных, having listened to indistinct speech which, has by a narrow margin understood that her(its) cause to miss Everkrich.
-- Input, child my.
Merian, feelling nervous, entered. Thereafter, as she has promised , she, having forfeited presence of mind, tried to avoid Vayolet Everkrich though and felt from this scruple. Never before she did not approach close to this room and even presently not has much understood, where she is found, so quickly her(its) have brought and so was agitated she on road.
This was an angular room in the most north part of building, left window on Skarron; and while majority of the rooms in Geyze was захламлено different relics, this komnata looked absolutely modern. Merian has seen white painted book regiments, white, fur-lined bed coverlet, field flowerses in black vase. Vayolet Everkrich sat in easy chair, upholstered мебельным calico, dressing in purple robe, on small table near by she stood the bottle шерри and two glasses. Her(its) evening dress carelessly rested upon beds.
-- Think, we can drink on стаканчику before dinner, -- has offered miss Everkrich. She spoke as about than-that usual, and in ditto time in all was present the tense sensation of the improvisation.
Merian has mumbled the word to thanks and sowed;sown on chair, придвинутый to easy chair miss Everkrich. She with regret and repulsion has found that glasses cover толстым слоем dust.
-- What charming gown. Whence it beside you?
-- Me his(its) has presented mrs a List-Smith, -- Merian, having reddened, has lowered the eye and peered into sex, feelling mixed feeling of the blame and insults.
Miss Everkrich after short pause, during which she relished the embarrassment Merian, has slowly pronounced:
-- That zh, why and no?
-- Really, why and no, miss Everkrich. -- Voice her(its) has sounded sharply and annoyed, and she has felt that already nearly ready to burst into tears from annoyance. Miss Everkrich was too attentive, and this forced Merian to agonize.
-- Please, name;entitle me Vayolet. -- Glasses were quickly протерты purple silk sleeve, and шерри зазвенело, flowing into in them.
-- Yes. Well. Thank you.
-- Then say: .
-- Yes, Vayolet.
-- Here is so-that better.
Vayolet Everkrich was turned to Merian and a certain time intently глядела on it. Merian did not know, where conduct the eye. She seemed that her(its) profile was outlined some blazing finger. Her(its) nose began be pulled. In despair she was turned by person to Vayolet and has saw too close turn pale припудренную skin, dry colourless hairs and lengthened humid eye, directed on it with hungry tension.
-- My expensive child, -- has said Vayolet, -- give me hand.
Upset and astir, quickly conducting glance, Merian protianula left hand to handle of the easy chair, firmly compressing glass right. Vayolet has taken the offered hand both their own, slowly and has firmly compressed and has held her(it).
-- In the known sense I can speak you only foolishnesses, -- has having continued Vayolet, -- and if I figure to tell about itself, that shall speak only riddle. So I you do not ask to listen to me, but there is need beside each, time-worn need.
Merian, which hand has become indifferent, is woke;waked beside dolls, has said:
-- Me much zhali. -- But then to fill the silence, which here is-here is could be filled significant and unbearable sense, has hastily asked: -- You троюродная sister Hanny, not so?
-- Yes. Know, passed much years thereafter, as I here is so touched to the other person.
-- Really, -- has mumbled Merian. She watched downwards, there, where purple silk dispersed and opened the knee, covered pearl-коричневатым a pat of the stocking. Some emotional emotion from distant past has squeexed her throat. She has done indistinct motion by hand, which could mean both weasel, and contempt.
-- You love Hannu, not truth?
-- Yes, yes, certainly, -- has said Merian. She was of interest, will get
she some precaution or some obliterating reprimand.
-- I too. Ocheni. -- Hand Merian has once again compressed and have freed. Merian has taken away her(it) and has placed for safety on the other knee.
e not caught his(its) choke. He stopped. All were same.
But that he did here, why in general he was comprised of this terrible masquerade?
He returned and got up before Hannoy. Her(its) reddish-золотистые hairs were зачесаны back and opened the high pates the blame for crime?
-- I not christian. Having Said that she guilty, I bore in mind that she such, as we. And if she does not feel the blames, so much the better for it. The Blame forces thet why her(its) friends -- you, mister Ledzhur, mister Kuper -- do not convince her(its) leave? She can not peacefully wait while he softens and forgive her(it). I seem, she is really found under hypnosis if hitherto believes that must remainnearly reaching tarnished ceiling, consisted of mirror and reconverging rows regiment and stands, on which crowded the small copper knick-knacks.
