‘Who is there?’ I would hear from a faraway room, in the drawling voice that seemed to me so lovely.
“ ‘It is Pavel Konstantinovitch,’ answered the maid or the nurse.
“Anna Alexyevna would come out to me with an anxious face, and would ask every time:
“ ‘Why is it so long since you have been? Has anything happened?’
“Her eyes, the elegant refined hand she gave me, her indoor dress, the way she did her hair, her voice, her step, always produced the same impression on me something new and extraordinary in my life, and very important. We talked together for hours, were silent, thinking each our own thoughts, or she played for hours to me on the piano. If there were no one at home I stayed and waited, talked to the nurse, played with the child, or lay on the sofa in the study and read; and when Anna Alexyevna came back I met her in the hall, took all her parcels from her, and for some reason I carried those parcels every time with as much love, with as much solemnity, as a boy.
“有这么一个谚语:如果一个农妇没有任何烦恼会买一头小猪。卢格诺维奇夫妇生活顺心,因此他们跟我交朋友。如果我不进城肯定是病了或者发生了什么事,他们夫妇俩就非常担心。他们闷闷不乐于我这个受过语言文学教育的人应该做学问或从事文学工作,却生活在农村,像一只愤怒的松鼠转着圈子狂奔一样辛苦劳作却看不到收获。他们认为我不快乐,我只是说着笑着或用吃东西来掩饰我的痛苦,甚至在我觉得快乐时的高兴时刻我也感觉得到他们直盯盯的搜索的眼神。我真的心情沮丧时他们非常令人感动。当我为一些债主焦虑或没有足够的钱准时偿还利息时,他们俩,丈夫和妻子就会走到窗子旁耳语,然后卢格诺维奇走向我一脸严肃地跟我说:‘帕韦尔·康斯坦蒂诺维奇,如果你目前真的需要钱,我妻子和我请求你别不好意思跟我们借。’
