SIMPLE WEDDING DRESS : but I'm not quite a fool, I fancy; no, one mustn't abuse such luck; I popped on my hat and cut away. So now I've no need to eat humble pie with the governor, and can treat my friends.... Hi waiter! Another bottle! Gentlemen, let's clink glasses!' We did clink glasses with Viktor, and continued drinking and laughing with him, though his story was by no means to our liking, nor was his society a source of any great satisfaction to us either. He began being very affable, playing the buffoon, simple wedding dress in fact, and was more loathsome than ever. Viktor noticed at last the impression he was making on us, and began to get sulky; his remarks became more disconnected and his looks gloomier. He began yawning, announced that he was sleepy, and after swearing with his characteristic coarseness at the waiter for a

'I say, Alexander Daviditch,' said he, 'you tell me, if you please, what do you look down on me for?' 'How so?' My friend was momentarily at a loss for a reply. 'I'll tell you how.... I'm very well aware that you look down on me, and that person does too' (he pointed at me with his finger), 'so there! As though you were yourself remarkable for such high and exalted principles, and weren't just as much a sinner as the rest of us. Worse even. Still waters... you know the proverb?' Fustov turned rather simple wedding dress 'What do you mean by that?' he asked. 'Why, I mean that I'm not blind yet, and I see very clearly everything that's going on under my nose....

'You don't understand what you're babbling there yourself! You're drunk,' said Fustov, taking his overcoat from the wall. 'He's swindled some fool of his money, simple wedding dress now he's telling all sorts of lies!' Viktor continued reclining on the sofa, and merely swung his legs, which were hanging over its arm. 'Swindled! Why did you drink the wine, then? It was paid for with the money I won, you know. As for lies, I've no need for lying. It's not my fault that in her past Susanna Ivanovna...' 'Hold your tongue!' Fustov shouted at him, 'hold your tongue... or...' 'Or what?' 'You'll find out what. Come along, Piotr.' 'Aha!' pursued Viktor; 'our noble-hearted knight takes refuge in flight.

'Come along, Piotr,' Fustov repeated, completely losing his habitual coolness and self-possession. 'Let's leave this wretch of a boy!'

Fustov walked so quickly along the street that I had difficulty in keeping up with him. All at once he stopped short and turned sharply back. 'Where are you going?' I asked. 'Oh, I must find out what the idiot.... He's simple wedding dress no doubt, God knows what.... Only don't you follow me... we shall see each other to-morrow. Good-bye!'

Then I asked the servant whether he knew how long Alexander Daviditch would be away in the country. 'A fortnight, or a little more, probably,' replied the man. I took at any rate Fustov's exact address, and sauntered home, meditating deeply. This unexpected absence from Moscow, in the winter, completed my utter perplexity.
