I cannot say how long I was asleep, but when I opened my eyes, all the depths of the wood were filled with sunlight, and in all directions across the joyously29 rustling leaves there were glimpses and, as it were, flashes of intense blue sky; the clouds had vanished, driven away by the blustering31 wind; the weather had changed to fair, and there was that feeling of peculiar32 dry freshness in the air which fills the heart with a sense of boldness, and is almost always a sure sign of a still bright evening after a rainy day. I was just about to get up and try my luck again when suddenly my eyes fell on a motionless human figure. I looked attentively33; it was a young peasant girl. She was sitting twenty paces off, her head bent34 in thought, and her hands lying in her lap; one of them, half-open, held a big nosegay of wild flowers, which softly stirred on her checked petticoat with every breath. Her clean white smock, buttoned up at the throat and wrists, lay in short soft folds about her figure; two rows of big yellow beads35 fell from her neck to her bosom36. She was very pretty. Her thick fair hair of a lovely, almost ashen37 hue, was parted into two carefully combed semicircles, under the narrow crimson38 fillet, which was brought down almost on to her forehead, white as ivory; the rest of her face was faintly tanned that golden hue which is only taken by a delicate skin. I could not see her eyes--she did not raise them; but I saw her delicate high eye-brows, her long lashes30; they were wet, and on one of her cheeks there shone in the sun the traces of quickly drying tears, reaching right down to her rather pale lips. Her little head was very charming altogether; even her rather thick and snub nose did not spoil her. I was especially taken with the expression of her face; it was so simple and gentle, so sad and so full of childish wonder at its own sadness. She was obviously waiting for some one; something made a faint crackling in the wood; she raised her head at once, and looked round; in the transparent40 shade I caught a rapid glimpse of her eyes, large, clear, and timorous41, like a fawn's. For a few instants she listened, not moving her wide open eyes from the spot whence the faint sound had come; she sighed, turned her head slowly, bent still lower, and began sorting her flowers. Her eyelids42 turned red, her lips twitched43 faintly, and a fresh tear rolled from under her thick eyelashes, and stood brightly shining on her cheek. Rather a long while passed thus; the poor girl did not stir, except for a despairing movement of her hands now and then--and she kept listening, listening.... Again there was a crackling sound in the wood: she started. The sound did not cease, grew more distinct, and came closer; at last one could hear quick resolute44 footsteps. She drew herself up and seemed frightened; her intent gaze was all aquiver, all aglow45 with expectation. Through the thicket46 quickly appeared the figure of a man. She gazed at it, suddenly flushed, gave a radiant, blissful smile, tried to rise, and sank back again at once, turned white and confused, and only raised her quivering, almost supplicating47 eyes to the man approaching, when the latter stood still beside her.
I looked at him with curiosity from my ambush48. I confess he did not make an agreeable impression on me. He was, to judge by external signs, the pampered49 valet of some rich young gentleman. His attire50 betrayed pretensions51 to style and fashionable carelessness; he wore a shortish coat of a bronze colour, doubtless from his master's wardrobe, buttoned up to the top, a pink cravat52 with lilac ends, and a black velvet53 cap with a gold ribbon, pulled forward right on to his eyebrows55. The round collar of his white shirt mercilessly propped56 up his ears and cut his cheeks, and his starched57 cuffs58 hid his whole hand to the red crooked59 fingers, adorned60 by gold and silver rings, with turquoise61 forget-me-nots. His red, fresh, impudent-looking face belonged to the order of faces which, as far as I have observed, are almost always repulsive62 to men, and unfortunately are very often attractive to women. He was obviously trying to give a scornful and bored expression to his coarse features; he was incessantly63 screwing up his milky64 grey eyes--small enough at all times; he scowled65, dropped the corners of his mouth, affected66 to yawn, and with careless, though not perfectly67 natural nonchalance68, pushed back his modishly69 curled red locks, or pinched the yellow hairs sprouting70 on his thick upper lip--in fact, he gave himself insufferable airs. He began his antics directly he caught sight of the young peasant girl waiting for him; slowly, with a swaggering step, he went up to her, stood a moment shrugging his shoulders, stuffed both hands in his coat pockets, and barely vouchsafing71 the poor girl a cursory72 and indifferent glance, he dropped on to the ground.
'Well,' he began, still gazing away, swinging his leg and yawning, 'have you been here long?'
The girl could not at once answer.
'Yes, a long while, Viktor Alexandritch,' she said at last, in a voice hardly audible.
'Ah!' (He took off his cap, majestically73 passed his hand over his thick, stiffly curled hair, which grew almost down to his eyebrows, and looking round him with dignity, he carelessly covered his precious head again.) 'And I quite forgot all about it. Besides, it rained!' (He yawned again.) 'Lots to do; there's no looking after everything; and he's always scolding. We set off to-morrow....'
'To-morrow?' uttered the young girl. And she fastened her startled eyes upon him.
'Yes, to-morrow.... Come, come, come, please!' he added, in a tone of vexation, seeing she was shaking all over and softly bending her head; 'please, Akulina, don't cry. You know, I can't stand that.' (And he wrinkled up his snub nose.) 'Else I'll go away at once.... What silliness--snivelling!'
'There, I won't, I won't!' cried Akulina, hurriedly gulping74 down her tears with an effort. 'You are starting to-morrow?' she added, after a brief silence: 'when will God grant that we see each other again, Viktor Alexandritch?'
'We shall see each other, we shall see each other. If not next year--then later. The master wants to enter the service in Petersburg, I fancy,' he went on, pronouncing his words with careless condescension75 through his nose; 'and perhaps we shall go abroad too.'
'You will forget me, Viktor Alexandritch,' said Akulina mournfully.
'No, why so? I won't forget you; only you be sensible, don't be a fool; obey your father.... And I won't forget you--no-o.' (And he placidly76 stretched and yawned again.)
'Don't forget me, Viktor Alexandritch,' she went on in a supplicating voice. 'I think none could, love you as I do. I have given you everything.... You tell me to obey my father, Viktor Alexandritch.... But how can I obey my father?...'
'Why not?' (He uttered these words, as it were, from his stomach, lying on his back with his hands behind his head.)
'But how can I, Viktor Alexandritch?--you know yourself...'
She broke off. Viktor played with his steel watch-chain.
'You're not a fool, Akulina,' he said at last, 'so don't talk nonsense. I desire your good--do you understand me? To be sure, you're not a fool--not altogether a mere77 rustic78, so to say; and your mother, too, wasn't always a peasant. Still you've no education--so you ought to do what you're told.'
'But it's fearful, Viktor Alexandritch.'
'O-oh! that's nonsense, my dear; a queer thing to be afraid of! What have you got there?' he added, moving closer to her; 'flowers?'
'Yes,' Akulina responded dejectedly. 'That's some wild tansy I picked,' she went on, brightening up a little; 'it's good for calves79. And this is bud-marigold--against the king's evil. Look, what an exquisite80 flower! I've never seen such a lovely flower before. These are forget-me-nots, and that's mother-darling.... And these I picked for you,' she added, taking from under a yellow tansy a small bunch of blue corn-flowers, tied up with a thin blade of grass.' Do you like them?'
Viktor languidly held out his hand, took the flowers, carelessly sniffed81 at them, and began twirling them in his fingers, looking upwards82. Akulina watched him.... In her mournful eyes there was such tender devotion, adoring submission83 and love. She was afraid of him, and did not dare to cry, and was saying good-bye to him and admiring him for the last time; while he lay, lolling like a sultan, and with magnanimous patience and condescension put up with her adoration84. I must own, I glared indignantly at his red face, on which, under the affectation of scornful indifference85, one could discern vanity soothed86 and satisfied. Akulina was so sweet at that instant; her whole soul was confidingly87 and passionately88 laid bare before him, full of longing and caressing89 tenderness, while he... he dropped the corn-flowers on the grass, pulled out of the side pocket of his coat a round eye-glass set in a brass90 rim39, and began sticking it in his eye; but however much he tried to hold it with his frowning eyebrow54, his pursed-up cheek and nose, the eye-glass kept tumbling out and falling into his hand.
'What is it?' Akulina asked at last in wonder.
'An eye-glass,' he answered with dignity.
'What for?'
'Why, to see better.'
'Show me.'
Viktor scowled, but gave her the glass.
'Don't break it; look out.'
'No fear, I won't break it.' (She put it to her eye.) 'I see nothing,' she said innocently.
'But you must shut your eye,' he retorted in the tones of a displeased91 teacher. (She shut the eye before which she held the glass.)
'Not that one, not that one, you fool! the other!' cried Viktor, and he took away his eye-glass, without allowing her to correct her mistake.
Akulina flushed a little, gave a faint laugh, and turned away.
'It's clear it's not for the likes of us,' she said.
'I should think not, indeed!'
The poor girl was silent and gave a deep sigh.
'Ah, Viktor Alexandritch, what it will be like for me to be without you!' she said suddenly.
Victor rubbed the glass on the lappet of his coat and put it back in his pocket.
'Yes, yes,'he said at last, 'at first it will be hard for you, certainly.' (He patted her condescendingly on the shoulder; she softly took his hand from her shoulder and timidly kissed it.) 'There, there, you're a good girl, certainly,' he went on, with a complacent92 smile; 'but what's to be done? You can see for yourself! me and the master could never stay on here; it will soon be winter now, and winter in the country--you know yourself--is simply disgusting. It's quite another thing in Petersburg! There there are simply such wonders as a silly girl like you could never fancy in your dreams! Such horses and streets, and society, and civilisation--simply marvellous!...' (Akulina listened with devouring93 attention, her lips slightly parted, like a child.) 'But what's the use,' he added, turning over on the ground, 'of my telling you all this? Of course, you can't understand it!'
'Why so, Viktor Alexandritch! I understand; I understood everything.'
'My eye, what a girl it is!'
Akulina looked down.
'You used not to talk to me like that once, Viktor Alexandritch,' she said, not lifting her eyes.
'Once?... once!... My goodness!' he remarked, as though in indignation.
They both were silent.
'It's time I was going,' said Viktor, and he was already rising on to his elbow.
'What for?... Why, I've said good-bye to you.'
'Wait a little,' repeated Akulina.
Viktor lay down again and began whistling. Akulina never took her eyes off him. I could see that she was gradually being overcome by emotion; her lips twitched, her pale cheeks faintly glowed.
'Viktor Alexandritch,' she began at last in a broken voice, 'it's too bad of you... it is too bad of you, Viktor Alexandritch, indeed it is!'
'What's too bad?' he asked frowning, and he slightly raised his head and turned it towards her.
'It's too bad, Viktor Alexandritch. You might at least say one kind word to me at parting; you might have said one little word to me, a poor luckless forlorn.'...
'But what am I to say to you?'
'I don't know; you know that best, Viktor Alexandritch. Here you are going away, and one little word.... What have I done to deserve it?'
'You're such a queer creature! What can I do?'
'One word at least.'
'Don't be angry, Viktor Alexandritch,' she added hurriedly, with difficulty suppressing her tears.
I'm not angry, only you're silly.... What do you want? You know I can't marry you, can I? I can't, can I? What is it you want then, eh?' (He thrust his face forward as though expecting an answer, and spread his fingers out.)
'I want nothing... nothing,' she answered falteringly96, and she ventured to hold out her trembling hands to him; 'but only a word at parting.'
'There, that means she's gone off into crying,' said Viktor coolly, pushing down his cap on to his eyes.
'I want nothing,' she went on, sobbing98 and covering her face with her hands; 'but what is there before me in my family? what is there before me? what will happen to me? what will become of me, poor wretch99? They will marry me to a hateful... poor forsaken100... Poor me!'
'Sing away, sing away,' muttered Viktor in an undertone, fidgeting with impatience101 as he stood.
'And he might say one word, one word.... He might say, "Akulina... I..."'
Sudden heart-breaking sobs102 prevented her from finishing; she lay with her face in the grass and bitterly, bitterly she wept.... Her whole body shook convulsively, her neck fairly heaved.... Her long-suppressed grief broke out in a torrent at last. Viktor stood over her, stood a moment, shrugged103 his shoulders, turned away and strode off.
A few instants passed... she grew calmer, raised her head, jumped up, looked round and wrung104 her hands; she tried to run after him, but her legs gave way under her--she fell on her knees.... I could not refrain from rushing up to her; but, almost before she had time to look at me, making a superhuman effort she got up with a faint shriek105 and vanished behind the trees, leaving her flowers scattered106 on the ground.
I stood a minute, picked up the bunch of cornflowers, and went out of the wood into the open country. The sun had sunk low in the pale clear sky; its rays too seemed to have grown pale and chill; they did not shine; they were diffused107 in an unbroken, watery108 light. It was within half-an-hour of sunset, but there was scarcely any of the glow of evening. A gusty109 wind scurried110 to meet me across the yellow parched111 stubble; little curled-up leaves, scudding112 hurriedly before it, flew by across the road, along the edge of the copse; the side of the copse facing the fields like a wall, was all shaking and lighted up by tiny gleams, distinct, but not glowing; on the reddish plants, the blades of grass, the straws on all sides, were sparkling and stirring innumerable threads of autumn spider-webs. I stopped... I felt sad at heart: under the bright but chill smile of fading nature, the dismal113 dread114 of coming winter seemed to steal upon me. High overhead flew a cautious crow, heavily and sharply cleaving115 the air with his wings; he turned his head, looked sideways at me, flapped his wings and, cawing abruptly116, vanished behind the wood; a great flock of pigeons flew up playfully from a threshing floor, and suddenly eddying117 round in a column, scattered busily about the country. Sure sign of autumn! Some one came driving over the bare hillside, his empty cart rattling118 loudly....
I turned homewards; but it was long before the figure of poor Akulina faded out of my mind, and her cornflowers, long since withered119, are still in my keeping.
