At Carnival1 time, in the sixth year of Sergius’s life at the hermitage, a merry company of rich people, men and women from a neighbouring town, made up a troyka-party, after a meal of carnival-pancakes and wine. The company consisted of two lawyers, a wealthy landowner, an officer, and four ladies. One lady was the officer’s wife, another the wife of the landowner, the third his sister—a young girl—and the fourth a divorcee, beautiful, rich, and eccentric, who amazed and shocked the town by her escapades.
The weather was excellent and the snow-covered road smooth as a floor. They drove some seven miles out of town, and then stopped and consulted as to whether they should turn back or drive farther.
‘But where does this road lead to?’ asked Makovkina, the beautiful divorcee.
‘To Tambov, eight miles from here,’ replied one of the lawyers, who was having a flirtation3 with her.
‘And then where?’
‘Where that Father Sergius lives?’
‘Yes.’
‘Yes.’
‘Mesdames et messieurs, let us drive on and see Kasatsky! We can stop at Tambov and have something to eat.’
‘But we shouldn’t get home to-night!’
‘Never mind, we will stay at Kasatsky’s.’
‘Well, there is a very good hostelry at the Monastery. I stayed there when I was defending Makhin.’
‘No, I shall spend the night at Kasatsky’s!’
‘Impossible! Even your omnipotence5 could not accomplish that!’
‘Impossible? Will you bet?’
‘All right! If you spend the night with him, the stake shall be whatever you like.’
