The Teacher of Literature chapter 1

And as usual he began slowly and emphatically saying what everybody knew.
Nikitin’s first lesson was on Russian language in the second class. When at nine o’clock punctually he went into the classroom, he saw written on the blackboard two large letters —M. S. That, no doubt, meant Masha Shelestov.
“They’ve scented71 it out already, the rascals72 . . .” thought Nikitin. “How is it they know everything?”
The second lesson was in the fifth class. And there two letters, M. S., were written on the blackboard; and when he went out of the classroom at the end of the lesson, he heard the shout behind him as though from a theatre gallery:
“Hurrah for Masha Shelestov!”
His head was heavy from sleeping in his clothes, his limbs were weighted down with inertia73. The boys, who were expecting every day to break up before the examinations, did nothing, were restless, and so bored that they got into mischief74. Nikitin, too, was restless, did not notice their pranks75, and was continually going to the window. He could see the street brilliantly lighted up with the sun; above the houses the blue limpid76 sky, the birds, and far, far away, beyond the gardens and the houses, vast indefinite distance, the forests in the blue haze77, the smoke from a passing train . . . .
Here two officers in white tunics, playing with their whips, passed in the street in the shade of the acacias. Here a lot of Jews, with grey beards, and caps on, drove past in a waggonette. . . . The governess walked by with the director’s granddaughter. Som ran by in the company of two other dogs. . . . And then Varya, wearing a simple grey dress and red stockings, carrying the “Vyestnik Evropi” in her hand, passed by. She must have been to the town library . . . .
And it would be a long time before lessons were over at three o’clock! And after school he could not go home nor to the Shelestovs’, but must go to give a lesson at Wolf’s. This Wolf, a wealthy Jew who had turned Lutheran, did not send his children to the high school, but had them taught at home by the high-school masters, and paid five roubles a lesson.
