present, and the children had begged permission
to be there also.
Tania could never forget the scene that ensued.
Fekluscha, who was quite bewildered at the
honour which befell her so unexpectedly, and
who at the same time was afraid that Maria
Vasiljevna would make her suffer later on
for her present humiliation, went up to Ivan
Sergejevitsch, and asked him to take back his
order about the kiss.
‘I will forgive her all the same,’ she said,
almost crying.
But Ivan Sergejevitsch, who had worked up
his mind for the occasion, and who felt convinced
that he was acting according to the strictest
justice, fired up at her: ‘Go away, silly girl,
that’s no business of yours! It is not for your
sake, it is for the sake of the principle, that this
must be done. If I had committed this sin
against you, I, your master, I should have
thought it my duty to kiss your hand. You
don’t understand—never mind—go away and
keep quiet!’
Fekluscha trembled, and dared not say any
more; she went to her place like a criminal
awaiting his sentence.
