hidden, but rebellious and passionate longing for
freedom, and the open, honest paternal tyranny,
which was convinced of its own legitimacy and
superiority, trying to stop and keep under control,
to tame and regulate this strange and
misunderstood power.
At last Aniuta and one of her friends took
a bold resolution. One of them—no matter who
—was to contract one of these ideal marriages,
which would relieve both; for if one of them
married, they thought the other would be allowed
to go abroad with her friend. In this way the
journey could scandalise nobody, it would look
like a pleasure trip. Sonia would most likely
be permitted to join the others, for she was her
sister’s inseparable shadow, and it was quite out
of the question for one sister to travel without
the other.
This plan once settled, the next point was to
find the right man to help in carrying it out.
Aniuta and Inez searched among their acquaintances,
and their choice fell upon a young professor
at the university, whom they knew but
slightly, but of whose honesty and enthusiasm
they felt convinced. So one day all three
girls—Sonia as usual bringing up the rear—
started on their visit to the professor’s house.
