Then, with a careless gesture, he walked rapidly along the avenue.

Ivanoff looked at Yourii in disdain, lit a cigarette, and slowly

followed Sanine. Even his broad back and smooth hair told one plainly

how little such a scene as this affected him.

"How stupid and brutal man can be!" he murmured to himself.

Sanine glanced round once, and then walked faster.

"Just like brutes," said Yourii, as he went away. He looked back, and

the garden which he had always thought beautiful, and dim, and

mysterious, seemed now, after what had happened, to have been shut off

from the rest of the world, a sombre, dreary place.

Schafroff breathed hard, and looked nervously over his spectacles in

all directions, as if he thought that at any moment, something equally

dreadful might again occur.
