The Captain’s Daughter
M y reflections upon the road were not of the pleasant kind. The loss at play was according to my circumstances, not inconsiderable. I was to acknowledge to myself, that my behaviour in the hotel at Simbirsk was very foolish. I also felt wrong and unjust in regard to Savelitch. All these reflections tormented me. The old man sat and silent, sighing only from time to time. I wanted absolutely to make it up with him, but did not how to begin it. At last, I said to him: “Well Savelitch, let bygones be bygones, and let us make peace; I was wrong, I see it myself. I played stupid tricks yesterday, and insulted you today without reason. I promise you, however, to act henceforth more reasonably, and to take your advice. Do not be angry any more, we will be friends.”
“Ah, my dear Peter Andreitch,” he answered with a deep drawn sigh, “I am angry against myself; it is I who have committed a thorough blunder. How could I leave you alone in the hotel? Alas! If it is a man’s destiny to sin, he will do it. How came it into my head to visit my godmother, the wife of the sexton? I am just situated as the proverb says:
Went his god-mother to see,
To the gibbet finally came he.
I am a lost man! How shall I again show myself before my master and mistress?”
In order to console poor Savelitch, I made him the promise not to dispose in future of a single kopek without his acquiescence. By and by, he got a little consoled, although still shaking his head from time to time, and muttering now and then «hundred roubles — a trifle!”
I approached my destination. Around me, as far as I could see, was nothing but a dull wilderness, crossed by hills and gulfs. Everywhere was deep snow. Our kibitka drove along the small road, or rather along the track made by the sledges of the peasants. At last the coachman began to look sideways and finally taking off his hat and turning to me, said,
“Master, shall we not return?”
“What for?”
“The weather begins to be threatening. The wind rises visibly. Do you see how it drives the snow away?”
“What then?”
“But do you not see there?” pointing with his whip to the east.
“I see nothing beside the white steppe and the clear heavens.”
“Yonder, that small cloud.»
I now began to perceive on the horizon, a little white cloud, which I had mistaken at first for a distant hill.
