"Enough, enough! Well, now it's quite enough," she said, hardly able to control herself. "Well, now all has been said, hasn't it! Hasn't it? You are happy--I am happy too. Not another word about it, wait; spare me ... talk of something else, for God's sake." "Yes, Nastenka, yes! Enough about that, now I am happy. I---- Yes, Nastenka, yes, let us talk of other things, let us make haste and talk. Yes! I am ready." And we did not know what to say: we laughed, we wept, we said thousands of things meaningless and incoherent; at one moment we walked along the pavement, then suddenly turned back and crossed the road; then we stopped and went back again to the embankment; we were like children. "I am living alone now, Nastenka," I began, "but to-morrow! Of course you know, Nastenka, I am poor, I have only got twelve hundred roubles, but that doesn't matter." "Of course not, and granny has her pension, so she will be no burden. We must take granny." "Of course we must take granny. But there's Matrona." "Yes, and we've got Fyokla too!" "Matrona is a good woman, but she has one fault: she has no imagination, Nastenka, absolutely none; but that doesn't matter." "That's all right--they can live together; only you must move to us to-morrow." "To you? How so? All right, I am ready." "Yes, hire a room from us. We have a top floor, it's empty. We had an old lady lodging there, but she has gone away; and I know granny would like to have a young man. I said to her, 'Why a young man?' And she said, 'Oh, because I am old; only don't you fancy, Nastenka, that I want him as a husband for you.' So I guessed it was with that idea." "Oh, Nastenka!" And we both laughed. "Come, that's enough, that's enough. But where do you live? I've forgotten." "Over that way, near X bridge, Barannikov's Buildings." "It's that big house?" "Yes, that big house." "Oh, I know, a nice house; only you know you had better give it up and come to us as soon as possible." "To-morrow, Nastenka, to-morrow; I owe a little for my rent there but that doesn't matter. I shall soon get my salary." "And do you know I will perhaps give lessons; I will learn something myself and then give lessons." "Capital! And I shall soon get a bonus." "So by to-morrow you will be my lodger." "And we will go to _The Barber of Seville_, for they are soon going to give it again." "Yes, we'll go," said Nastenka, "but better see something else and not _The Barber of Seville_." "Very well, something else. Of course that will be better, I did not think----"
