1. Dostoevsky. The Possessed (English. Бесы). Part II. Chapter IV. All in expectation

Входимость: 1. Размер: 55кб.

Часть текста: opinion was chiefly due to one person, who had hitherto not expressed her opinion, but who now very distinctly uttered a few words, which at once gave the event a significance exceedingly interesting to the vast majority. This was how it happened. On the day after the duel, all the town was assembled at the Marshal of Nobility's in honour of his wife's nameday. Yulia Mihailovna was present, or, rather, presided, accompanied by Lizaveta Nikolaevna, radiant with beauty and peculiar gaiety, which struck many of our ladies at once as particularly suspicious at this time. And I may mention, by the way, her engagement to Mavriky Nikolaevitch was by now an established fact. To a playful question from a retired general of much consequence, of whom we shall have more to say later, Lizaveta Nikolaevna frankly replied that evening that she was engaged. And only imagine, not one of our ladies would believe in her engagement. They all persisted in assuming a romance of some sort, some fatal family secret, something ...

2. Dostoevsky. Il giocatore (Italian, Игрок). Capitolo 16

Входимость: 1. Размер: 26кб.

Часть текста: Blanche. Ma questo per ciò che riguarda il suo denaro. Per ciò che riguarda invece i miei centomila franchi, mi dichiarò in seguito che essi le erano serviti per una prima sistemazione a Parigi, "così ora mi sono messa su un piede decoroso, una volta per sempre, e ormai per un bel pezzo nessuno mi butterà più giù; così almeno ho deciso" aggiunse. Del resto, quei centomila franchi si può dire che io non li vidi neanche; il denaro, lo teneva sempre lei e nel mio borsellino, nel quale lei ogni giorno curiosava, non si accumulavano mai più di cento franchi e, quasi sempre, molti di meno. "Ma via, a che ti serve il denaro?" mi diceva a volte con l'aria più innocente del mondo, e io non discutevo. In compenso, con quel denaro sistemò in modo molto confortevole il suo appartamento e quando poi mi trasferì nella nuova dimora, mi disse, mostrandomi le stanze: "Ecco che cosa si può fare con l'economia e il buon gusto, sia pure con i mezzi più miseri". Quella miseria costava, però, esattamente cinquantamila franchi! Con i rimanenti cinquantamila mise su carrozza e cavalli; inoltre organizzammo due balli, cioè due serate alle...

3. Dostoevsky. The Gambler (English. Игрок). Chapter XVI

Входимость: 1. Размер: 24кб.

Часть текста: of the ONE hundred thousand francs, for the other hundred thousand I gave to Mlle. Blanche in pure cash. That is to say, I handed her fifty thousand francs at Frankfurt, and, three days later (in Paris), advanced her another fifty thousand on note of hand. Nevertheless, a week had not elapsed ere she came to me for more money. "Et les cent mille francs qui nous restent," she added, "tu les mangeras avec moi, mon utchitel." Yes, she always called me her "utchitel." A person more economical, grasping, and mean than Mlle. Blanche one could not imagine. But this was only as regards HER OWN money. MY hundred thousand francs (as she explained to me later) she needed to set up her establishment in Paris, "so that once and for all I may be on a decent footing, and proof against any stones which may be thrown at me--at all events for a long time to come." Nevertheless, I saw nothing of those hundred thousand francs, for my own purse (which she inspected daily) never managed to amass in it more than a hundred francs at a time; and, generally the sum did not reach even that figure. "What do you want with money?" she would say to me with air of absolute simplicity; and I never...

4. Dostoevsky. El jugador (Spanish. Игрок). Capítulo 16

Входимость: 1. Размер: 25кб.

Часть текста: de tres semanas y en ese tiempo se volatilizaron por completo mis cien mil francos. Hablo sólo de cien mil; los otros cien mil se los di a mademoiselle Blanche en dinero contante y sonante: cincuenta mil en Francfort, y al cabo de tres días en París le entregué cincuenta mil más, en un pagaré, por el cual me sacó también dinero al cabo de ocho días, "et les cent mille francs que nous restent tu les mangeras avec moi, mon outchitel". Me llamaba siempre "outchitel", esto es, tutor. Es difícil imaginarse nada en este mundo más mezquino, más avaro más ruin que la clase de criaturas a que pertenecía mademoiselle Blanche. Pero esto en cuanto a su propio dinero. En lo tocante a mis cien mil francos, me dijo más tarde, sin rodeos que los necesitaba para su instalación inicial en París: "puesto que ahora me establezco como Dios manda y durante mucho tiempo nadie...
