SPRING BEDDING : silk shirt, and a low felt hat with peacock's feathers round the crown. Beside him sat a girl of the artisan or merchant class, in a flowered silk jacket, with a big blue handkerchief on her head--and she was simply bubbling over with mirth. The driver was laughing too. I drew my horse on one side, but did not, however, take particular notice of the swiftly passing, merry couple, when, all at once, the young man shouted to his ponies.... Why, that was Tarhov's voice! I looked round.... Yes, it was he; unmistakably spring bedding dressed up as a peasant, and beside
SPRING BEDDING : him--wasn't it Musa? But at that instant their ponies quickened their pace, and they were out of my sight in a minute. I tried to put my horse into a gallop in pursuit of them, but it was an old riding school hack, that shambled from side spring bedding side as it moved; it went more slowly galloping than trotting. 'Enjoy yourselves, my dear friends!' I muttered through my teeth. I ought to observe that I had not seen Tarhov during the whole week, though I had been three times to his rooms.

A funeral barred my way. It consisted of a solitary car, that is, to be accurate, of a decrepit hearse, on which a poor-looking wooden coffin, half-covered with a threadbare
SPRING BEDDING : black cloth, was shaking up and down as it was jolted violently over the uneven pavement. An old man with a white head was walking alone after the hearse. I looked at him.... His face seemed familiar.... He too turned his eyes upon me.... Merciful heavens! it was Baburin! I took off my hat, went up to him, mentioned my name, and walked along beside him. 'Whom are you burying?' I asked. 'Nikander Vavilitch Punin,' he answered. I felt, I knew beforehand, that spring bedding would utter that name, and yet it set my heart aching.
