Would you like some preserve?
Shurotchka, bring him a pot of strawberry.

You don't want any?
Well, sit there; only you mustn't smoke; I can't bear your tobacco, and it makes Matross sneeze." Lavretsky made haste to assure her that he had not the least desire to smoke.
"Have you been down-stairs ?" the old lady continued.

"Whom did you see there?
Is Panshin still on view?
Did you see Lisa?
No?
She was meaning to come up here.

And here she is: speak of angels--" Lisa came into the room, and she flushed when she saw Lavretsky.
"I came in for a minute, Marfa Timofyevna," she was beginning.
"Why for a minute ?" interposed the old lady.

"Why are you always in such a hurry, you young people?
You see I have a visitor; talk to him a little, and entertain him." Lisa sat down on the edge of a chair; she raised her eyes to Lavretsky--and felt that it was impossible not to let him know how her interview with Panshin had ended.
