There were eight of us in the room, and we were discussing contemporary matters and persons, "e;I do not understand these gentlemen!"e; remarked A.-"e;They are fellows of a reckless sort... . Really, desperate... . There has never been anything of the kind before."e; "e;Yes, there has,"e; put in P., a grey-haired old man, who had been born about the twenties of the present century;-"e;there were reckless men in days gone by also. Some one said of the poet Yazykoff, that he had enthusiasm which was not directed to anything, an objectless enthusiasm; and it was much the same with those people-their recklessness was without an object. But see here, if you will permit me, I will narrate to you the story of my grandnephew, Misha Polteff. It may serve as a sample of the recklessness of those days."e; He made his appearance in God's daylight in the year 1828, I remember, on his father's ancestral estate, in one of the most remote nooks of a remote government of the steppes. I still preserve a distinct recollection of Misha's father, Andrei Nikolaevitch Polteff. He was a genuine, old-fashioned landed proprietor, a pious inhabitant of the steppes, sufficiently well educated,-according to the standards of that epoch,-rather crack-brained, if the truth must be told, and subject, in addition, to epileptic fits... . That also is an old-fashioned malady... . However, Andrei Nikolaevitch's attacks were quiet, and they generally terminated in a sleep and in a fit of melancholy.-He was kind of heart, courteous in manner, not devoid of some pomposity: I have always pictured to myself the Tzar Mikhail Feodorovitch as just that sort of a man.
