Mrs. Epanchin was so angry that she called Varia to her Varia was talking to the girls and turned her out of the house ‘once for all’ she said. I heard it from Varia herself Mrs. Epanchin was quite polite, but firm; and when Varia said good-bye to the girls, she told them nothing about it, and they didn’t know they were saying goodbye for the last time. I’m sorry for Varia, and for Gania too; he isn’t half a bad fellow, in spite of his faults, and I shall never forgive myself for not liking him before! I don’t know whether I ought to continue to go to the Epanchins’ now,” concluded Colia “I like to be quite independent of others, and of other people’s quarrels if I can; but I must think over it.”
