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."
