LENKA, the daughter of the retired collegiate assessor,
Plemyanniakov, was sitting in her back porch, lost in thought. It
was hot, the flies were persistent and teasing, and it was pleasant
to reflect that it would soon be evening. Dark rainclouds were
gathering from the east, and bringing from time to time a breath of
moisture in the air.
Kukin, who was the manager of an open-air theatre called the
Tivoli, and who lived in the lodge, was standing in the middle of
the garden looking at the sky.
"Again " he observed despairingly. "It's going to rain again Rain
every day, as though to spite me. I might as well hang myself It's
ruin Fearful losses every day."
He flung up his hands, and went on, addressing Olenka:
"There that's the life we lead, Olga Semyonovna. It's enough to
make one cry. One works and does one's utmost, one wears oneself
out, getting no sleep at night, and racks one's brain what to do
for the best.
