"Yet what a good work we're doing!" said Schafroff, with conviction, as
he gathered his pamphlets together.
"Sancta Simplicitas!" ejaculated Yourii inwardly.
Sina's presence, however, and his own success inclined him to be
tolerant. Indeed Schafroff's utter ingenuousness almost touched him.
"Where shall we go now?" asked Dubova, as they came out into the
street.
Outside it was not nearly so dark as in the lecture-room, and in the
sky a few stars shone.
"Schafroff and I are going to the Ratoffs," said Dubova. "Will you take
Sina home?"
"With pleasure," said Yourii.
Sina lodged with Dubova in a small house that stood in a large, barren-
looking garden. All the way thither she and Yourii talked of the
lecture and its impression upon them, so that Yourii felt more and more
convinced that he had done a good and great thing. As they reached the
house, Sina said:
"Won't you come in for a moment?" Yourii gladly accepted. She opened
the gate, and they crossed a little grass-grown courtyard beyond which
lay the garden.
"Go into the garden, will you?" said Sina, laughing.
