"Speak before God: whose sin is it? What have I told you?"
It was only then that Iván came to his senses, and understood everything. And he snuffled, and said:
"Mine, father." And he knelt before his father, and wept, and said: "Forgive me, father! I am guilty toward you and toward God."
The old man moved his hands, took the taper in his left hand, and was moving his right hand toward his brow, to make the sign of the cross, but he did not get it so far, and he stopped.
"Glory be to thee, O Lord! Glory be to thee, O Lord!" he said, and his eyes were again turned toward his son.
"Iván! Oh, Iván!"
"What is it, father?"
"What is to be done now?"
Iván was weeping.
