"I do not know."
She became thoughtful, stood up and said:
"Listen. I see that you are in despair. I advise you, don't go out alone. You followed me in here at my first word. You might have fallen in somewhere where you could not get out so easily. Better remain here over night. There is a bed here. Spend the night here, in heaven's name. If you do not wish to do it for nothing, give something to Petrovna—as much as you wish; and if I am in your way, then say so frankly and I will go."
I liked her words and also her eyes. I could not suppress a feeling of joy and I said to' myself, smiling:
"Oh, that archbishop!"
"What archbishop?" Tatiana asked, surprised.
I was confused and did not know what to say.
"That is just an expression of mine," I answered. "That is, not really an expression; only very often there is an archbishop who appears in my dreams."
"Well, good night," she said.
"Not yet," I answered quickly. "Don't go away, I beg of you. Remain here a little longer, if it is no trouble to you."
