"She—is she here?" asked Ilya.
"Who?"
"Why—your Sophie Nik——"
"She isn't mine," answered Pavel, interrupting coldly.
Both went into the hall without further speech. "Sit near me!" asked Lunev.
Pavel stammered. "You see—I—I'm with some people."
"Oh, very well."
"I say—d'you know," added Pavel quickly. "Listen to what her advocate says."
"I'll listen," said Ilya quietly, and added in a lower voice: "So—good-bye—brother."
"Good-bye—we'll meet presently."
