The Possessed

CHAPTER VII
19/48

Here I used to carry her in my arms, used to dance the mazurka with her when she was ten years old; to-day she's come, naturally I fly to embrace her, and at the second word she tells me there's no God.

She might have waited a little, she was in too great a hurry! Clever people don't believe, I dare say; but that's from their cleverness.

But you, chicken, what do you know about God, I said to her.
