His mother and sister were sitting on his sofa and had been waiting an hour and a half for him . Why had he never expected , never thought of them , though the news that they had started , were on their way and would arrive immediately , had been repeated to him only that day ? They had spent that hour and a half plying Nastasya with questions . She was standing before them and had told them everything by now . They were beside themselves with alarm when they heard of his “ running away ” to - day , ill and , as they understood from her story , delirious ! “ Good Heavens , what had become of him ? ” Both had been weeping , both had been in anguish for that hour and a half .
Его мать и сестра сидели на его диване и ждали его полтора часа. Почему он никогда не ожидал, никогда о них не думал, хотя известие о том, что они начались, уже в пути и сейчас же прибудут, ему передали только в этот день? Эти полтора часа они забрасывали Настасью вопросами. Она стояла перед ними и уже все им рассказала. Они были вне себя от тревоги, когда услышали, что он сегодня «убежал», больной и, как они поняли из ее рассказа, в бреду! — Боже мой, что с ним сталось? Оба плакали, оба мучились эти полтора часа.
