In a crowded third-class carriage, two young men—one fair and refined with a nervous condition, the other dark and coarse—begin an unsettling conversation about cold, travel, and a past life abroad.

translator would like to express his appreci-ation to ALEX MILLER,who read through themanuscript and made many valuable suggestions.  \nΦ.IocToeBCKHHHOT》ToM IHa aH&AuůcKOM 83bKe  \nFirst printing

St.Petersburg-Warsaw rail-way was approaching St.Petersburg at full speed.Theweather was so damp and foggy that the break of day hadbrought only a pale and sickly light and little could bemade out at more than a dozen paces beyond the coachwindows.学  \nAmong the passengers there were also such that werereturning from foreign parts,but it was the third-classcompartments that were the most crowded,mainly withlocal passengers,plain folk travelling about their ownbusiness.As usual,all looked travel-weary and chilled;their eyes were heavy from lack of sleep,and their facesyellowish,like the fog outside.  \nAt dawn two passengers found themselves sittingopposite each other at the window of a third-class carriage.Both were young,with fairly distinctive faces,none tooelegantly dressed,and with little luggage to speak of;bothseemed willing to enter into conversation.Had they real-ised what it was that made them distinctive at the moment,they would of course have marvelled at the play of chancethat had seated them so strangely opposite each other ina third-class carriage on a St.Petersburg-Warsaw train.One of the two was under medium height,about twentyseven or so,with wavy and almost pitch-black hai hiseyes small and grey but piercing.His nose was btoad andflattish,the cheekbones prominent;his thin lips wereconstantly twisting in a kind of mocking,insolen  \nmalicious grin.However,the forehead was high and well-shaped,and seemed to make up for the coarse lower part  \nof his face.What made the young man's face conspicuouswas its deadly pallor,which gave him an emaciated look,this despite his quite sturdy build,and,at the same time,an impassioned expression,bordering on suffering,whichdid not blend with his insolent and coarse smile,and hiskeen and self-satisfied glance.He was warmly clad in acapacious black winter coat lined with lambskn,and hadnot suffered from the chill,while his neighbour had hadto feel on his freezing back the full charm of a cold anddamp Russian November night,for which he was evidentlyquite unprepared.This young man wore a loose and heavysleeveless cloak with a huge hood,of the kind often usedby winter travellers in far-off Switzerland or,for instance,in Northern Italy,and in no way suitable for such longdistances as the journey from Eydkuhnen to St.Petersburg.But what had been fitting and perfectly satisfactory in Italydid not prove quite suited to Russia.  \nThe owner of the hooded cloak was a young man ofabout twenty-six or twenty-seven,of a height somewhatabove the medium,very fair,with thick hair,hollowcheeks,and a thin and pointed beard so light in colouras to seem almost white.His eyes were large and blue,their gaze intent,with something calm but heavy in it,somehow full of that strange expression which enablessome people to surmise at first sight that the person inquestion is an epileptic.Yet the young man's face was apleasing and refined one,but quite colourless,and evenblue from the cold.From his hands hung a slender bundledone up in an old and faded foulard kerchief evidentlycontaining all his worldly possessions.His feet were en-closed in thick-soled shoes with gaiters—all most un-Russian looking.  \nHis black-haired neighbour scrutinised all this,partlyfrom having nothing better to do,and at length asked,withthe coarse sneer in which the pleasure some people derivefrom.the troubles of their fellow-creatures is sometimesexpressed with such callou","cbCainm1wklMvrFu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainm1wklMvrFu","pdf",32754904,381,"English","# Acknowledgement\n#
