THE ENGLISH REVIEW Thank you, Astafy Ivanovitch,' said he. " ' Is there anything else you would like, Emelyanoushka ? ' No, Astafy Ivanovitch, there's nothing I want, but I— sort of " " ' What ? ' " ' I only ' " ' What is it, Emelyanoushka ? ' Those riding-breeches—it was—sort of—I who took them —Astafy Ivanovitch.' Well, God forgive you, Emelyanoushka,' said I, ' you poor sorrowful creature. Depart in peace.' " And I was choking myself, sir, and the tears were in my eyes. I turned aside for a moment. " ' Astafy Ivanovitch ' " I saw Emelyanoushka wanted to tell me something ; he was trying to sit up, trying to speak and mumbling something. He flushed red all over suddenly, looked at me . . . then I saw him turn white again, whiter and whiter, and he seemed to sink away all in a minute. His head fell back, he drew one breath and gave up his soul to God." Translated by CONSTANCE GARNETT. 230
Some Reminiscences By Joseph Conrad PART II II IN the retrospect of a life which had, besides its preliminarystage of childhood and early youth, two distinct developments, and even two distinct elements, such as earth and water, for its successive scenes, a certain amount of na'iveness is unavoidable. I am conscious of it in these pages. This remark is put forward in no apologetic spirit, nor from any particular stiff-neckedness in the writer, but from the profound conviction of its uselessness. As years go by and the number of pages grows steadily, the feeling grows upon one too that one can write only for friends. Then why should one put them to the necessity of protesting (as a friend would do) that no apology is necessary, or put, perchance, into their heads the doubt of one's discretion ? So much as to the care due to those friends whom a word here, a line there, a fortunate page of just feeling in the right place, some happy simplicity, or even some lucky subtlety, has drawn from the great multitude of fellow beings even as a fish is drawn from the depths of the sea. Fishing is notoriously (I am talking now of the deep sea) a matter of luck. As to one's enemies, those will take care of themselves. There is a gentleman, for instance, who, metaphorically speaking, jumps upon me with both feet. This image has no grace, but it is exceedingly apt to the occasion—to the several occasions. I don't know precisely how long he had been indulging in that intermittent exercise, whose seasons are ruled by the custom of the publishing trade. Somebody pointed him out (in printed shape, of course) to my attention some time ago, and straightway I experienced a sort of reluctant affection for that robust man. He leaves not a shred of my substance untrodden : for the writer's substance is his writing; the rest of him is but a vain shadow, cherished or hated on uncritical 231
