Chapter XXII
“At the station before the last, when the conductor came to take the tickets, I took my baggage and went out on the car platform, and the consciousness that the climax was near at hand only added to my agitation. I was cold, my jaw trembled so that my teeth chattered. Mechanically I left the station with the crowd, I took a _tchik_, and I started. I looked at the few people passing in the streets and at the _dvorniks_. I read the signs, without thinking of anything.
