Il a plu cette nuit pour la première fois depuis 140 jours. Pas une de ces grosses averses tropicales qui tombent drues pendant plusieurs heures. Mais une bonne pluie quand même. Au petit déjeûner sur la terrasse de la maison, l'air était agréablement frais et transparent. Le matin sentait la terre tiède et mouillée. Le paysage avait pris pour quelques heures des couleurs plus vives. Un pur bonheur! Mais cette "pluie des mangues" comme on l'appelle ici restera sans doute isolée. Il faudra encore attendre la fin du mois d'avril pour que la saison des pluies nous délivre vraiment des grosses chaleurs qui se sont installées depuis quelques semaines.
Many years passed. Prince Valkovsky’s estate flourished. The relations between the owner of Vassilyevskoe and his steward continued without the slightest friction on either side, and did not extend beyond a purely business correspondence. Though the prince did not interfere with Nikolay Sergeyitch’s management, he sometimes gave him advice which astonished the latter by its extraordinary astuteness and practical ability. It was evident that he did not care to waste money, and was clever at getting it indeed. Five years after his visit to Vassilyevskoe the prince sent Nikolay Sergeyitch an authorization to purchase another splendid estate in the same province with a population of four hundred serfs. Nikolay Sergeyitch was delighted. The prince’s successes, the news of his advancement, his promotion, were as dear to his heart as if they had been those of his own brother. But his delight reached a climax when the prince on one occasion showed the extraordinary trust he put in him. This is how it happened. . . . But here I find it necessary to mention some details of the life of this Prince Valkovsky, who is in a way a leading figure in my story.
