Аркадий Александрович, в свою очередь, действовал с теми же тайнооскорбительными целями, что и Людмила, но прибегал для этого к противоположным приемам – ни разу не сказал «мы», не говорил ни о ценах, ни об автомобилях, но дал понять, что все обстоит очень роскошно, путем косвенного и случайного упоминания о второстепенных вещах – такого упоминания, вывод из которого даже не напрашивался сам собой, хотя и становился при первом размышлении очевидным.
Arkady Alexandrovich did not know how to explain this behaviour: either Lyudmila was using every pretext available to underscore the existence of this “worthy man”, or else she was truly indifferent to him and for that reason had lost her sense of ridicule and that intelligence in conversation which usually never failed her. Arkady Alexandrovich, in turn, responded with those same passive-aggressive tactics Lyudmila was employing, but, in so doing, resorted to counter-manoeuvres: never once did he say “we”; he made no mention of money or automobiles, but gave her to understand that everything was very luxurious by means of oblique, casual allusions to minor things—such things whose significance did not even suggest itself, but became immediately apparent.
