two o'clock
`` I do n't know , dear . When I ca n't sleep I shut my eyes very tightly , like this , and picture to myself Anna Karenin moving about and talking , or something historical from the ancient world ... '' Nadya felt that her mother did not understand her and was incapable of understanding . She felt this for the first time in her life , and it positively frightened her and made her want to hide herself ; and she went away to her own room . At two o'clock they sat down to dinner . It was Wednesday , a fast day , and so vegetable soup and bream with boiled grain were set before Granny . To tease Granny Sasha ate his meat soup as well as the vegetable soup . He was making jokes all through dinner-time , but his jests were laboured and invariably with a moral bearing , and the effect was not at all amusing when before making some witty remark he raised his very long , thin , deathly-looking fingers ; and when one remembered that he was very ill and would probably not be much longer in this world , one felt sorry for him and ready to weep .
