I didn't like this story. It is a rare case study.
Vasya and Arkady are friends and have been sharing the same apartment from 5 years. One day Vasya proposes a lady without any hope for he treats himself much lower to what he actually is and sees her much above to where she belongs. When he is about to be crumpled himself away like a discarded paper, she accepts him with delight and Vasya's weak heart just couldn't hold this happiness and comes back to his room in full fright.
Arkady makes fun of him, asking if he has killed anybody. When he gets to know what actually is happened, he is too happy for his friend and dances with him for a little celebration. Suddenly Arkady worries that Vasya would be leaving him soon. Vasya tells him that he too will be living with them. The contended Arkady asks him that he wants to see her amd know by himself whether he would like her or not. Vasya promptly accepts as if he was just waiting for any reason that would bring him to her.
Arkady likes her and she too likes him and consoles him that she is not going to take his friend away and they three would be living together like one. While they are returning from her home, Arkady is too happy for his friend is getting married to such a fine lady. He congratulates Vasya telling him how they have to arrange everything for the wedding and also for the future. He appoints himself as the best man for Vasya.
Arkady, in his excitement, even describes how they three would be living together in every detail. Then Vasya gets gloomy and is somewhat angry with his friend. At this point, I quite mis-guessed the reason for Vasya's depression. I thought Vasya is just uncomfortable for his friend's over excitement. It's that, he is uncomfortable to load his friend's affection to his already over loaded weak heart. Back in the room. he keeps writing with a pen without ink and goes on lamenting that he is being sent to army away from his friend and fiance.
Isn't it really foolish even to think that somebody gets mad out of happiness and gratitude for love? Leave that point, but what is it? Can there be such love and affection among men? I always think that men are incapable of trusting anybody. They always do leave place for doubt in their mind. And men can never completely show their affection. See, I too get irritated with display of emotions for little nothings but I really wanted to say 'Presto! Turn him to a girl.' with Chichikov many times.
