Vronsky had wished to pay at the time – he had the money with him – but Venevsky and Yashvin insisted that they would pay, and would not permit Vronsky, who had not even been playing, to do so.
Вронский тогда же хотел отдать деньги (они были у него), но Веневский и Яшвин настаивали на том, что заплатят они,а не Вронский, который и не играл.
