The
prince
was
very
nervous
as
he
reached
the
outer
door
;
but
he
did
his
best
to
encourage
himself
with
the
reflection
that
the
worst
thing
that
could
happen
to
him
would
be
that
he
would
not
be
received
,
or
,
perhaps
,
received
,
then
laughed
at
for
coming
.
But
there
was
another
question
,
which
terrified
him
considerably
,
and
that
was
:
what
was
he
going
to
do
when
he
did
get
in
?
And
to
this
question
he
could
fashion
no
satisfactory
reply
.
If
only
he
could
find
an
opportunity
of
coming
close
up
to
Nastasia
Philipovna
and
saying
to
her
:
"
Do
n't
ruin
yourself
by
marrying
this
man
.
He
does
not
love
you
,
he
only
loves
your
money
.
He
told
me
so
himself
,
and
so
did
Aglaya
Ivanovna
,
and
I
have
come
on
purpose
to
warn
you
"
--
but
even
that
did
not
seem
quite
a
legitimate
or
practicable
thing
to
do
.
Then
,
again
,
there
was
another
delicate
question
,
to
which
he
could
not
find
an
answer
;
dared
not
,
in
fact
,
think
of
it
;
but
at
the
very
idea
of
which
he
trembled
and
blushed
.
However
,
in
spite
of
all
his
fears
and
heart-quakings
he
went
in
,
and
asked
for
Nastasia
Philipovna
.

Nastasia
occupied
a
medium-sized
,
but
distinctly
tasteful
,
flat
,
beautifully
furnished
and
arranged
.
At
one
period
of
these
five
years
of
Petersburg
life
,
Totski
had
certainly
not
spared
his
expenditure
upon
her
.
He
had
calculated
upon
her
eventual
love
,
and
tried
to
tempt
her
with
a
lavish
outlay
upon
comforts
and
luxuries
,
knowing
too
well
how
easily
the
heart
accustoms
itself
to
comforts
,
and
how
difficult
it
is
to
tear
one
's
self
away
from
luxuries
which
have
become
habitual
and
,
little
by
little
,
indispensable
.
Nastasia
did
not
reject
all
this
,
she
even
loved
her
comforts
and
luxuries
,
but
,
strangely
enough
,
never
became
,
in
the
least
degree
,
dependent
upon
them
,
and
always
gave
the
impression
that
she
could
do
just
as
well
without
them
.
In
fact
,
she
went
so
far
as
to
inform
Totski
on
several
occasions
that
such
was
the
case
,
which
the
latter
gentleman
considered
a
very
unpleasant
communication
indeed
.
But
,
of
late
,
Totski
had
observed
many
strange
and
original
features
and
characteristics
in
Nastasia
,
which
he
had
neither
known
nor
reckoned
upon
in
former
times
,
and
some
of
these
fascinated
him
,
even
now
,
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
all
his
old
calculations
with
regard
to
her
were
long
ago
cast
to
the
winds
.

A
maid
opened
the
door
for
the
prince
(
Nastasia
's
servants
were
all
females
)
and
,
to
his
surprise
,
received
his
request
to
announce
him
to
her
mistress
without
any
astonishment
.
Neither
his
dirty
boots
,
nor
his
wide-brimmed
hat
,
nor
his
sleeveless
cloak
,
nor
his
evident
confusion
of
manner
,
produced
the
least
impression
upon
her
.
She
helped
him
off
with
his
cloak
,
and
begged
him
to
wait
a
moment
in
the
ante-room
while
she
announced
him
.
The
company
assembled
at
Nastasia
Philipovna
's
consisted
of
none
but
her
most
intimate
friends
,
and
formed
a
very
small
party
in
comparison
with
her
usual
gatherings
on
this
anniversary
.
In
the
first
place
there
were
present
Totski
,
and
General
Epanchin
.
They
were
both
highly
amiable
,
but
both
appeared
to
be
labouring
under
a
half-hidden
feeling
of
anxiety
as
to
the
result
of
Nastasia
's
deliberations
with
regard
to
Gania
,
which
result
was
to
be
made
public
this
evening
.
