He
knew
well
that
Nastasia
thoroughly
understood
him
and
where
to
wound
him
and
how
,
and
therefore
,
as
the
marriage
was
still
only
in
embryo
,
Totski
decided
to
conciliate
her
by
giving
it
up
.
His
decision
was
strengthened
by
the
fact
that
Nastasia
Philipovna
had
curiously
altered
of
late
.
It
would
be
difficult
to
conceive
how
different
she
was
physically
,
at
the
present
time
,
to
the
girl
of
a
few
years
ago
.
She
was
pretty
then
...
but
now
!
...
Totski
laughed
angrily
when
he
thought
how
short-sighted
he
had
been
.
In
days
gone
by
he
remembered
how
he
had
looked
at
her
beautiful
eyes
,
how
even
then
he
had
marvelled
at
their
dark
mysterious
depths
,
and
at
their
wondering
gaze
which
seemed
to
seek
an
answer
to
some
unknown
riddle
.
Her
complexion
also
had
altered
.
She
was
now
exceedingly
pale
,
but
,
curiously
,
this
change
only
made
her
more
beautiful
.
Like
most
men
of
the
world
,
Totski
had
rather
despised
such
a
cheaply-bought
conquest
,
but
of
late
years
he
had
begun
to
think
differently
about
it
.
It
had
struck
him
as
long
ago
as
last
spring
that
he
ought
to
be
finding
a
good
match
for
Nastasia
;
for
instance
,
some
respectable
and
reasonable
young
fellow
serving
in
a
government
office
in
another
part
of
the
country
.
How
maliciously
Nastasia
laughed
at
the
idea
of
such
a
thing
,
now
!
However
,
it
appeared
to
Totski
that
he
might
make
use
of
her
in
another
way
;
and
he
determined
to
establish
her
in
St.
Petersburg
,
surrounding
her
with
all
the
comforts
and
luxuries
that
his
wealth
could
command
.
In
this
way
he
might
gain
glory
in
certain
circles
.
Five
years
of
this
Petersburg
life
went
by
,
and
,
of
course
,
during
that
time
a
great
deal
happened
.
Totski
's
position
was
very
uncomfortable
;
having
"
funked
"
once
,
he
could
not
totally
regain
his
ease
.
He
was
afraid
,
he
did
not
know
why
,
but
he
was
simply
afraid
of
Nastasia
Philipovna
.
For
the
first
two
years
or
so
he
had
suspected
that
she
wished
to
marry
him
herself
,
and
that
only
her
vanity
prevented
her
telling
him
so
.
He
thought
that
she
wanted
him
to
approach
her
with
a
humble
proposal
from
his
own
side
.
But
to
his
great
,
and
not
entirely
pleasurable
amazement
,
he
discovered
that
this
was
by
no
means
the
case
,
and
that
were
he
to
offer
himself
he
would
be
refused
.
He
could
not
understand
such
a
state
of
things
,
and
was
obliged
to
conclude
that
it
was
pride
,
the
pride
of
an
injured
and
imaginative
woman
,
which
had
gone
to
such
lengths
that
it
preferred
to
sit
and
nurse
its
contempt
and
hatred
in
solitude
rather
than
mount
to
heights
of
hitherto
unattainable
splendour
.
To
make
matters
worse
,
she
was
quite
impervious
to
mercenary
considerations
,
and
could
not
be
bribed
in
any
way
.
Finally
,
Totski
took
cunning
means
to
try
to
break
his
chains
and
be
free
.
He
tried
to
tempt
her
in
various
ways
to
lose
her
heart
;
he
invited
princes
,
hussars
,
secretaries
of
embassies
,
poets
,
novelists
,
even
Socialists
,
to
see
her
;
but
not
one
of
them
all
made
the
faintest
impression
upon
Nastasia
.
It
was
as
though
she
had
a
pebble
in
place
of
a
heart
,
as
though
her
feelings
and
affections
were
dried
up
and
withered
for
ever
.
She
lived
almost
entirely
alone
;
she
read
,
she
studied
,
she
loved
music
.
Her
principal
acquaintances
were
poor
women
of
various
grades
,
a
couple
of
actresses
,
and
the
family
of
a
poor
schoolteacher
.
Among
these
people
she
was
much
beloved
.
She
received
four
or
five
friends
sometimes
,
of
an
evening
.
Totski
often
came
.
Lately
,
too
,
General
Epanchin
had
been
enabled
with
great
difficulty
to
introduce
himself
into
her
circle
.
Gania
made
her
acquaintance
also
,
and
others
were
Ferdishenko
,
an
ill-bred
,
and
would-be
witty
,
young
clerk
,
and
Ptitsin
,
a
money-lender
of
modest
and
polished
manners
,
who
had
risen
from
poverty
.
In
fact
,
Nastasia
Philipovna
's
beauty
became
a
thing
known
to
all
the
town
;
but
not
a
single
man
could
boast
of
anything
more
than
his
own
admiration
for
her
;
and
this
reputation
of
hers
,
and
her
wit
and
culture
and
grace
,
all
confirmed
Totski
in
the
plan
he
had
now
prepared
.
And
it
was
at
this
moment
that
General
Epanchin
began
to
play
so
large
and
important
a
part
in
the
story
.
