In
point
of
fact
,
Varia
had
rather
exaggerated
the
certainty
of
her
news
as
to
the
prince
's
betrothal
to
Aglaya
.
Very
likely
,
with
the
perspicacity
of
her
sex
,
she
gave
out
as
an
accomplished
fact
what
she
felt
was
pretty
sure
to
become
a
fact
in
a
few
days
.
Perhaps
she
could
not
resist
the
satisfaction
of
pouring
one
last
drop
of
bitterness
into
her
brother
Gania
's
cup
,
in
spite
of
her
love
for
him
.
At
all
events
,
she
had
been
unable
to
obtain
any
definite
news
from
the
Epanchin
girls
--
the
most
she
could
get
out
of
them
being
hints
and
surmises
,
and
so
on
.
Perhaps
Aglaya
's
sisters
had
merely
been
pumping
Varia
for
news
while
pretending
to
impart
information
;
or
perhaps
,
again
,
they
had
been
unable
to
resist
the
feminine
gratification
of
teasing
a
friend
--
for
,
after
all
this
time
,
they
could
scarcely
have
helped
divining
the
aim
of
her
frequent
visits
.
On
the
other
hand
,
the
prince
,
although
he
had
told
Lebedeff
,
--
as
we
know
,
that
nothing
had
happened
,
and
that
he
had
nothing
to
impart
,
--
the
prince
may
have
been
in
error
.
Something
strange
seemed
to
have
happened
,
without
anything
definite
having
actually
happened
.
Varia
had
guessed
that
with
her
true
feminine
instinct
.
How
or
why
it
came
about
that
everyone
at
the
Epanchins
'
became
imbued
with
one
conviction
--
that
something
very
important
had
happened
to
Aglaya
,
and
that
her
fate
was
in
process
of
settlement
--
it
would
be
very
difficult
to
explain
.

But
no
sooner
had
this
idea
taken
root
,
than
all
at
once
declared
that
they
had
seen
and
observed
it
long
ago
;
that
they
had
remarked
it
at
the
time
of
the
"
poor
knight
"
joke
,
and
even
before
,
though
they
had
been
unwilling
to
believe
in
such
nonsense
.
So
said
the
sisters
.
Of
course
,
Lizabetha
Prokofievna
had
foreseen
it
long
before
the
rest
;
her
"
heart
had
been
sore
"
for
a
long
while
,
she
declared
,
and
it
was
now
so
sore
that
she
appeared
to
be
quite
overwhelmed
,
and
the
very
thought
of
the
prince
became
distasteful
to
her
.
There
was
a
question
to
be
decided
--
most
important
,
but
most
difficult
;
so
much
so
,
that
Mrs.
Epanchin
did
not
even
see
how
to
put
it
into
words
.
Would
the
prince
do
or
not
?
Was
all
this
good
or
bad
?
If
good
(
which
might
be
the
case
,
of
course
)
,
why
good
?
If
bad
(
which
was
hardly
doubtful
)
,
wherein
,
especially
,
bad
?
Even
the
general
,
the
paterfamilias
,
though
astonished
at
first
,
suddenly
declared
that
,
"
upon
his
honour
,
he
really
believed
he
had
fancied
something
of
the
kind
,
after
all
.
At
first
,
it
seemed
a
new
idea
,
and
then
,
somehow
,
it
looked
as
familiar
as
possible
.
"
His
wife
frowned
him
down
there
.
This
was
in
the
morning
;
but
in
the
evening
,
alone
with
his
wife
,
he
had
given
tongue
again
.
"
Well
,
really
,
you
know
"
--
(
silence
)
--
"
of
course
,
you
know
all
this
is
very
strange
,
if
true
,
which
I
can
not
deny
;
but
"
--
(
silence
)

But
,
on
the
other
hand
,
if
one
looks
things
in
the
face
,
you
know
--
upon
my
honour
,
the
prince
is
a
rare
good
fellow
--
and
--
and
--
and
--
well
,
his
name
,
you
know
--
your
family
name
--
all
this
looks
well
,
and
perpetuates
the
name
and
title
and
all
that
--
which
at
this
moment
is
not
standing
so
high
as
it
might
--
from
one
point
of
view
--
do
n't
you
know
?
The
world
,
the
world
is
the
world
,
of
course
--
and
people
will
talk
--
and
--
and
--
the
prince
has
property
,
you
know
--
if
it
is
not
very
large
--
and
then
he
--
he
--
"
(
Continued
silence
,
and
collapse
of
the
general
.
)
Hearing
these
words
from
her
husband
,
Lizabetha
Prokofievna
was
driven
beside
herself
.
According
to
her
opinion
,
the
whole
thing
had
been
one
huge
,
fantastical
,
absurd
,
unpardonable
mistake
.
"
First
of
all
,
this
prince
is
an
idiot
,
and
,
secondly
,
he
is
a
fool
--
knows
nothing
of
the
world
,
and
has
no
place
in
it
.
Whom
can
he
be
shown
to
?
Where
can
you
take
him
to
?
What
will
old
Bielokonski
say
?
We
never
thought
of
such
a
husband
as
that
for
our
Aglaya
!
