Of
course
,
the
last
argument
was
the
chief
one
.
The
maternal
heart
trembled
with
indignation
to
think
of
such
an
absurdity
,
although
in
that
heart
there
rose
another
voice
,
which
said
:
"
And
why
is
not
the
prince
such
a
husband
as
you
would
have
desired
for
Aglaya
?
"
It
was
this
voice
which
annoyed
Lizabetha
Prokofievna
more
than
anything
else
.
For
some
reason
or
other
,
the
sisters
liked
the
idea
of
the
prince
.
They
did
not
even
consider
it
very
strange
;
in
a
word
,
they
might
be
expected
at
any
moment
to
range
themselves
strongly
on
his
side
.
But
both
of
them
decided
to
say
nothing
either
way
.
It
had
always
been
noticed
in
the
family
that
the
stronger
Mrs.
Epanchin
's
opposition
was
to
any
project
,
the
nearer
she
was
,
in
reality
,
to
giving
in
.
Alexandra
,
however
,
found
it
difficult
to
keep
absolute
silence
on
the
subject
.
Long
since
holding
,
as
she
did
,
the
post
of
"
confidential
adviser
to
mamma
,
"
she
was
now
perpetually
called
in
council
,
and
asked
her
opinion
,
and
especially
her
assistance
,
in
order
to
recollect
"
how
on
earth
all
this
happened
?
"
Why
did
no
one
see
it
?
Why
did
no
one
say
anything
about
it
?
What
did
all
that
wretched
"
poor
knight
"
joke
mean
?
Why
was
she
,
Lizabetha
Prokofievna
,
driven
to
think
,
and
foresee
,
and
worry
for
everybody
,
while
they
all
sucked
their
thumbs
,
and
counted
the
crows
in
the
garden
,
and
did
nothing
?
At
first
,
Alexandra
had
been
very
careful
,
and
had
merely
replied
that
perhaps
her
father
's
remark
was
not
so
far
out
:
that
,
in
the
eyes
of
the
world
,
probably
the
choice
of
the
prince
as
a
husband
for
one
of
the
Epanchin
girls
would
be
considered
a
very
wise
one
.
Warming
up
,
however
,
she
added
that
the
prince
was
by
no
means
a
fool
,
and
never
had
been
;
and
that
as
to
"
place
in
the
world
,
"
no
one
knew
what
the
position
of
a
respectable
person
in
Russia
would
imply
in
a
few
years
--
whether
it
would
depend
on
successes
in
the
government
service
,
on
the
old
system
,
or
what
.
To
all
this
her
mother
replied
that
Alexandra
was
a
freethinker
,
and
that
all
this
was
due
to
that
"
cursed
woman
's
rights
question
.
"
Half
an
hour
after
this
conversation
,
she
went
off
to
town
,
and
thence
to
the
Kammenny
Ostrof
,
[
"
Stone
Island
,
"
a
suburb
and
park
of
St.
Petersburg
]
to
see
Princess
Bielokonski
,
who
had
just
arrived
from
Moscow
on
a
short
visit
.
The
princess
was
Aglaya
's
godmother
.
"
Old
Bielokonski
"
listened
to
all
the
fevered
and
despairing
lamentations
of
Lizabetha
Prokofievna
without
the
least
emotion
;
the
tears
of
this
sorrowful
mother
did
not
evoke
answering
sighs
--
in
fact
,
she
laughed
at
her
.
She
was
a
dreadful
old
despot
,
this
princess
;
she
could
not
allow
equality
in
anything
,
not
even
in
friendship
of
the
oldest
standing
,
and
she
insisted
on
treating
Mrs.
Epanchin
as
her
protégée
,
as
she
had
been
thirty-five
years
ago
.
She
could
never
put
up
with
the
independence
and
energy
of
Lizabetha
's
character
.
She
observed
that
,
as
usual
,
the
whole
family
had
gone
much
too
far
ahead
,
and
had
converted
a
fly
into
an
elephant
;
that
,
so
far
as
she
had
heard
their
story
,
she
was
persuaded
that
nothing
of
any
seriousness
had
occurred
;
that
it
would
surely
be
better
to
wait
until
something
did
happen
;
that
the
prince
,
in
her
opinion
,
was
a
very
decent
young
fellow
,
though
perhaps
a
little
eccentric
,
through
illness
,
and
not
quite
as
weighty
in
the
world
as
one
could
wish
.
The
worst
feature
was
,
she
said
,
Nastasia
Philipovna
.
Lizabetha
Prokofievna
well
understood
that
the
old
lady
was
angry
at
the
failure
of
Evgenie
Pavlovitch
--
her
own
recommendation
.
She
returned
home
to
Pavlofsk
in
a
worse
humour
than
when
she
left
,
and
of
course
everybody
in
the
house
suffered
.
She
pitched
into
everyone
,
because
,
she
declared
,
they
had
'
gone
mad
.
'
Why
were
things
always
mismanaged
in
her
house
?
Why
had
everybody
been
in
such
a
frantic
hurry
in
this
matter
?
So
far
as
she
could
see
,
nothing
whatever
had
happened
.
Surely
they
had
better
wait
and
see
what
was
to
happen
,
instead
of
making
mountains
out
of
molehills
.
And
so
the
conclusion
of
the
matter
was
that
it
would
be
far
better
to
take
it
quietly
,
and
wait
coolly
to
see
what
would
turn
up
.
But
,
alas
!
peace
did
not
reign
for
more
than
ten
minutes
.
The
first
blow
dealt
to
its
power
was
in
certain
news
communicated
to
Lizabetha
Prokofievna
as
to
events
which
had
happened
during
her
trip
to
see
the
princess
.
(
This
trip
had
taken
place
the
day
after
that
on
which
the
prince
had
turned
up
at
the
Epanchins
at
nearly
one
o'clock
at
night
,
thinking
it
was
nine
.
)
The
sisters
replied
candidly
and
fully
enough
to
their
mother
's
impatient
questions
on
her
return
.
