Stepan
Arkadyevitch
was
not
merely
liked
by
all
who
knew
him
for
his
good
humor
,
but
for
his
bright
disposition
,
and
his
unquestionable
honesty
.
In
him
,
in
his
handsome
,
radiant
figure
,
his
sparkling
eyes
,
black
hair
and
eyebrows
,
and
the
white
and
red
of
his
face
,
there
was
something
which
produced
a
physical
effect
of
kindliness
and
good
humor
on
the
people
who
met
him
.
Aha
!
Stiva
!
Oblonsky
!
Here
he
is
!
was
almost
always
said
with
a
smile
of
delight
on
meeting
him
.
Even
though
it
happened
at
times
that
after
a
conversation
with
him
it
seemed
that
nothing
particularly
delightful
had
happened
,
the
next
day
,
and
the
next
,
everyone
was
just
as
delighted
at
meeting
him
again
.
142
After
filling
for
three
years
the
post
of
president
of
one
of
the
government
boards
at
Moscow
,
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
had
won
the
respect
,
as
well
as
the
liking
,
of
his
fellow
-
officials
,
subordinates
,
and
superiors
,
and
all
who
had
had
business
with
him
.
143
The
principal
qualities
in
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
which
had
gained
him
this
universal
respect
in
the
service
consisted
,
in
the
first
place
,
of
his
extreme
indulgence
for
others
,
founded
on
a
consciousness
of
his
own
shortcomings
;
secondly
,
of
his
perfect
liberalism
not
the
liberalism
he
read
of
in
the
papers
,
but
the
liberalism
that
was
in
his
blood
,
in
virtue
of
which
he
treated
all
men
perfectly
equally
and
exactly
the
same
,
whatever
their
fortune
or
calling
might
be
;
and
thirdly
the
most
important
point
his
complete
indifference
to
the
business
in
which
he
was
engaged
,
in
consequence
of
which
he
was
never
carried
away
,
and
never
made
mistakes
.

On
reaching
the
offices
of
the
board
,
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
,
escorted
by
a
deferential
porter
with
a
portfolio
,
went
into
his
little
private
room
,
put
on
his
uniform
,
and
went
into
the
boardroom
.
The
clerks
and
copyists
all
rose
,
greeting
him
with
good
-
humored
deference
.
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
moved
quickly
,
as
ever
,
to
his
place
,
shook
hands
with
his
colleagues
,
and
sat
down
.
He
made
a
joke
or
two
,
and
talked
just
as
much
as
was
consistent
with
due
decorum
,
and
began
work
.
No
one
knew
better
than
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
how
to
hit
on
the
exact
line
between
freedom
,
simplicity
,
and
official
stiffness
necessary
for
the
agreeable
conduct
of
business
.
A
secretary
,
with
the
good
-
humored
deference
common
to
everyone
in
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
s
office
,
came
up
with
papers
,
and
began
to
speak
in
the
familiar
and
easy
tone
which
had
been
introduced
by
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
.
145
We
have
succeeded
in
getting
the
information
from
the
government
department
of
Penza
.
Here
,
would
you
care
?
.
.
.
146
147
You
ve
got
them
at
last
?
said
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
,
laying
his
finger
on
the
paper
.
Now
,
gentlemen
.
.

And
the
sitting
of
the
board
began
.
149
If
they
knew
,
he
thought
,
bending
his
head
with
a
significant
air
as
he
listened
to
the
report
,
what
a
guilty
little
boy
their
president
was
half
an
hour
ago
.
And
his
eyes
were
laughing
during
the
reading
of
the
report
.
Till
two
o
clock
the
sitting
would
go
on
without
a
break
,
and
at
two
o
clock
there
would
be
an
interval
and
luncheon
.
150
It
was
not
yet
two
,
when
the
large
glass
doors
of
the
boardroom
suddenly
opened
and
someone
came
in
.
