The
particulars
which
the
princess
had
learned
in
regard
to
Varenka
s
past
and
her
relations
with
Madame
Stahl
were
as
follows
:
Madame
Stahl
,
of
whom
some
people
said
that
she
had
worried
her
husband
out
of
his
life
,
while
others
said
it
was
he
who
had
made
her
wretched
by
his
immoral
behavior
,
had
always
been
a
woman
of
weak
health
and
enthusiastic
temperament
.
When
,
after
her
separation
from
her
husband
,
she
gave
birth
to
her
only
child
,
the
child
had
died
almost
immediately
,
and
the
family
of
Madame
Stahl
,
knowing
her
sensibility
,
and
fearing
the
news
would
kill
her
,
had
substituted
another
child
,
a
baby
born
the
same
night
and
in
the
same
house
in
Petersburg
,
the
daughter
of
the
chief
cook
of
the
Imperial
Household
.
This
was
Varenka
.
Madame
Stahl
learned
later
on
that
Varenka
was
not
her
own
child
,
but
she
went
on
bringing
her
up
,
especially
as
very
soon
afterwards
Varenka
had
not
a
relation
of
her
own
living
.
Madame
Stahl
had
now
been
living
more
than
ten
years
continuously
abroad
,
in
the
south
,
never
leaving
her
couch
.
And
some
people
said
that
Madame
Stahl
had
made
her
social
position
as
a
philanthropic
,
highly
religious
woman
;
other
people
said
she
really
was
at
heart
the
highly
ethical
being
,
living
for
nothing
but
the
good
of
her
fellow
creatures
,
which
she
represented
herself
to
be
.
No
one
knew
what
her
faith
was
Catholic
,
Protestant
,
or
Orthodox
.
But
one
fact
was
indubitable
she
was
in
amicable
relations
with
the
highest
dignitaries
of
all
the
churches
and
sects
.
Varenka
lived
with
her
all
the
while
abroad
,
and
everyone
who
knew
Madame
Stahl
knew
and
liked
Mademoiselle
Varenka
,
as
everyone
called
her
.

Having
learned
all
these
facts
,
the
princess
found
nothing
to
object
to
in
her
daughter
s
intimacy
with
Varenka
,
more
especially
as
Varenka
s
breeding
and
education
were
of
the
best
she
spoke
French
and
English
extremely
well
and
what
was
of
the
most
weight
,
brought
a
message
from
Madame
Stahl
expressing
her
regret
that
she
was
prevented
by
her
ill
health
from
making
the
acquaintance
of
the
princess
.
After
getting
to
know
Varenka
,
Kitty
became
more
and
more
fascinated
by
her
friend
,
and
every
day
she
discovered
new
virtues
in
her
.
The
princess
,
hearing
that
Varenka
had
a
good
voice
,
asked
her
to
come
and
sing
to
them
in
the
evening
.
Kitty
plays
,
and
we
have
a
piano
;
not
a
good
one
,
it
s
true
,
but
you
will
give
us
so
much
pleasure
,
said
the
princess
with
her
affected
smile
,
which
Kitty
disliked
particularly
just
then
,
because
she
noticed
that
Varenka
had
no
inclination
to
sing
.
Varenka
came
,
however
,
in
the
evening
and
brought
a
roll
of
music
with
her
.
The
princess
had
invited
Marya
Yevgenyevna
and
her
daughter
and
the
colonel
.

Varenka
seemed
quite
unaffected
by
there
being
persons
present
she
did
not
know
,
and
she
went
directly
to
the
piano
.
She
could
not
accompany
herself
,
but
she
could
sing
music
at
sight
very
well
.
Kitty
,
who
played
well
,
accompanied
her
.
You
have
an
extraordinary
talent
,
the
princess
said
to
her
after
Varenka
had
sung
the
first
song
extremely
well
.
Marya
Yevgenyevna
and
her
daughter
expressed
their
thanks
and
admiration
.
