Everything
relating
to
her
and
her
son
,
towards
whom
his
sentiments
were
as
much
changed
as
towards
her
,
ceased
to
interest
him
.
The
only
thing
that
interested
him
now
was
the
question
of
in
what
way
he
could
best
,
with
most
propriety
and
comfort
for
himself
,
and
thus
with
most
justice
,
extricate
himself
from
the
mud
with
which
she
had
spattered
him
in
her
fall
,
and
then
proceed
along
his
path
of
active
,
honorable
,
and
useful
existence
.
I
cannot
be
made
unhappy
by
the
fact
that
a
contemptible
woman
has
committed
a
crime
.
I
have
only
to
find
the
best
way
out
of
the
difficult
position
in
which
she
has
placed
me
.
And
I
shall
find
it
,
he
said
to
himself
,
frowning
more
and
more
.
I
m
not
the
first
nor
the
last
.
And
to
say
nothing
of
historical
instances
dating
from
the
Fair
Helen
of
Menelaus
,
recently
revived
in
the
memory
of
all
,
a
whole
list
of
contemporary
examples
of
husbands
with
unfaithful
wives
in
the
highest
society
rose
before
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
s
imagination
.
Daryalov
,
Poltavsky
,
Prince
Karibanov
,
Count
Paskudin
,
Dram
.
.
.
.
Yes
,
even
Dram
,
such
an
honest
,
capable
fellow
.
.
.
Semyonov
,
Tchagin
,
Sigonin
,
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
remembered
.
Admitting
that
a
certain
quite
irrational
ridicule
falls
to
the
lot
of
these
men
,
yet
I
never
saw
anything
but
a
misfortune
in
it
,
and
always
felt
sympathy
for
it
,
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
said
to
himself
,
though
indeed
this
was
not
the
fact
,
and
he
had
never
felt
sympathy
for
misfortunes
of
that
kind
,
but
the
more
frequently
he
had
heard
of
instances
of
unfaithful
wives
betraying
their
husbands
,
the
more
highly
he
had
thought
of
himself
.
It
is
a
misfortune
which
may
befall
anyone
.
And
this
misfortune
has
befallen
me
.
The
only
thing
to
be
done
is
to
make
the
best
of
the
position
.

And
he
began
passing
in
review
the
methods
of
proceeding
of
men
who
had
been
in
the
same
position
that
he
was
in
.
Daryalov
fought
a
duel
.
.
.
.
The
duel
had
particularly
fascinated
the
thoughts
of
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
in
his
youth
,
just
because
he
was
physically
a
coward
,
and
was
himself
well
aware
of
the
fact
.
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
could
not
without
horror
contemplate
the
idea
of
a
pistol
aimed
at
himself
,
and
had
never
made
use
of
any
weapon
in
his
life
.
This
horror
had
in
his
youth
set
him
pondering
on
dueling
,
and
picturing
himself
in
a
position
in
which
he
would
have
to
expose
his
life
to
danger
.
Having
attained
success
and
an
established
position
in
the
world
,
he
had
long
ago
forgotten
this
feeling
;
but
the
habitual
bent
of
feeling
reasserted
itself
,
and
dread
of
his
own
cowardice
proved
even
now
so
strong
that
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
spent
a
long
while
thinking
over
the
question
of
dueling
in
all
its
aspects
,
and
hugging
the
idea
of
a
duel
,
though
he
was
fully
aware
beforehand
that
he
would
never
under
any
circumstances
fight
one
.

There
s
no
doubt
our
society
is
still
so
barbarous
(
it
s
not
the
same
in
England
)
that
very
many
and
among
these
were
those
whose
opinion
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
particularly
valued
look
favorably
on
the
duel
;
but
what
result
is
attained
by
it
?
Suppose
I
call
him
out
,
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
went
on
to
himself
,
and
vividly
picturing
the
night
he
would
spend
after
the
challenge
,
and
the
pistol
aimed
at
him
,
he
shuddered
,
and
knew
that
he
never
would
do
it
suppose
I
call
him
out
.
Suppose
I
am
taught
,
he
went
on
musing
,
to
shoot
;
I
press
the
trigger
,
he
said
to
himself
,
closing
his
eyes
,
and
it
turns
out
I
have
killed
him
,
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
said
to
himself
,
and
he
shook
his
head
as
though
to
dispel
such
silly
ideas
.
What
sense
is
there
in
murdering
a
man
in
order
to
define
one
s
relation
to
a
guilty
wife
and
son
?
I
should
still
just
as
much
have
to
decide
what
I
ought
to
do
with
her
.
But
what
is
more
probable
and
what
would
doubtless
occur
I
should
be
killed
or
wounded
.
I
,
the
innocent
person
,
should
be
the
victim
killed
or
wounded
.
It
s
even
more
senseless
.
But
apart
from
that
,
a
challenge
to
fight
would
be
an
act
hardly
honest
on
my
side
.
Don
t
I
know
perfectly
well
that
my
friends
would
never
allow
me
to
fight
a
duel
would
never
allow
the
life
of
a
statesman
,
needed
by
Russia
,
to
be
exposed
to
danger
?
Knowing
perfectly
well
beforehand
that
the
matter
would
never
come
to
real
danger
,
it
would
amount
to
my
simply
trying
to
gain
a
certain
sham
reputation
by
such
a
challenge
.
That
would
be
dishonest
,
that
would
be
false
,
that
would
be
deceiving
myself
and
others
.
A
duel
is
quite
irrational
,
and
no
one
expects
it
of
me
.
My
aim
is
simply
to
safeguard
my
reputation
,
which
is
essential
for
the
uninterrupted
pursuit
of
my
public
duties
.
Official
duties
,
which
had
always
been
of
great
consequence
in
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
s
eyes
,
seemed
of
special
importance
to
his
mind
at
this
moment
.
Considering
and
rejecting
the
duel
,
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
turned
to
divorce
another
solution
selected
by
several
of
the
husbands
he
remembered
.
Passing
in
mental
review
all
the
instances
he
knew
of
divorces
(
there
were
plenty
of
them
in
the
very
highest
society
with
which
he
was
very
familiar
)
,
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
could
not
find
a
single
example
in
which
the
object
of
divorce
was
that
which
he
had
in
view
.
In
all
these
instances
the
husband
had
practically
ceded
or
sold
his
unfaithful
wife
,
and
the
very
party
which
,
being
in
fault
,
had
not
the
right
to
contract
a
fresh
marriage
,
had
formed
counterfeit
,
pseudo
-
matrimonial
ties
with
a
self
-
styled
husband
.
In
his
own
case
,
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
saw
that
a
legal
divorce
,
that
is
to
say
,
one
in
which
only
the
guilty
wife
would
be
repudiated
,
was
impossible
of
attainment
.
He
saw
that
the
complex
conditions
of
the
life
they
led
made
the
coarse
proofs
of
his
wife
s
guilt
,
required
by
the
law
,
out
of
the
question
;
he
saw
that
a
certain
refinement
in
that
life
would
not
admit
of
such
proofs
being
brought
forward
,
even
if
he
had
them
,
and
that
to
bring
forward
such
proofs
would
damage
him
in
the
public
estimation
more
than
it
would
her
.
