The
lawyer
bowed
respectfully
,
let
his
client
out
of
the
door
,
and
,
left
alone
,
gave
himself
up
to
his
sense
of
amusement
He
felt
so
mirthful
that
,
contrary
to
his
rules
,
he
made
a
reduction
in
his
terms
to
the
haggling
lady
,
and
gave
up
catching
moths
,
finally
deciding
that
next
winter
he
must
have

Alexey
Alexandrovitch
had
gained
a
brilliant
victory
at
the
sitting
of
the
Commission
of
the
17th
of
August
,
but
in
the
sequel
this
victory
cut
the
ground
from
under
his
feet
.
The
new
commission
for
the
inquiry
into
the
condition
of
the
native
tribes
in
all
its
branches
had
been
formed
and
despatched
to
its
destination
with
an
unusual
speed
and
energy
inspired
by
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
.
Within
three
months
a
report
was
presented
.
The
condition
of
the
native
tribes
was
investigated
in
its
political
,
administrative
,
economic
,
ethnographic
,
material
,
and
religious
aspects
.
To
all
these
questions
there
were
answers
admirably
stated
,
and
answers
admitting
no
shade
of
doubt
,
since
they
were
not
a
product
of
human
thought
,
always
liable
to
error
,
but
were
all
the
product
of
official
activity
.
The
answers
were
all
based
on
official
data
furnished
by
governors
and
heads
of
churches
,
and
founded
on
the
reports
of
district
magistrates
and
ecclesiastical
superintendents
,
founded
in
their
turn
on
the
reports
of
parochial
overseers
and
parish
priests
;
and
so
all
of
these
answers
were
unhesitating
and
certain
.
All
such
questions
as
,
for
instance
,
of
the
cause
of
failure
of
crops
,
of
the
adherence
of
certain
tribes
to
their
ancient
beliefs
,
etc
.
—
questions
which
,
but
for
the
convenient
intervention
of
the
official
machine
,
are
not
,
and
cannot
be
solved
for
ages
—
received
full
,
unhesitating
solution
.
And
this
solution
was
in
favor
of
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
’
s
contention
.
But
Stremov
,
who
had
felt
stung
to
the
quick
at
the
last
sitting
,
had
,
on
the
reception
of
the
commission
’
s
report
,
resorted
to
tactics
which
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
had
not
anticipated
.
Stremov
,
carrying
with
him
several
members
,
went
over
to
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
’
s
side
,
and
not
contenting
himself
with
warmly
defending
the
measure
proposed
by
Karenin
,
proposed
other
more
extreme
measures
in
the
same
direction
.
These
measures
,
still
further
exaggerated
in
opposition
to
what
was
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
’
s
fundamental
idea
,
were
passed
by
the
commission
,
and
then
the
aim
of
Stremov
’
s
tactics
became
apparent
.
Carried
to
an
extreme
,
the
measures
seemed
at
once
to
be
so
absurd
that
the
highest
authorities
,
and
public
opinion
,
and
intellectual
ladies
,
and
the
newspapers
,
all
at
the
same
time
fell
foul
of
them
,
expressing
their
indignation
both
with
the
measures
and
their
nominal
father
,
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
.
Stremov
drew
back
,
affecting
to
have
blindly
followed
Karenin
,
and
to
be
astounded
and
distressed
at
what
had
been
done
.
This
meant
the
defeat
of
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
.
But
in
spite
of
failing
health
,
in
spite
of
his
domestic
griefs
,
he
did
not
give
in
.
There
was
a
split
in
the
commission
.
Some
members
,
with
Stremov
at
their
head
,
justified
their
mistake
on
the
ground
that
they
had
put
faith
in
the
commission
of
revision
,
instituted
by
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
,
and
maintained
that
the
report
of
the
commission
was
rubbish
,
and
simply
so
much
waste
paper
.
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
,
with
a
following
of
those
who
saw
the
danger
of
so
revolutionary
an
attitude
to
official
documents
,
persisted
in
upholding
the
statements
obtained
by
the
revising
commission
.
In
consequence
of
this
,
in
the
higher
spheres
,
and
even
in
society
,
all
was
chaos
,
and
although
everyone
was
interested
,
no
one
could
tell
whether
the
native
tribes
really
were
becoming
impoverished
and
ruined
,
or
whether
they
were
in
a
flourishing
condition
.
The
position
of
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
,
owing
to
this
,
and
partly
owing
to
the
contempt
lavished
on
him
for
his
wife
’
s
infidelity
,
became
very
precarious
.
And
in
this
position
he
took
an
important
resolution
.
To
the
astonishment
of
the
commission
,
he
announced
that
he
should
ask
permission
to
go
himself
to
investigate
the
question
on
the
spot
.
And
having
obtained
permission
,
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
prepared
to
set
off
to
these
remote
provinces
.
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
’
s
departure
made
a
great
sensation
,
the
more
so
as
just
before
he
started
he
officially
returned
the
posting
-
fares
allowed
him
for
twelve
horses
,
to
drive
to
his
destination
.
“
I
think
it
very
noble
,
”
Betsy
said
about
this
to
the
Princess
Myakaya
.
“
Why
take
money
for
posting
-
horses
when
everyone
knows
that
there
are
railways
everywhere
now
?
”
But
Princess
Myakaya
did
not
agree
,
and
the
Princess
Tverskaya
’
s
opinion
annoyed
her
indeed
.
