He
always
took
,
in
every
question
,
the
side
of
the
nobility
;
he
was
positively
antagonistic
to
the
spread
of
popular
education
,
and
he
succeeded
in
giving
a
purely
party
character
to
the
district
council
which
ought
by
rights
to
be
of
such
an
immense
importance
.
What
was
needed
was
to
put
in
his
place
a
fresh
,
capable
,
perfectly
modern
man
,
of
contemporary
ideas
,
and
to
frame
their
policy
so
as
from
the
rights
conferred
upon
the
nobles
,
not
as
the
nobility
,
but
as
an
element
of
the
district
council
,
to
extract
all
the
powers
of
self
-
government
that
could
possibly
be
derived
from
them
.
In
the
wealthy
Kashinsky
province
,
which
always
took
the
lead
of
other
provinces
in
everything
,
there
was
now
such
a
preponderance
of
forces
that
this
policy
,
once
carried
through
properly
there
,
might
serve
as
a
model
for
other
provinces
for
all
Russia
.
And
hence
the
whole
question
was
of
the
greatest
importance
.
It
was
proposed
to
elect
as
marshal
in
place
of
Snetkov
either
Sviazhsky
,
or
,
better
still
,
Nevyedovsky
,
a
former
university
professor
,
a
man
of
remarkable
intelligence
and
a
great
friend
of
Sergey
Ivanovitch
.
The
meeting
was
opened
by
the
governor
,
who
made
a
speech
to
the
nobles
,
urging
them
to
elect
the
public
functionaries
,
not
from
regard
for
persons
,
but
for
the
service
and
welfare
of
their
fatherland
,
and
hoping
that
the
honorable
nobility
of
the
Kashinsky
province
would
,
as
at
all
former
elections
,
hold
their
duty
as
sacred
,
and
vindicate
the
exalted
confidence
of
the
monarch
.
When
he
had
finished
with
his
speech
,
the
governor
walked
out
of
the
hall
,
and
the
noblemen
noisily
and
eagerly
—
some
even
enthusiastically
—
followed
him
and
thronged
round
him
while
he
put
on
his
fur
coat
and
conversed
amicably
with
the
marshal
of
the
province
.
Levin
,
anxious
to
see
into
everything
and
not
to
miss
anything
,
stood
there
too
in
the
crowd
,
and
heard
the
governor
say
:
“
Please
tell
Marya
Ivanovna
my
wife
is
very
sorry
she
couldn
’
t
come
to
the
Home
.
”
And
thereupon
the
nobles
in
high
good
-
humor
sorted
out
their
fur
coats
and
all
drove
off
to
the
cathedral
.
In
the
cathedral
Levin
,
lifting
his
hand
like
the
rest
and
repeating
the
words
of
the
archdeacon
,
swore
with
most
terrible
oaths
to
do
all
the
governor
had
hoped
they
would
do
.
Church
services
always
affected
Levin
,
and
as
he
uttered
the
words
“
I
kiss
the
cross
,
”
and
glanced
round
at
the
crowd
of
young
and
old
men
repeating
the
same
,
he
felt
touched
.
On
the
second
and
third
days
there
was
business
relating
to
the
finances
of
the
nobility
and
the
female
high
school
,
of
no
importance
whatever
,
as
Sergey
Ivanovitch
explained
,
and
Levin
,
busy
seeing
after
his
own
affairs
,
did
not
attend
the
meetings
.
On
the
fourth
day
the
auditing
of
the
marshal
’
s
accounts
took
place
at
the
high
table
of
the
marshal
of
the
province
.
And
then
there
occurred
the
first
skirmish
between
the
new
party
and
the
old
.
The
committee
who
had
been
deputed
to
verify
the
accounts
reported
to
the
meeting
that
all
was
in
order
.
The
marshal
of
the
province
got
up
,
thanked
the
nobility
for
their
confidence
,
and
shed
tears
.
The
nobles
gave
him
a
loud
welcome
,
and
shook
hands
with
him
But
at
that
instant
a
nobleman
of
Sergey
Ivanovitch
’
s
party
said
that
he
had
heard
that
the
committee
had
not
verified
the
accounts
,
considering
such
a
verification
an
insult
to
the
marshal
of
the
province
.
One
of
the
members
of
the
committee
incautiously
admitted
this
.
Then
a
small
gentleman
,
very
young
-
looking
but
very
malignant
,
began
to
say
that
it
would
probably
be
agreeable
to
the
marshal
of
the
province
to
give
an
account
of
his
expenditures
of
the
public
moneys
,
and
that
the
misplaced
delicacy
of
the
members
of
the
committee
was
depriving
him
of
this
moral
satisfaction
.
Then
the
members
of
the
committee
tried
to
withdraw
their
admission
,
and
Sergey
Ivanovitch
began
to
prove
that
they
must
logically
admit
either
that
they
had
verified
the
accounts
or
that
they
had
not
,
and
he
developed
this
dilemma
in
detail
.
Sergey
Ivanovitch
was
answered
by
the
spokesman
of
the
opposite
party
.
Then
Sviazhsky
spoke
,
and
then
the
malignant
gentleman
again
.
The
discussion
lasted
a
long
time
and
ended
in
nothing
.
Levin
was
surprised
that
they
should
dispute
upon
this
subject
so
long
,
especially
as
,
when
he
asked
Sergey
Ivanovitch
whether
he
supposed
that
money
had
been
misappropriated
,
Sergey
Ivanovitch
answered
:
“
Oh
,
no
!
He
’
s
an
honest
man
.
But
those
old
-
fashioned
methods
of
paternal
family
arrangements
in
the
management
of
provincial
affairs
must
be
broken
down
.
”
On
the
fifth
day
came
the
elections
of
the
district
marshals
.
It
was
rather
a
stormy
day
in
several
districts
.
In
the
Seleznevsky
district
Sviazhsky
was
elected
unanimously
without
a
ballot
,
and
he
gave
a
dinner
that
evening
.
The
sixth
day
was
fixed
for
the
election
of
the
marshal
of
the
province
.
The
rooms
,
large
and
small
,
were
full
of
noblemen
in
all
sorts
of
uniforms
.
Many
had
come
only
for
that
day
.
Men
who
had
not
seen
each
other
for
years
,
some
from
the
Crimea
,
some
from
Petersburg
,
some
from
abroad
,
met
in
the
rooms
of
the
Hall
of
Nobility
.
There
was
much
discussion
around
the
governor
’
s
table
under
the
portrait
of
the
Tsar
.
