It
was
the
post
of
secretary
of
the
committee
of
the
amalgamated
agency
of
the
southern
railways
,
and
of
certain
banking
companies
.
This
position
,
like
all
such
appointments
,
called
for
such
immense
energy
and
such
varied
qualifications
,
that
it
was
difficult
for
them
to
be
found
united
in
any
one
man
.
And
since
a
man
combining
all
the
qualifications
was
not
to
be
found
,
it
was
at
least
better
that
the
post
be
filled
by
an
honest
than
by
a
dishonest
man
.
And
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
was
not
merely
an
honest
man
—
unemphatically
—
in
the
common
acceptation
of
the
words
,
he
was
an
honest
man
—
emphatically
—
in
that
special
sense
which
the
word
has
in
Moscow
,
when
they
talk
of
an
“
honest
”
politician
,
an
“
honest
”
writer
,
an
“
honest
”
newspaper
,
an
“
honest
”
institution
,
an
“
honest
”
tendency
,
meaning
not
simply
that
the
man
or
the
institution
is
not
dishonest
,
but
that
they
are
capable
on
occasion
of
taking
a
line
of
their
own
in
opposition
to
the
authorities
.
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
moved
in
those
circles
in
Moscow
in
which
that
expression
had
come
into
use
,
was
regarded
there
as
an
honest
man
,
and
so
had
more
right
to
this
appointment
than
others
.
The
appointment
yielded
an
income
of
from
seven
to
ten
thousand
a
year
,
and
Oblonsky
could
fill
it
without
giving
up
his
government
position
.
It
was
in
the
hands
of
two
ministers
,
one
lady
,
and
two
Jews
,
and
all
these
people
,
though
the
way
had
been
paved
already
with
them
,
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
had
to
see
in
Petersburg
.
Besides
this
business
,
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
had
promised
his
sister
Anna
to
obtain
from
Karenin
a
definite
answer
on
the
question
of
divorce
.
And
begging
fifty
roubles
from
Dolly
,
he
set
off
for
Petersburg
.
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
sat
in
Karenin
’
s
study
listening
to
his
report
on
the
causes
of
the
unsatisfactory
position
of
Russian
finance
,
and
only
waiting
for
the
moment
when
he
would
finish
to
speak
about
his
own
business
or
about
Anna
.
“
Yes
,
that
’
s
very
true
,
”
he
said
,
when
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
took
off
the
pince
-
nez
,
without
which
he
could
not
read
now
,
and
looked
inquiringly
at
his
former
brother
-
in
-
law
,
“
that
’
s
very
true
in
particular
cases
,
but
still
the
principle
of
our
day
is
freedom
.
”
“
Yes
,
but
I
lay
down
another
principle
,
embracing
the
principle
of
freedom
,
”
said
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
,
with
emphasis
on
the
word
“
embracing
,
”
and
he
put
on
his
pince
-
nez
again
,
so
as
to
read
the
passage
in
which
this
statement
was
made
.
And
turning
over
the
beautifully
written
,
wide
-
margined
manuscript
,
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
read
aloud
over
again
the
conclusive
passage
.
“
I
don
’
t
advocate
protection
for
the
sake
of
private
interests
,
but
for
the
public
weal
,
and
for
the
lower
and
upper
classes
equally
,
”
he
said
,
looking
over
his
pince
-
nez
at
Oblonsky
.
“
But
they
cannot
grasp
that
,
they
are
taken
up
now
with
personal
interests
,
and
carried
away
by
phrases
.
”
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
knew
that
when
Karenin
began
to
talk
of
what
they
were
doing
and
thinking
,
the
persons
who
would
not
accept
his
report
and
were
the
cause
of
everything
wrong
in
Russia
,
that
it
was
coming
near
the
end
.
And
so
now
he
eagerly
abandoned
the
principle
of
free
-
trade
,
and
fully
agreed
.
Alexey
Alexandrovitch
paused
,
thoughtfully
turning
over
the
pages
of
his
manuscript
.
“
Oh
,
by
the
way
,
”
said
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
,
“
I
wanted
to
ask
you
,
some
time
when
you
see
Pomorsky
,
to
drop
him
a
hint
that
I
should
be
very
glad
to
get
that
new
appointment
of
secretary
of
the
committee
of
the
amalgamated
agency
of
the
southern
railways
and
banking
companies
.
”
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
was
familiar
by
now
with
the
title
of
the
post
he
coveted
,
and
he
brought
it
out
rapidly
without
mistake
.
