Stepan
Arkadyevitch
,
as
usual
,
did
not
waste
his
time
in
Petersburg
.
In
Petersburg
,
besides
business
,
his
sister
’
s
divorce
,
and
his
coveted
appointment
,
he
wanted
,
as
he
always
did
,
to
freshen
himself
up
,
as
he
said
,
after
the
mustiness
of
Moscow
.
In
spite
of
its
cafés
chantants
and
its
omnibuses
,
Moscow
was
yet
a
stagnant
bog
.
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
always
felt
it
.
After
living
for
some
time
in
Moscow
,
especially
in
close
relations
with
his
family
,
he
was
conscious
of
a
depression
of
spirits
.
After
being
a
long
time
in
Moscow
without
a
change
,
he
reached
a
point
when
he
positively
began
to
be
worrying
himself
over
his
wife
’
s
ill
-
humor
and
reproaches
,
over
his
children
’
s
health
and
education
,
and
the
petty
details
of
his
official
work
;
even
the
fact
of
being
in
debt
worried
him
.
But
he
had
only
to
go
and
stay
a
little
while
in
Petersburg
,
in
the
circle
there
in
which
he
moved
,
where
people
lived
—
really
lived
—
instead
of
vegetating
as
in
Moscow
,
and
all
such
ideas
vanished
and
melted
away
at
once
,
like
wax
before
the
fire
.
His
wife
?
.
.
.
Only
that
day
he
had
been
talking
to
Prince
Tchetchensky
.
Prince
Tchetchensky
had
a
wife
and
family
,
grown
-
up
pages
in
the
corps
,
.
.
.
and
he
had
another
illegitimate
family
of
children
also
.
Though
the
first
family
was
very
nice
too
,
Prince
Tchetchensky
felt
happier
in
his
second
family
;
and
he
used
to
take
his
eldest
son
with
him
to
his
second
family
,
and
told
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
that
he
thought
it
good
for
his
son
,
enlarging
his
ideas
.
What
would
have
been
said
to
that
in
Moscow
?
His
children
?
In
Petersburg
children
did
not
prevent
their
parents
from
enjoying
life
.
The
children
were
brought
up
in
schools
,
and
there
was
no
trace
of
the
wild
idea
that
prevailed
in
Moscow
,
in
Lvov
’
s
household
,
for
instance
,
that
all
the
luxuries
of
life
were
for
the
children
,
while
the
parents
have
nothing
but
work
and
anxiety
.
Here
people
understood
that
a
man
is
in
duty
bound
to
live
for
himself
,
as
every
man
of
culture
should
live
.
His
official
duties
?
Official
work
here
was
not
the
stiff
,
hopeless
drudgery
that
it
was
in
Moscow
.
Here
there
was
some
interest
in
official
life
.
A
chance
meeting
,
a
service
rendered
,
a
happy
phrase
,
a
knack
of
facetious
mimicry
,
and
a
man
’
s
career
might
be
made
in
a
trice
.
So
it
had
been
with
Bryantsev
,
whom
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
had
met
the
previous
day
,
and
who
was
one
of
the
highest
functionaries
in
government
now
.
There
was
some
interest
in
official
work
like
that
.
The
Petersburg
attitude
on
pecuniary
matters
had
an
especially
soothing
effect
on
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
.
Bartnyansky
,
who
must
spend
at
least
fifty
thousand
to
judge
by
the
style
he
lived
in
,
had
made
an
interesting
comment
the
day
before
on
that
subject
.
As
they
were
talking
before
dinner
,
Stepan
Arkadyevitch
said
to
Bartnyansky
:
“
You
’
re
friendly
,
I
fancy
,
with
Mordvinsky
;
you
might
do
me
a
favor
:
say
a
word
to
him
,
please
,
for
me
.
There
’
s
an
appointment
I
should
like
to
get
—
secretary
of
the
agency
.
.
.
.
”
“
Oh
,
I
shan
’
t
remember
all
that
,
if
you
tell
it
to
me
.
.
.
.
But
what
possesses
you
to
have
to
do
with
railways
and
Jews
?
.
.
.
Take
it
as
you
will
,
it
’
s
a
low
business
.
”
