He was at Baden for two reasons: first, because he was espoused to his cousin, Tatyana Petrovna Shestov, whom he had grown to dearly love, and who had promised to be his comrade and friend "for better or worse," as the English say.

Isn't she like her grandmother, the Princess Daria Petrovna?

By the way, she must be very old, the Princess Daria Petrovna?" "How do you mean, old?" cried Tomsky, thoughtlessly, "she died seven years ago.

I was prepared for anything since he refused to live with Olga Petrovna.

Olga Petrovna, Marcus Ivanovitch's wifehis own wifethat's who it is!

It was dark when the magistrate's carriage rolled up to the porch of the old country house in which Olga Petrovna had taken refuge with her brother.

It was Olga Petrovna herself, apparently not the least distressed by the recent tragedy.

"Yes, a spring," began Dukovski, going close to Olga Petrovna and wrinkling his long nose.

Marcus Ivanovitch murdered?" stammered Olga Petrovna, and her broad face suddenly and instantaneously flushed bright scarlet.

Olga Petrovna asked in a low voice, unable to endure Dukovski's glance.

Your accomplices have betrayed you!" Olga Petrovna grew pale.

He will never forgive me!" Olga Petrovna took down a big key from the wall, and led her guests through the kitchen and passage to the courtyard.

Olga Petrovna walked in advance of them.

He was rather pale, but stout, badly built, and awkwarda regular moujik, to use the expression employed by Glafira Petrovna.

"I want, above all, to make a man of himun homme," he said to Glafira Petrovna "and not only a man, but a Spartan."

Glafira Petrovna had the largest share in all the trouble he gave.

After his father's burial, having confided to the never-changing Glafira Petrovna the administration of his household, and the supervision of his agents, the young Lavretsky set out for Moscow, whither a vague but powerful longing attracted him.

In the course of a fortnight Lavretsky succeeded in setting Glafira Petrovna's little house in order, and in trimming the court-yard and the garden.

your grandfather, Peter Andreich, provided himself with a stone mansion, but he lived worse than his father, and got himself no satisfaction, but spent all his money, and now there is nothing to remember him bynot so much as a silver spoon has come down to us from him; and for all that is left, one must thank Glafira Petrovna's care.
