How stupid these old ceremonies are, that no one believes in, and which only prevent people being comfortable!" Stepan Arkadyevitch put in. "Well, then their position will be as regular as mine, as yours." "What is the difficulty?" said Levin. "Oh, it's a long and tedious story!

"No, I've done with it all. It's time I was dead." "Well, that's a good one!" said Shtcherbatsky, laughing; "why, I'm only just getting ready to begin."
