Bodlevski destroyed his own passport and that of the college assessor's widow, Maria Solontseva, which Natasha had needed as a precaution while still on Russian soil. When they got to England, it would be much handier to take new names.
Was it now the hereditary sin of mother Eve, or was it any other cause which induced Petrea at this moment to approach the table on which the Assessor's money lay, together with papers ready to be put into a travelling writing-case.
"But, Petrea! yes, you good ones! it is too late now to cry, 'but, Petrea! now you know the Assessor's secret; you now may do what your consciences command, mine is hardened you may start before my act, and be horrified; I don't ask about it.

"There does not exist a purer human soul than his," said he, "and he has thereby operated very beneficially on me.
"Health to you, eaglets! honorable men of Vilna! What are you up to? What are you busy at?" cried the newcomer, swiftly approaching the table and taking the chair that Pacomius Borisovitch had just been knocked out of.
