Marfa Timofyevna listened to her niece with horror. "She is ill, she is raving," she thought: "we must send for a doctor; but for which one? Gedeonovsky was praising one the other day; he always tells lies but perhaps this time he spoke the truth."
"You haven't heard where his wife is now?" "She was lately in Paris; now, they say, she has gone away to Italy." "It is terrible, indeed Fedya's position; I wonder how he can bear it.

After Lavretsky's departure, Panshine grew animated. He began to give advice to Gedeonovsky, and to make mock love to Madame Belenitsine, and at last he sang his romance. But when gazing at Liza, or talking to her, he maintained the same air as before, one of deep meaning, with a touch of sadness in it. All that night also, Lavretsky did not sleep.
