Countess Catherine Ivanovna had invited me and you to be present at the meeting of the English preacher," said Selenin, smiling only with his lips. "Yes, I was present, but left with disgust," Nekhludoff said angrily, vexed at Selenin's leading away from the conversation. "Why should you be disgusted?
Hungering and thirsting for you in every cranny of my soul and even in my ribs? Why, to send you to father and to her, Katerina Ivanovna, so as to have done with her and with father. To send an angel. I might have sent any one, but I wanted to send an angel. And here you are on your way to see father and her.” “Did you really mean to send me?” cried Alyosha with a distressed expression. “Stay!
We were left then, Marie Ivanovna, Anna Petrovna, Andrey Vassilievitch, Trenchard and I, all rather close together, uncomfortable, desolate and shy, as boys feel on their first day at school. The battery on our left was very near to us and we could see the sharp flash of its flame behind the trees.
Katerina Ivanovna in her old dress with the green shawl, wearing a torn straw hat, crushed in a hideous way on one side, was really frantic. She was exhausted and breathless. Her wasted consumptive face looked more suffering than ever, and indeed out of doors in the sunshine a consumptive always looks worse than at home.

I can see myself quite clearly as though I were outside myself, and I know that I'm madder now than I was a week ago.

He’s been brought from Petersburg for three thousand roubles, they say.” “We gave these three thousand together—Ivan, Katerina Ivanovna and I—but she paid two thousand for the doctor from Moscow herself.
You mustn't make a disturbance." "It's you're making a disturbance. It's just the same as if I were grinding an organ. What business is it of yours?" "You have to get a licence for an organ, and you haven't got one, and in that way you collect a crowd. Where do you lodge?" "What, a license?" wailed Katerina Ivanovna. "I buried my husband to-day. What need of a license?"
He's a Jew, and all Jews, like all Czechs, are born musicians. Especially Jews. That's right, isn't it, Susanna Ivanovna? Hey? Ha, ha, ha, ha! In Mr. Ratsch's last words, and this time even in his guffaw, there could be heard something more than his usual bantering tone the desire to wound was evident. So, at least, I fancied, and so Susanna understood him.
They could hear not only the wind instruments, but even the violins and the flutes. "If he is in pain, why is he silent?" asked Olga Ivanovna. "All day long, not a sound, he never complains, and never cries. I know God will take the poor boy from us because we have not known how to prize him. Such a treasure!"
