Madame Kalitin sat down to a game of cards with Marfa Timofyevna, Madame Byelenitsin, and Gedeonovsky, who played very slowly, and constantly made mistakes, frowning and wiping his face with his handkerchief.
"And Marfa Timofyevna," observed Shurotchka. "And Nastasya Karpovna," added Lenotchka, "and Monsier Lemm." "What? is Lemm dead?" inquired Lavretsky. "Yes," replied young Kalitin, "he left here for Odessa; they say some one enticed him there; and there he died." "You don't happen to know,... did he leave any music?" "I don't know; not very likely." All were silent and looked about them.

Madame von Kalitin tells her that he is a fine young man, and she obeys Madame von Kalitin because she is still quite a child, though she is nineteen; she says her prayers in the morning and in the evening and that is very well; but she does not love him.
"But suppose she loves him?" "No, she does not love him; that is to say, she is very pure in heart, and does not know herself what it means love. Mme. de Kalitin tells her that he is a fine young man, and she obeys because she is quite a child. She can only love what is beautiful, and he is not that is, his soul is not beautiful...."
