To judge from Darya Mihailovna's accounts, one might fancy that all the distinguished men of the last five-and-twenty years had dreamt of nothing but how they could make her acquaintance, and gain her good opinion. She spoke of them simply, without particular enthusiasm or admiration, as though they were her daily associates, calling some of them queer fellows.
He straightened his tall figure, shook back his locks, and walked quickly into the garden, with a happy gesture of his hands. Meanwhile the bushes of the lilac arbour moved apart, and Pandalevsky appeared. He looked around warily, shook his head, pursed up his mouth, and said, significantly, 'So that's how it is. That must be brought to Darya Mihailovna's knowledge. And he vanished.
The mother of the young man was a very wealthy landowner in a neighbouring province, and the young man was a distant relation of Yulia Mihailovna's and had been staying about a fortnight in our town. "No, I am going farther, to R . I've eight hours to live through in the train. Off to Petersburg?" laughed the young man.
I remember that a fairly large circle came into existence, as it were, spontaneously, the centre of which perhaps was really to be found in Yulia Mihailovna's drawing-room.
Lezhnyov watched him attentively; a strange, almost joyful amazement was expressed on Volintsev's face; he let his hands fall by his side. 'What is it? asked Lezhnyov.

Mariana laughed softly, surprised that such a thing should have occurred to him. She in her turn became pensive. "Did Markelov show you Valentina Mihailovna's letter?" she asked at last. "Yes, he did."

He first pressed it, then raised it to his lips and went away to the drawing-room and from there to the terrace. On the terrace he met Natalya. Darya Mihailovna's daughter, Natalya Alexyevna, at a first glance might fail to please.
The slight rattle of a racing droshky made Rudin raise his head. Lezhnyov was driving to meet him with his invariable trotting pony. Rudin bowed to him without speaking, and as though struck with a sudden thought, turned out of the road and walked quickly in the direction of Darya Mihailovna's house.
He ran like one possessed to Yulia Mihailovna's part of the house.

Valentina Mihailovna's sentiments towards Nejdanov however, were not quite so negative; she simply could not endure the idea that he, "a mere boy," had slighted her!
