Panshine bowed in an engaging manner to all the occupants of the room; shook hands with Maria Dmitrievna and Elizaveta Mikhailovna, lightly tapped Gedeonovsky on the shoulder, and, turning on his heels, took Lenochka's head between his hands and kissed her on the forehead. "Are not you afraid to ride such a vicious horse?" asked Maria Dmitrievna. "I beg your pardon, it is perfectly quiet.
Many a time have I tricked them ran round the other way and jumped over the ditch. I never liked that sort of thing any time. A maid I was, a maid I am. After my grandmother's death, Agafya Mikhailovna was sent on to the home farm for some reason or other, and minded the sheep. She got so fond of sheep that all her days after she never would touch mutton.
Panshine asked after Lizaveta Mikhailovna, and expressed his regret at hearing that she was not quite well. Then he began to converse with Varvara Pavlovna, weighing every word carefully and emphasizing it distinctly in true diplomatic style, and, when she spoke, respectfully hearing her answers to the end.
Andrey Ivanovich's wife, Alexandra Mikhailovna, being without resources after the death of her husband, with a little daughter in arms, enters a book-binding establishment, belonging to a man named Semidalov.

"You cannot tell that," said Liza, in a low voice. "You forget. It was not long ago that you and I were talking, and you were not willing to forgive her." Both of them walked along the alley for a time in silence.
When I was in Petersburg, the exhibitions took place in the ballroom and drawing-room of one grand ducal palace, while the home and weekly meetings were in the palace of the Grand Duchess Ekaterina Mikhailovna, now dead.

But what do you see objectionable in that marriage?" "Every thing is objectionable every thing. Lizaveta Mikhailovna is a serious, true-hearted girl, with lofty sentiments.
We have a musician here, an old German, very learned and quite an original. He gives Liza lessons. You would simply make him go out of his mind." "Is Lizaveta Mikhailovna also a musician?" asked Madame Lavretsky, turning her head a little towards her. "Yes; she doesn't play badly, and she is very fond I of music. But what does that signify in comparison with you?
