General Nazimoff's wife learned that, instead of an income of a hundred thousand a year, which she had had a right to expect, she could count only on a sum sufficient to keep her from poverty; what in her opinion was a mere pittance. The doctor finished reading, coughing to hide his confusion, and slowly folded the document. "You have heard?" asked the general, in a faint, convulsive voice.

They will come in a few minutes, to seal up the dead man's papers!" "To seal up the papers? Why?" "That is the law. So that everything should be intact, until after the last will and testament of the deceased has been read, according to his wishes." General Nazimoff's wife paled perceptibly. She knew nothing of such an obstacle, and had not expected it.

His elder daughter would also probably come. The lawyer was not acquainted with Nazimoff's family; indeed he had never before seen the general, though, like all Russia, he knew of him by repute. But judging from the tone of contempt or of pity with which he spoke of his second wife or her daughter, the lawyer guessed at once that the general's home life was not happy.
But the young man had never uttered a syllable as to the cause of Madame Nazimoff's hatred for him. For the sake of his father-in-law's peace of mind, he sincerely hoped that he would never know. Anna was convinced that the whole cause of her step-mother's hostility was her prejudice against what was in her opinion a mesalliance.
