He found Tanya and her father, Yegor Semyonitch, in great anxiety. The clear starlight sky and the thermometer foretold a frost towards morning, and meanwhile Ivan Karlovitch, the gardener, had gone to the town, and they had no one to rely upon.
It seemed as though there were two men in him: one was the real Yegor Semyonitch, who was moved to indignation, and clutched his head in despair when he heard of some irregularity from Ivan Karlovitch the gardener; and another not the real one who seemed as though he were half drunk, would interrupt a business conversation at half a word, touch the gardener on the shoulder, and begin muttering: "Say what you like, there is a great deal in blood.
"Here's the Prince wanting to do you a favor, and to let the land to you; only you are not worthy of it," said the steward. "How are we not worthy of it, Vasili Karlovitch? Don't we work for you?

"Edward Karlovitch, play my favorite nocturne Field's," cried the countess, from the adjoining room. Dimmler struck a chord. "How quiet you young people are," he said, addressing them. "Yes, we are studying philosophy," said Natacha, and they went on talking of their dreams.
