When
Totski
had
approached
the
general
with
his
request
for
friendly
counsel
as
to
a
marriage
with
one
of
his
daughters
,
he
had
made
a
full
and
candid
confession
.
He
had
said
that
he
intended
to
stop
at
no
means
to
obtain
his
freedom
;
even
if
Nastasia
were
to
promise
to
leave
him
entirely
alone
in
future
,
he
would
not
(
he
said
)
believe
and
trust
her
;
words
were
not
enough
for
him
;
he
must
have
solid
guarantees
of
some
sort
.
So
he
and
the
general
determined
to
try
what
an
attempt
to
appeal
to
her
heart
would
effect
.
Having
arrived
at
Nastasia
's
house
one
day
,
with
Epanchin
,
Totski
immediately
began
to
speak
of
the
intolerable
torment
of
his
position
.
382
He
admitted
that
he
was
to
blame
for
all
,
but
candidly
confessed
that
he
could
not
bring
himself
to
feel
any
remorse
for
his
original
guilt
towards
herself
,
because
he
was
a
man
of
sensual
passions
which
were
inborn
and
ineradicable
,
and
that
he
had
no
power
over
himself
in
this
respect
;
but
that
he
wished
,
seriously
,
to
marry
at
last
,
and
that
the
whole
fate
of
the
most
desirable
social
union
which
he
contemplated
,
was
in
her
hands
;
in
a
word
,
he
confided
his
all
to
her
generosity
of
heart
.
383
General
Epanchin
took
up
his
part
and
spoke
in
the
character
of
father
of
a
family
;
he
spoke
sensibly
,
and
without
wasting
words
over
any
attempt
at
sentimentality
,
he
merely
recorded
his
full
admission
of
her
right
to
be
the
arbiter
of
Totski
's
destiny
at
this
moment
.
He
then
pointed
out
that
the
fate
of
his
daughter
,
and
very
likely
of
both
his
other
daughters
,
now
hung
upon
her
reply
.

To
Nastasia
's
question
as
to
what
they
wished
her
to
do
,
Totski
confessed
that
he
had
been
so
frightened
by
her
,
five
years
ago
,
that
he
could
never
now
be
entirely
comfortable
until
she
herself
married
.
He
immediately
added
that
such
a
suggestion
from
him
would
,
of
course
,
be
absurd
,
unless
accompanied
by
remarks
of
a
more
pointed
nature
.
He
very
well
knew
,
he
said
,
that
a
certain
young
gentleman
of
good
family
,
namely
,
Gavrila
Ardalionovitch
Ivolgin
,
with
whom
she
was
acquainted
,
and
whom
she
received
at
her
house
,
had
long
loved
her
passionately
,
and
would
give
his
life
for
some
response
from
her
.
385
The
young
fellow
had
confessed
this
love
of
his
to
him
(
Totski
)
and
had
also
admitted
it
in
the
hearing
of
his
benefactor
,
General
Epanchin
.
Lastly
,
he
could
not
help
being
of
opinion
that
Nastasia
must
be
aware
of
Gania
's
love
for
her
,
and
if
he
(
Totski
)
mistook
not
,
she
had
looked
with
some
favour
upon
it
,
being
often
lonely
,
and
rather
tired
of
her
present
life
.
Having
remarked
how
difficult
it
was
for
him
,
of
all
people
,
to
speak
to
her
of
these
matters
,
Totski
concluded
by
saying
that
he
trusted
Nastasia
Philipovna
would
not
look
with
contempt
upon
him
if
he
now
expressed
his
sincere
desire
to
guarantee
her
future
by
a
gift
of
seventy-five
thousand
roubles
.
He
added
that
the
sum
would
have
been
left
her
all
the
same
in
his
will
,
and
that
therefore
she
must
not
consider
the
gift
as
in
any
way
an
indemnification
to
her
for
anything
,
but
that
there
was
no
reason
,
after
all
,
why
a
man
should
not
be
allowed
to
entertain
a
natural
desire
to
lighten
his
conscience
,
etc.
,
etc.
;
in
fact
,
all
that
would
naturally
be
said
under
the
circumstances
.
Totski
was
very
eloquent
all
through
,
and
,
in
conclusion
,
just
touched
on
the
fact
that
not
a
soul
in
the
world
,
not
even
General
Epanchin
,
had
ever
heard
a
word
about
the
above
seventy-five
thousand
roubles
,
and
that
this
was
the
first
time
he
had
ever
given
expression
to
his
intentions
in
respect
to
them
.
386
Nastasia
Philipovna
's
reply
to
this
long
rigmarole
astonished
both
the
friends
considerably
.
387
Not
only
was
there
no
trace
of
her
former
irony
,
of
her
old
hatred
and
enmity
,
and
of
that
dreadful
laughter
,
the
very
recollection
of
which
sent
a
cold
chill
down
Totski
's
back
to
this
very
day
;
but
she
seemed
charmed
and
really
glad
to
have
the
opportunity
of
talking
seriously
with
him
for
once
in
a
way
.
She
confessed
that
she
had
long
wished
to
have
a
frank
and
free
conversation
and
to
ask
for
friendly
advice
,
but
that
pride
had
hitherto
prevented
her
;
now
,
however
,
that
the
ice
was
broken
,
nothing
could
be
more
welcome
to
her
than
this
opportunity
.

First
,
with
a
sad
smile
,
and
then
with
a
twinkle
of
merriment
in
her
eyes
,
she
admitted
that
such
a
storm
as
that
of
five
years
ago
was
now
quite
out
of
the
question
.
She
said
that
she
had
long
since
changed
her
views
of
things
,
and
recognized
that
facts
must
be
taken
into
consideration
in
spite
of
the
feelings
of
the
heart
.
What
was
done
was
done
and
ended
,
and
she
could
not
understand
why
Totski
should
still
feel
alarmed
.
389
She
next
turned
to
General
Epanchin
and
observed
,
most
courteously
,
that
she
had
long
since
known
of
his
daughters
,
and
that
she
had
heard
none
but
good
report
;
that
she
had
learned
to
think
of
them
with
deep
and
sincere
respect
.
The
idea
alone
that
she
could
in
any
way
serve
them
,
would
be
to
her
both
a
pride
and
a
source
of
real
happiness
.
390
It
was
true
that
she
was
lonely
in
her
present
life
;
Totski
had
judged
her
thoughts
aright
.
She
longed
to
rise
,
if
not
to
love
,
at
least
to
family
life
and
new
hopes
and
objects
,
but
as
to
Gavrila
Ardalionovitch
,
she
could
not
as
yet
say
much
.
