The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy: false modesty, to me--everything has been changed, changed in
such a way that the former horrors no longer exist, and they are
really quite comfortable there. Well, you'll see. There's
Fanarin. I do not know him personally; besides, my social
position keeps our ways apart; but he is positively a bad man,
and besides, he takes the liberty of saying such things in the
court--such things!"
"Well, thank you," Nekhludoff said, taking the paper, and without
listening further he bade good-day to his former comrade.
"And won't you go in to see my wife?"
"No, pray excuse me; I have no time now."
