there’s to be a meeting today between Aglaya Ivanovna and Nastasya Filippovna—who has been specially summoned from Petersburg, through Rogozhin, at Aglaya’s invitation and by my own efforts?
‘By my own efforts’ are important words for me to be able to validate my previous annotation and analysis — that Ippolit has been tormenting him as well as Rogozhin :P
Even so, I still see Ippolit’s ‘Explanation’ during Myshkin’s bday as some sort of torment for the Prince — that and all his insultings of Nastasya at times.
