& it was this man who,falling in love with Katiousha,had a decisive influence over her.With the instincts of a woman,Maslova soon discovered,& the consciousness that she could arouse the feeling of love in such a remarkable man raised her in her own estimation.Nekhludoff offered to marry her out of magnanimity,& the obligation for the past,but Simonson loved her as she was now,&loved her simply because he loved her

One of the two things had happened—either she had fallen in love with Simonson and did not wish his sacrifice, which weighed so heavily on him, or she was still in love with Nekhludoff and renounced him for his own good, burning all bridges behind her, and throwing her fortunes in the same scale with those of Simonson. Nekhludoff understood it, and felt ashamed.
"If you are in love with him," he said.”

What do you think of him? said Maria Pablovna. In love,& earnestly in love! I never thought that Vladimir Simonson could fall in love in such a very stupid, childish fashion. It is remarkable,& to tell the truth, sad, she concluded,sighing.
But Katia? How do you think she will take it? asked Nekhludoff.
She? You see, notwithstanding her past, she is naturally of a most moral character.& her feelings are so refined

“That one in the theatre also smiled that way when I entered," he thought, "and the smile of the former conveyed the same meaning as that of the latter. The only difference between them is that this one speaks openly and plainly, while the other pretends to be exercising higher and refined feelings. But in reality they are alike. This one is at least truthful, while the other is lying."

“And what if all my ideas are due to an over-wrought imagination, and I should be unable to live up to them? If I should repent of what I have done?" he asked himself, and, being unable to find answers to these questions, he was stricken with such sadness and despair as he had rarely experienced before, and he fell into that deep slumber which had been habitual with him after heavy losses at cards.

What is it that surprises you?
Everything.I can understand the orderly who acted under orders,but the assistant prosecutor who drew the indictment is an educated man-
That is the mistake.We are used to think that the court officers generally-are a kind of new, liberal men.& so they were at one time,but not now.The only thing that concerns these officers is to draw their salaries on the 20th of every month

One of the most popular superstitions consists in the belief that every man is endowed with definite qualities—that some men are kind, some wicked; some wise, some foolish; some energetic, some apathetic, etc. This is not true. We may say of a man that he is oftener kind than wicked; oftener wise than foolish; oftener energetic than apathetic, and vice versa.

I came to ask your forgiveness,
Oh! Forgiveness, forgiveness! That is all nonsense. You had better——
That I wish to atone for my sin, not by words but by deed. I have decided to marry you.
What is that for?
I feel that before God I must do it.
What God, now, are you talking about? You are not talking to the point. God? What God? Why didn't you think of God then?

The whole world was after pleasure. Her belief in this was strengthened by the old author whom she met during the second year of her independent life. He had told her frankly that this—he called it poetical and esthetic—is all of life's happiness.
Every one lived for himself only, for his own pleasure, and all the words about God and goodness were deception.

For a long time that night Maslova lay awake with open eyes, and, looking at the door, mused.
She was thinking that under no circumstances would she marry a convict on the island of Saghalin, but would settle down some other way—with some inspector, or clerk, or even the warden, or an assistant. They are all eager for such a thing. "Only I must not get thin. Otherwise I am done for.”

Nekhludoff was always wavering between two different relations he sustained toward Missy. Sometimes he looked at her as through blinking eyes or by moonlight, and then she seemed to him beautiful, fresh, pretty, clever and natural. At other times he looked at her as if under a bright sun, and then he saw only her defects. To-day was such a day.

“She felt, besides, that he considered her an unusual woman, distinguished from all other women, and possessing high moral qualities. She did not know exactly what those qualities were, but, at all events, not to deceive him, she endeavored with all her power to call forth her best qualities and, necessarily, be as good as she could be.”
