We
have
spoken
of
these
letters
chiefly
because
in
them
is
often
to
be
found
some
news
of
the
Epanchin
family
,
and
of
Aglaya
in
particular
.
Evgenie
Pavlovitch
wrote
of
her
from
Paris
,
that
after
a
short
and
sudden
attachment
to
a
certain
Polish
count
,
an
exile
,
she
had
suddenly
married
him
,
quite
against
the
wishes
of
her
parents
,
though
they
had
eventually
given
their
consent
through
fear
of
a
terrible
scandal
.
Then
,
after
a
six
months
'
silence
,
Evgenie
Pavlovitch
informed
his
correspondent
,
in
a
long
letter
,
full
of
detail
,
that
while
paying
his
last
visit
to
Dr.
Schneider
's
establishment
,
he
had
there
come
across
the
whole
Epanchin
family
(
excepting
the
general
,
who
had
remained
in
St.
Petersburg
)
and
Prince
S
.
The
meeting
was
a
strange
one
.
They
all
received
Evgenie
Pavlovitch
with
effusive
delight
;
Adelaida
and
Alexandra
were
deeply
grateful
to
him
for
his
"
angelic
kindness
to
the
unhappy
prince
.
"
Lizabetha
Prokofievna
,
when
she
saw
poor
Muishkin
,
in
his
enfeebled
and
humiliated
condition
,
had
wept
bitterly
.
Apparently
all
was
forgiven
him
.
Prince
S.
had
made
a
few
just
and
sensible
remarks
.
It
seemed
to
Evgenie
Pavlovitch
that
there
was
not
yet
perfect
harmony
between
Adelaida
and
her
fiance
,
but
he
thought
that
in
time
the
impulsive
young
girl
would
let
herself
be
guided
by
his
reason
and
experience
.
Besides
,
the
recent
events
that
had
befallen
her
family
had
given
Adelaida
much
to
think
about
,
especially
the
sad
experiences
of
her
younger
sister
.
Within
six
months
,
everything
that
the
family
had
dreaded
from
the
marriage
with
the
Polish
count
had
come
to
pass
.
He
turned
out
to
be
neither
count
nor
exile
--
at
least
,
in
the
political
sense
of
the
word
--
but
had
had
to
leave
his
native
land
owing
to
some
rather
dubious
affair
of
the
past
.
It
was
his
noble
patriotism
,
of
which
he
made
a
great
display
,
that
had
rendered
him
so
interesting
in
Aglaya
's
eyes
.
She
was
so
fascinated
that
,
even
before
marrying
him
,
she
joined
a
committee
that
had
been
organized
abroad
to
work
for
the
restoration
of
Poland
;
and
further
,
she
visited
the
confessional
of
a
celebrated
Jesuit
priest
,
who
made
an
absolute
fanatic
of
her
.
The
supposed
fortune
of
the
count
had
dwindled
to
a
mere
nothing
,
although
he
had
given
almost
irrefutable
evidence
of
its
existence
to
Lizabetha
Prokofievna
and
Prince
S.
Besides
this
,
before
they
had
been
married
half
a
year
,
the
count
and
his
friend
the
priest
managed
to
bring
about
a
quarrel
between
Aglaya
and
her
family
,
so
that
it
was
now
several
months
since
they
had
seen
her
.
In
a
word
,
there
was
a
great
deal
to
say
;
but
Mrs.
Epanchin
,
and
her
daughters
,
and
even
Prince
S
,
were
still
so
much
distressed
by
Aglaya
's
latest
infatuations
and
adventures
,
that
they
did
not
care
to
talk
of
them
,
though
they
must
have
known
that
Evgenie
knew
much
of
the
story
already
.
Poor
Lizabetha
Prokofievna
was
most
anxious
to
get
home
,
and
,
according
to
Evgenie
's
account
,
she
criticized
everything
foreign
with
much
hostility
.
"
They
ca
n't
bake
bread
anywhere
,
decently
;
and
they
all
freeze
in
their
houses
,
during
winter
,
like
a
lot
of
mice
in
a
cellar
.
At
all
events
,
I
've
had
a
good
Russian
cry
over
this
poor
fellow
,
"
she
added
,
pointing
to
the
prince
,
who
had
not
recognized
her
in
the
slightest
degree
.
"
So
enough
of
this
nonsense
;
it
's
time
we
faced
the
truth
.
All
this
continental
life
,
all
this
Europe
of
yours
,
and
all
the
trash
about
'
going
abroad
'
is
simply
foolery
,
and
it
is
mere
foolery
on
our
part
to
come
.
Remember
what
I
say
,
my
friend
;
you
'll
live
to
agree
with
me
yourself
.
"
So
spoke
the
good
lady
,
almost
angrily
,
as
she
took
leave
of
Evgenie
Pavlovitch
.
