In the early days after his return from Moscow, whenever Levin

shuddered and grew red, remembering the disgrace of his

rejection, he said to himself: "This was just how I used to

shudder and blush, thinking myself utterly lost, when I was

plucked in physics and did not get my remove; and how I thought

myself utterly ruined after I had mismanaged that affair of my

sister's that was entrusted to me. And yet, now that years have

passed, I recall it and wonder that it could distress me so much.

It will be the same thing too with this trouble. Time will go by

and I shall not mind about this either."
