"If you admit that it is a benefit," said Sergey Ivanovitch,

"then, as an honest man, you cannot help caring about it and

sympathizing with the movement, and so wishing to work for it."

"But I still do not admit this movement to be just," said

Konstantin Levin, reddening a little.

"What! But you said just now...."

"That's to say, I don't admit it's being either good or

possible."

"That you can't tell without making the trial."

"Well, supposing that's so," said Levin, though he did not

suppose so at all, "supposing that is so, still I don't see, all

the same, what I'm to worry myself about it for."

"How so?"

"No; since we are talking, explain it to me from the

philosophical point of view," said Levin.

"I can't see where philosophy comes in," said Sergey Ivanovitch,

in a tone, Levin fancied, as though he did not admit his

brother's right to talk about philosophy. And that irritated

Levin.
