As autumn went on the young student fell
out so completely with his father, that he was
asked to go away, and not to come again next
vacation. In the mean time, the seed he had sown
in Aniuta’s mind kept growing and thriving.
There was a thorough change in her whole
appearance; she wore a plain black dress with a
white collar, and her hair gathered into a net.
Balls and similar entertainments were treated
with contempt. In the morning she called in
poor children and taught them to read, and
when she met a peasant woman on her walks
she would stop and talk kindly to her.
The most important change was, that Aniuta,
who used to hate anything that looked like
serious study, had now a perfect mania for
learned books. Instead of squandering her
pocket-money on frivolity and useless trinkets,
she would send for cases full of books, such as
‘The Physiology of Life,’ ‘The History of
Civilisation,’ etc.
One day she went to her father, and startled
him by the request that he would allow her to go
to St. Petersburg to study. Ivan Sergejevitsch
at first tried to turn it off with a laugh, as he had
done when she had asked him to let her live in
town.
