Воспоминание о жене, которая так много была виновата пред ним и пред которою он был так свят, как справедливо говорила ему графиня Лидия Ивановна, не должно было бы смущать его; но он не был спокоен: он не мог понимать книги, которую он читал, не мог отогнать мучительных воспоминаний о своих отношениях к ней, о тех ошибках, которые он, как ему теперь казалось, сделал относительно ее.
The thought of his wife, who had so greatly sinned against him, and towards whom he had been so saintly, as Countess Lidia Ivanovna had so justly told him, ought not to have troubled him; but he was not easy; he could not understand the book he was reading; he could not drive away harassing recollections of his relations with her, of the mistake which, as it now seemed, he had made in regard to her.
