Groholsky was still living in the same villa. A. The poor fellow really did feel awfully happy. B.

His hopes and desires, small and unexacting, were still concentrated on the same Liza, on her alone, and on nothing else! D. As before, he could not take his eyes off her, and gloated over the thought: how happy I am! S2. As before, she spent her days for the most part in silence, often in tears and from time to time in putting mustard plasters on Groholsky.
