evening I was not jealous.

Two days later I was to start for the assembly of the Zemstvo, and for
that reason, on taking leave of me and carrying all his scores with him,
Troukhatchevsky asked me when I should return. I inferred from that that
he believed it impossible to come to my house during my absence, and
that was agreeable to me. Now I was not to return before his departure
from the city. So we bade each other a definite farewell. For the
first time I shook his hand with pleasure, and thanked him for the
satisfaction that he had given me. He likewise took leave of my wife,
and their parting seemed to me very natural and proper. All went
marvellously. My wife and I retired, well satisfied with the evening. We
talked of our impressions in a general way, and we were nearer together
and more friendly than we had been for a long time."
