retired army man, elegant, very dignified and melancholy-looking.

French expressions.  
Anna Dmítrievna's sitting-room, furnished with expensive simplicity,  
and filled with souvenirs.  
Anna Dmítrievna is writing. Footman enters.  
FOOTMAN. Prince Abrézkov ...

before the looking-glass].  
Enter Abrézkov.
