The ball was wonderful: beautiful buffet, luxurious halls, famous musicians. That evening, Ivan did not drink, as he was intoxicated by love, and danced with Varenka. Only one mazurka with a girl beat off another gentleman from him. Ivan danced with the German, but all his attention this evening was riveted to Varenka. Advertising was flying unnoticed. In the last minutes of the ball, they walked along the hall for the hundredth time.

" Advertising when the procession passed by, Ivan saw Tatar's back: red, wet, unnatural. He "did not believe that it was the human body." Facing his gaze with the colonel, Ivan felt shame, he did not know where to look, and hurried home.

The one saw struck Ivan, his life changed dramatically. He did not go to the military and did not serve anywhere at all. Its endless, it seemed that love came to an end.
