4 "I can always sacrifice my feelings for my family's welfare," he said to himself, "but I can't coerce my feelings."
5 "For God's sake, I implore you, come at once if you do not wish to make me and the whole family wretched," wrote the countess.
6 Well, anyway," thought Sonya as she stood in the dark passage, "now or never I must prove that I remember the family's goodness to me and that I love Nicholas.
7 She could not help loving the countess and the whole Rostov family, but neither could she help loving Nicholas and knowing that his happiness depended on that love.
