1 Still he was sorry that he had disappointed the teacher.
2 He chose a moment when the teacher was looking in silence at the book.
3 On the contrary, he was far cleverer than the boys his teacher held up as examples to Seryozha.
4 He knew that the teacher did not think what he said; he felt it from the tone in which it was said.
5 With the ladies were sitting and standing smart lawyers, high school teachers in spectacles, and officers.
6 His teachers complained that he would not learn, while his soul was brimming over with thirst for knowledge.
7 And he learned from Kapitonitch, from his nurse, from Nadinka, from Vassily Lukitch, but not from his teachers.
8 His father and his teacher were both displeased with Seryozha, and he certainly did learn his lessons very badly.
9 But Vassily Lukitch was thinking of nothing but the necessity of learning the grammar lesson for the teacher, who was coming at two.
10 He could not, because the claims of his own soul were more binding on him than those claims his father and his teacher made upon him.
11 The spring his father and his teachers reckoned upon to turn their mill-wheels had long dried up at the source, but its waters did their work in another channel.
12 The time passed in such meditations, and when the teacher came, the lesson about the adverbs of place and time and manner of action was not ready, and the teacher was not only displeased, but hurt.
13 Levin was amazed both at Stepan Arkadyevitch, who, by neglecting his duty, threw upon the mother the supervision of studies of which she had no comprehension, and at the teachers for teaching the children so badly.
14 Seryozha looked intently at the teacher, at his scanty beard, at his spectacles, which had slipped down below the ridge on his nose, and fell into so deep a reverie that he heard nothing of what the teacher was explaining to him.
15 As long as the teacher was explaining to him, he believed him and seemed to comprehend, but as soon as he was left alone, he was positively unable to recollect and to understand that the short and familiar word "suddenly" is an adverb of manner of action.
