Dolokhov himself during his convalescence spoke to Rostov in a way no one would have expected of him. And of my own knowledge I know that when consciousness returned with convalescence I sent for the clerk of the hotel. The Vicar, notwithstanding medical assurance that the boy was no longer infectious, received him with suspicion; he thought it very inconsiderate of the doctor to suggest that his nephew's convalescence should be spent by the seaside, and consented to have him in the house only because there was nowhere else he could go. |
