...of friends at odds

In silence, only occasionally exchanging a few unimportant words, our friends travelled to Fedot's. Bazarov was not entirely satisfied with himself. Arkady was dissatisfied with him. In addition, he felt in his heart that pointless sadness which is familiar only to those who are very young. The coachman changed the horses and, climbing on to his box, asked which way: right or left?
