But Insarov was feeling conscience-stricken. He sat in the carriage opposite Elena (Bersyenev was on the box) and said nothing; she, too, was silent. He thought she was blaming him for what had happened, but she was not. True, she had been very frightened during the first minute or two; then she had been struck by the expression on his face; and then she had begun to think - though she was not quite clear what she thought. The emotion which she had experienced during the day had gone - that she realised; but it had given place to something else, something which she still did not understand.
