Er hörte zu, wie Agafja Michailowna erzählte, daß dieser Prochor doch ein ganz gottvergessener Mensch sei und das Geld, das ihm Ljewin zum Ankauf eines Pferdes geschenkt habe, vertrinke, ohne jemals aus dem Rausche herauszukommen, und daß er seine Frau beinahe zu Tode geprügelt habe.
He listened to Agatha Mikhaylovna's talk of how Prokhor had forgotten the Lord, was spending on drink the money Levin had given him to buy a horse with, and had beaten his wife nearly to death; he listened and read, and remembered the whole sequence of thoughts raised by what he was reading.
