HARMONICA CHROMATIC: "And Selenin, too, was in favour of the rejection. Terrible! terrible!" Nekhludoff repeated. "What is to be done now?" "We will appeal to His Majesty, and you can hand in the petition yourself while you are here. I will write it for you." At this moment little Wolf, with his stars and uniform, came out into the waiting-room and approached Nekhludoff. "It could not be helped, dear Prince. The reasons for an appeal were not sufficient," he said, shrugging his narrow shoulders and closing his eyes, and then he went his way. After Wolf, Selenin came out too, having heard from theHARMONICA CHROMATIC: Senators that his old friend Nekhludoff was there. "Well, I never expected to see you here," he said, coming up to Nekhludoff, and smiling only with his lips while his eyes remained sad. "I did not know you were in Petersburg." "And I did not know you were Public Prosecutor-in-Chief." "How is it you are in the Senate?" asked Selenin. "I had heard, by the way, that you were in Petersburg. But what are you doing here?" "Here? I am here because I hoped to find justice and save a woman innocently condemned." "What woman?" "The one whose case has just been
HARMONICA CHROMATIC: decided." "Oh! Maslova's case," said Selenin, suddenly remembering it. "The appeal had no grounds whatever." "It is not the appeal; it's the woman who is innocent, and is being punished." Selenin sighed. "That may well be, but----" "Not _may be_, but is." "How do you know?" "Because I was on the jury. I know how we made the mistake." Selenin became thoughtful. "You should have made a statement at the time," he said. "I did make the statement." "It should have been put down in an official report. If this had been added to the petition for the appeal--" "Yes, but still,
HARMONICA CHROMATIC: as it is, the verdict is evidently absurd." "The Senate has no right to say so. If the Senate took upon itself to repeal the decision of the law courts according to its own views as to the justice of the decisions in themselves, the verdict of the jury would lose all its meaning, not to mention that the Senate would have no basis to go upon, and would run the risk of infringing justice rather than upholding it," said Selenin, calling to mind the case that had just been heard. "All I know is that this woman is quite innocent, and
HARMONICA CHROMATIC: that the last hope of saying her from an unmerited punishment is gone. The grossest injustice has been confirmed by the highest court." "It has not been confirmed. The Senate did not and cannot enter into the merits of the case in itself," said Selenin. Always busy and rarely going out into society, he had evidently heard nothing of Nekhludoff's romance. Nekhludoff noticed it, and made up his mind that it was best to say nothing about his special relations with Maslova. "You are probably staying with your aunt," Selenin remarked, apparently wishing to change the subject. "She told me you were
