...mutual, and Sergei's qualms about "ladies" temporarily subsided when they began living together. Gradually he discovered that Ludmilla was an incorrigible embodiment of the old order. Her love for him was so possessive she could hardly bear to let him out of her sight; she was jealous of his work, his friends, all women acquaintances; she rapidly became much too much of an old-fashioned wife. Sergei, to whom love was not an all-consuming passion, was considerably bothered. After repeated scenes with Ludmilla he would ask himself: "Will there never come a time when women will stop...
