- With: Anna
- “She’s writing a children’s book, and doesn’t talk about it to anyone, but she read it to me and I gave the manuscript to Vorkuev ... you know the publisher ... and he’s an author himself too, I fancy. He understands those things, and he says it’s a remarkable piece of work.”

with Anna (Vorkuev is the publisher handling Anna’s manuscript.) “She’s writing a children’s book, and doesn’t talk about it to anyone, but she read it to me and I gave the manuscript to Vorkuev ... you know the publisher ...”
with Stepan Arkadyevitch (Stepan gave Anna's manuscript to Vorkuev.) “she’s writing a children’s book, and doesn’t talk about it to anyone, but she read it to me and I gave the manuscript to Vorkuev ... you know the publisher ... and he’s an author himself too.”

with Anna (They are conversation partners and acquaintances.) “‘Give it to me, Anna Arkadyevna,’ said Vorkuev, indicating the book.”
with Levin (They engage in an exchange about art.) “The conversation turned on the new movement in art, on the new illustrations of the Bible by a French artist. Vorkuev attacked the artist for a realism carried to the point of coarseness. Levin said that the French had carried conventionality further than anyone, and that consequently they see a great merit in the return to realism.”
