The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Reminiscences of Tolstoy by Leo Tolstoy: Fet, on his way into Moscow, always used to turn in at
Yásnaya Polyána to see my father, and these visits
became an established custom. Afterward, when the railway was made
and my father was already married, Afanásyi
Afanásyevitch still never passed our house without coming
in, and if he did,
¹Tolstoy's sister. She became a nun after her husband's
death and the marriage of her three daughters.
²Tolstoy was in the artillery, and commanded a battery in
the Crimea.
