In the house of Turkish, too, everything remains still, the heroes are only agreed and do not develop at all.
Dr. Dmitry Ionovich Starters began his career as a Zemsky doctor in the village of Dliliz in the vicinity of the provincial city of S. Hero grew up among the simple and unsecured people, in the family of Dyccé - a small minister of the Church. By the nature of Dmitry Ionovich, the man is kind and stupid, Ekaterina Turkina calls the hero "the best of people." In the eyes of the public, Dmitry Ionovich appears by an intelligent person, it works at work a lot. The hero is so busy in the hospital, which cannot find free time on personal affairs.
At first, Dmitry Startseva has no money, and he lives the hero is quite poor. Nine miles that separated the village of Dalija from the city of S., the hero has to overcome on foot, because there is no money for horses in Dmitry Ionovich. The young doctor is interested not only by one medicine, but also by literature and art. He can talk for hours about these subjects.

The career of the doctor, meanwhile, slowly goes up, and after a year of the elders can afford to acquire a couple of horses and hire a koucher.
Four years after the hero ripped the relationship with Catherine, the reader sees a different picture. The elders frustrated and earned the shortness of breath, blinked off walking on foot and travels around the city on the top three horses. The time of the hero is employed mostly by work. Startieva has extensive practice. In the morning, the hero hurts patients in the village, then takes the top three and goes to the city, where patients are also waiting for it. Home Hero returns late at night.
No friends have no friends. The hero falls on the debt of the service to see many people and to be in different homes, but patients and other people are caused by one deaf irritation from Starty. Their views on life, appearance and conversations are unpleasant to the hero, so the elders closely do not converge with anyone. The life of the hero of dim and monotum, the older lacks impressions. According to his own sense, the hero is only "becoming" and "lowered". The work turns for Starty to the means of profit, and he does not see anything good in such a life.
Four years later, when the elders occurs again with Catherine, he does not have any gentle feelings to a woman, and the doctor is just rejoicing that he did not marry before. Ekaterina herself regrets that she refused the older, and wants to get close to get together, but the hero does not want any close relationship. Catherine seems older too pale, the expression of the face of the heroine, a smile, voice and even a dress and armchair are now caused by Startsev rejection. As a result, the doctor stops visiting Turkish.
It takes a few more years, and the doctor of elders turns into an unpleasant type, which surrounding the name is exclusively "ions". The doctor was dying even more, he became unhealthy red face, began to breathe hard and now he could only walk back his head. The hero of the rich is so much so that he bought himself the estate and two houses in the city, and is going to still buy the third. Work has become even more, and the older "once sigh".
A peculiar "entertainment" appears at the Hero - in the evenings, they pull out money from all pockets from patients per day, and lovingly those recalculate. When a rather large amount is recruited, the hero puts money to the account in the society of mutual loan.
The character of Starteva will finally deteriorate, and life is completely devoid of meaning and monotony. The doctor is easily annoyed on patients, angry and increases the voice, looks at the floor with a stick. The hero lives alone, he left no interests. Live older boring. In the evenings, the hero goes to the club, where he plays the screw, and then dines alone behind a large table. Youth love for Catherine Turkina turns out to be the only light episode in the Hero's life.
