At first the princess noticed nothing but that Kitty was much under the influence of her engouement, as
she called it, for Madame Stahl, and still more for Varenka. She saw that Kitty did not merely imitate
Varenka in her conduct, but unconsciously imitated her in her manner of walking, of talking, of blinking
her eyes. But later on the princess noticed that, apart from this adoration, some kind of serious spiritual
change was taking place in her daughter.
