Prince Tchetchensky had a wife and family, grown-up pages in the corps,...and he had another illegitimate family of children also.
Though the first family was very nice too, Prince Tchetchensky felt happier in his second family; and he used to take his eldest son with him to his second family, and told Stepan Arkadyevitch that he thought it good for his son, enlarging his ideas.
What would have been said to that in Moscow? His children? In Petersburg children did not prevent their parents from enjoying life.
