Part One
Chapter XI

The Prince left the scene for the comfort of his room, and Kolya came to speak with him.
He says that all this turmoil started with Nastasya Filippovna. He is smart for a schoolboy.
Prince admits he doesn't quite like Kolya's brother, Ganya.
Varya comes in and admits that Prince has some strange influence over Nastasya.
Suddenly, Ganya barges in and tries to get the Prince to forgive him. Prince, surprised, silently embraced Ganya and they kissed each other. Ganya, however, refuses to apologize to his sister.

Prince and Ganya wonder is "torment" of marriage is worth $75,000. Prince - "a man marries for money, and the money stays with the wife." Ganya used to love her, but admits that now Nastasya is a "terribly irritable, suspicious, and vain woman"

Prince sees Ganya laugh and strikes him by saying he's quite childlike. "It's all somehow absurd"
He talks about Ptitsyn's struggle to make money... "The meanest and most hateful thing about money is that it even gives one talent."

Prince admits that he, too, likes Nastasya.

The chapter ends with Koyla delivering to Myshkin a note from his Father...
