As is always the case with the dead, his face was handsomer and above all more dignified than when he was alive. The expression on the face said that what was necessary had been accomplished, and accomplished rightly. Besides this there was in that expression a reproach and a warning to the living. This warning seemed to Peter Ivanovich out of place, or at least not applicable to him.

Sad
Ivan Ilych wanted to weep, wanted to be petted & cried over & then his colleague Shebek would come & instead of weeping & being petted, Ivan Ilych would assume a serious, severe & profound air & by force of habit would express his opinion on a decision of the Court of Cassation & would stubbornly insist on that view. This falsity around him & within him did more than anything else to poison his last days
