He did not believe in death in general, and especially not in her death, despite what Lydia Ivanovna had told him and his father had confirmed, and therefore even after he had been told she was dead, he went on looking for her when on his walks.
No creía en la muerte en general, ni en particular en la de su madre, aunque Lidia Ivanovna se lo dijera y papá se lo hubiera confirmado. Por eso, aun después de decirle que había muerto, cuantas veces salía a pasear continuaba buscándola.
