He is joined by a university student, not through friendship but by arrangement, setting the…-

Chapter XIX begins with growing unease between the people of Obrutchanovo and the well-to-do newcomers living in the New Villa. The difference in customs, lifestyle, and expectations breeds suspicion on both sides.
