Summary
Since she had first met him, in 1899 right after he had stepped onto the political stage with "The Development of Capitalism in Russia", Ivana had been a staunch Leninist and a Plekhanovite before that. She was convinced that she would be until her last breath. But that had brought with it many things, ideologically and otherwise. It determined her loyalties. And it had cut her off from many comrades. Because they had disagreed with Lenin at some point. Offended him in some way. These men could behave like children sometimes. But that was how it had always been. In politics and damn near anywhere else. One could not remain neutral in these things, no matter how tempting and reasonable an option it might have seemed.
Cold Moscow nights and heated political discourse.

Summary
He had never had the gall to enter her bedchamber before; they played games, teased one another with mouths and fingers and words in dim corners but it always stopped short. Because she stopped it. But here, in her bed, in a state half between sleep and awake, when he came to her; this time he did not stop.

Summary
She could try to assemble these bits of knowledge into a father, but she would fail. It is like building a man out of spare parts: a lock of hair here, a patch of skin there. You can make a serviceable figure. It can walk around and sit and speak with you. But when you try to put its heart in, all you can find is a brick wall.
She went to England to see her father while he lived, in case the rebels killed him. She left thinking, I have seen all I will see of him, even if he lives another fifty years.
[28 July 1540. Five people who got on with their day, and one who didn’t.]
