As the General and Ganya talk, Myshkin overhears Ganya discuss his plans to marry Nastasya Filippovna. Myshkin rents a room from the General's assistant, Ganya. He meets Madame Epanchin and their three daughters: Alexandra, Adelaida, and Aglaya.

Myshkin visits the Epanchin home and charms his way into a job with the family patriarch, General Epanchin. Rogozhin explains his plan to use his new wealth to seduce a young woman named Nastasya Filippovna. On the train, Myshkin meets Rogozhin, who has recently inherited a fortune, and a young clerk named Lebedev. He rides the train to Saint Petersburg to visit the Epanchin family, distant relatives whom he hopes will be able to help him. After spending several years in Switzerland to receive treatment for epilepsy, he returns to Russia as a penniless, pitiable figure.
