pg 213

At this point in the book Alyosha sees Ivan at the pub and is going in to begin their famous talk about life. They are reminiscing about their childhood and Alyosha mentions that Ivan is still quite like a child still. Alyosha has had quite a long day already, but finds time to sit down at the pub with Ivan. I get the feeling that Ivan and Alyosha do not speak much to each other in their regular lives. I think that Ivan and Dmitry are the closest of the brothers.
