Zaroff is being described.
Most likely to look at the cover, to view the name title, etc. or even to view the publisher or authors of the titles. You will also probably be brought in by the headlines and previews shown on the front cover.
A man is constantly affected by nature and unwillingly sees others' feeling as his own. We can't abstain from being slaves of our surroundings. Our opportunity lies in finding a domain that will impact us absolutely. You may my thoughts intriguing but its just an opinion.
Answer:
The strange thing about Zaroff's reply is that he thinks that Rainsford is sickened by his long swim before he arrived, however, we know that he is sickened by the thought of Zaroff's library of heads he has mounted and the idea of the "game" he has created.
Explanation:
Before Rainsford excuses himself, Zaroff invites Rainsford to view his collection of heads of men that he has hunted. When Rainsford claims that he is not feeling well, Zaroff's thinks that he is tired from the swim when in reality, he is sickened by Zaroff's horrifying "game" he has created. The point is: it does not enter Zaroff's mind that Rainsford might be sickened at Zaroff's custom of hunting humans.
