This examination is semantically focused on the category of adverbial qualification, and syntactically on case structures. In accordance with the topic of the novel as well as with the language means which the author uses in order to describe the characters and their lives, a lot of structures discussed in this paper belong to a semantic category of qualification and appear on about 100 pages of the novel, show a semantic potential of these case forms in the domain of qualification in a broader sense, i.e. they point out its mixing with other semantic categories.
