Which statement is the most accurate summary of this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich

"no, i mustn't thing of is too painful," ivan ilyich said to himself, and brought himself back to the present—to the button on the back of the sofa and the creases in its morocco. "morocco is expensive, but it does not wear well: there had been a quarrel about it. it was a different kind of quarrel and a different kind of morocco that time when we tore father's portfolio and were punished, and mamma brought us some " and again his thoughts dwelt on his childhood, and again it was painful and he tried to banish them and fix his mind on something else.
