What her father said seemed simple enough, yet at these words Kitty became confused and
overcome like a detected criminal. “Yes, he sees it all, he understands it all, and in these words
he’s telling me that though I’m ashamed, I must get over my shame.” She could not pluck up spirit
to make any answer. She tried to begin, and all at once burst into tears, and rushed out of the
room.
“See what comes of your jokes!” the princess pounced down on her husband. “You’re always…”
she began a string of reproaches.
The prince listened to the princess’s scolding rather a long while without speaking, but his face
was more and more frowning.
“She’s so much to be pitied, poor child,runescape money, so much to be pitied, and you don’t feel how it hurts her to
hear the slightest reference to the cause of it. Ah! to be so mistaken in people!” said the princess,
and by the change in her tone both Dolly and the prince knew she was speaking of Vronsky. “I
don’t know why there aren’t laws against such base, dishonorable people.”
“Ah,Psu Meseta, I can’t bear to hear you!” said the prince gloomily, getting up from his low chair, and
seeming anxious to get away, yet stopping in the doorway. “There are laws,Psu Meseta, madam, and since
you’ve challenged me to it, I’ll tell you who’s to blame for it all: you and you, you and nobody
else. Laws against such young gallants there have always been, and there still are! Yes, if there has
been nothing that ought not to have been, old as I am, I’d have called him out to the barrier, the
young dandy. Yes, and now you physic her and call in these quacks.”
The prince apparently had plenty more to say, but as soon as the princess heard his tone she
subsided at once, and became penitent, as she always did on serious occasions.
“Alexander, Alexander,” she whispered, moving to him and beginning to weep.
As soon as she began to cry the prince too calmed down. He went up to her.
“There, that’s enough,ragnarok online zeny, that’s enough! You’re wretched too, I know. It can’t be helped. There’s no
great harm done. God is merciful…thanks…” he said, not knowing what he was saying, as he
responded to the tearful kiss of the princess that he felt on his hand. And the prince went out of the
Before this, as soon as Kitty went out of the room in tears, Dolly, with her motherly, family
instincts, had promptly perceived that here a woman’s work lay before her, and she prepared to do
it. She took of her hat, and, morally speaking, tucked up her sleeves and prepared for action.
While her mother was attacking her father, she tried to restrain her mother, so far as filial
reverence would allow. During the prince’s outburst she was silent; she felt ashamed for her
mother, and tender towards her father for so quickly being kind again. But when her father left
them she made ready for what was the chief thing needful–to go to Kitty and console her.

one must attack both sides at once.”
“And how about a tour abroad?” asked the family doctor.
“I’ve no liking for foreign tours. And take note: if there is an early stage of tuberculous process, of
which we cannot be certain, a foreign tour will be of no use. What is wanted is means of
improving nutrition, and not for lowering it.” And the celebrated doctor expounded his plan of
treatment with Soden waters, a remedy obviously prescribed primarily on the ground that they
could do no harm.
The family doctor listened attentively and respectfully.
“But in favor of foreign travel I would urge the change of habits, the removal from conditions
calling up reminiscences. And then the mother wishes it,” he added.
“Ah! Well, in that case, to be sure, let them go. Only, those German quacks are mischievous….
They ought to be persuaded…. Well, let them go then.”
?91 312 621 3
He glanced once more at his watch.
“Oh! time’s up already,” And he went to the door. The celebrated doctor announced to the princess
(a feeling of what was due from him dictated his doing so) that he ought to see the patient once
more.
“What! another examination!” cried the mother,mu bless, with horror.
“Oh,mu bless, no, only a few details, princess.”
“Come this way.”
And the mother, accompanied by the doctor, went into the drawing room to Kitty. Wasted and
flushed, with a peculiar glitter in her eyes, left there by the agony of shame she had been put
through, Kitty stood in the middle of the room. When the doctor came in she flushed crimson, and
her eyes filled with tears. All her illness and treatment struck her as a thing so stupid, ludicrous
even! Doctoring her seemed to her as absurd as putting together the pieces of a broken vase. Her
heart was broken. Why would they try to cure her with pills and powders? But she could not
grieve her mother, especially as her mother considered herself to blame.
“May I trouble you to sit down, princess?” the celebrated doctor said to her.
He sat down with a smile, facing her,mu online items, felt her pulse, and again began asker her tiresome questions.
She answered him, and all at once got up, furious.
“Excuse me, doctor,runescape money, but there is really no object in this. This is the third time you’ve asked me the
same thing.”
The celebrated doctor did not take offense.

liked it.
“I am glad it has all ended so satisfactorily, And that you are back again,” he went on. “Come,
what do they say about the new act I have got passed in the council?”
Anna had heard nothing of this act, And she felt conscience-stricken at having been able so readily
to forget what was to him of such importance.
“Here, on the other hand, it has made a great sensation,” he said, with a complacent smile.
She saw that Alexey Alexandrovitch wanted to tell her something pleasant to him about it, and she
brought him by questions to telling it. With the same complacent smile he told her of the ovations
he had received in consequence of the act the had passed.
“I was very, very glad. It shows that at last a reasonable and steady view of the matter is becoming
prevalent among us.”
Having drunk his second cup of tea with cream, and bread, Alexey Alexandrovitch got up, and
was going towards his study.
“And you’ve not been anywhere this evening? You’ve been dull, I expect?” he said.
“Oh, no!” she answered, getting up after him and accompanying him across the room to his study.
“What are you reading now?” she asked.
“Just now I’m reading Duc de Likke, Poesie des Enfers,runescape power leveling,” he answered. “A very remarkable book.”
Anna smiled, as people smile at the weaknesses of those they love, and,runescape money, putting her hand under
his, she escorted him to the door of the study. She knew his habit, that had grown into a necessity,
of reading in the evening. She knew,runescape money, too, that in spite of his official duties, which swallowed up
almost the whole of his time, he considered it his duty to keep up with everything of note that
?86 312 621 3
appeared in the intellectual world. She knew, too, that he was really interested in books dealing
with politics, philosophy,buy l2 adena, and theology, that art was utterly foreign to his nature; but, in spite of
this, or rather, in consequence of it, Alexey Alexandrovitch never passed over anything in the
world of art, but made it his duty to read everything. She knew that in politics, in philosophy, in
theology, Alexey Alexandrovitch often had doubts, and made investigations; but on questions of
art and poetry, and, above all, of music, of which he was totally devoid of understanding, he had
the most distinct and decided opinions. He was fond of talking about Shakespeare, Raphael,
Beethoven, of the significance of new schools of poetry and music, all of which were classified by
him with very conspicuous consistency.
“Well, God be with you,” she said at the door of the study, where a shaded candle and a decanter
of water were already put by his armchair. “And I’ll write to Moscow.”
He pressed her hand, and again kissed it.

By addressing his wife like this he gave Vronsky to understand that he wished to be left alone,
and, turning slightly towards him, he touched his hat; but Vronsky turned to Anna Arkadyevna.
“I hope I may have the honor of calling on you,” he said.
Alexey Alexandrovitch glanced with his weary eyes at Vronsky.
“Delighted,” he said coldly. “On Mondays we’re at home. Most fortunate,” he said to his wife,
dismissing Vronsky altogether, “that I should just have half an hour to meet you,cheap flyff money, so that I can
prove my devotion,” he went on in the same jesting tone.
“You lay too much stress on your devotion for me to value it much,” she responded in the same
jesting tone, involuntarily listening to the sound of Vronsky’s steps behind them. “But what has it
to do with me?” she said to herself, and she began asking her husband how Seryozha had got on
without her.
“Oh, capitally! Mariette says he has been very good, And…I must disappoint you…but he has not
missed you as your husband has. But once more merci, my dear, for giving me a day. Our dear
Samovar will be delighted.” (He used to call the Countess Lidia Ivanovna, well known in society,
a samovar, because she was always bubbling over with excitement.) “She has been continually
asking after you. And, do you know, if I may venture to advise you, you should go and see her
today. You know how she takes everything to heart. Just now, with all her own cares, she’s
anxious about the Oblonskys being brought together.”
The Countess Lidia Ivanovna was a friend of her husband’s, and the center of that one of the
coteries of the Petersburg world with which Anna was, through her husband, in the closest
relations.
“But you know I wrote to her?”
“Still she’ll want to hear details. Go and see her, if you’re not too tired,runescape money, my dear. Well, Kondraty
will take you in the carriage, while I go to my committee. I shall not be alone at dinner again,cheap knight gold,”
Alexey Alexandrovitch went on, no longer in a sarcastic tone. “You wouldn’t believe how I’ve
missed…” And with a long pressure of her hand and a meaning smile, he put her in her carriage.
Chapter 32
The first person to meet Anna at home was her son. He dashed down the stairs to her, in spite of
the governess’s call, and with desperate joy shrieked: “Mother! mother!” Running up to her, he
hung on her neck.
“I told you it was mother!” he shouted to the governess. “I knew!”
And her son, like her husband, aroused in Anna a feeling akin to disappointment. She had
imagined him better than he was in reality. She had to let herself drop down to the reality to enjoy
him as he really was. But even as he was, he was charming, with his fair curls, his blue eyes, and
his plump, graceful little legs in tightly pulled-up stockings. Anna experienced almost physical
pleasure in the sensation of his nearness, and his caresses, and moral soothing, when she met his
simple, confiding,wow power leveling, and loving glance, and heard his naive questions. Anna took out the presents

Chapter 30
The raging tempest rushed whistling between the wheels of the carriages, about the scaffolding,
and round the corner of the station. The carriages, posts, people, everything that was to be seen
was covered with snow on one side, and was getting more and more thickly covered. For a
moment there would come a lull in the storm, but then it would swoop down again with such
onslaughts that it seemed impossible to stand against it. Meanwhile men ran to and fro, talking
merrily together, their steps crackling on the platform as they continually opened and closed the
big doors. The bent shadow of a man glided by at her feet, and she heard sounds of a hammer
upon iron. “Hand over that telegram!” came an angry voice out of the stormy darkness on the
?79 312 621 3
other side. “This way! No. 28!” several different voices shouted again, and muffled figures ran by
covered with snow. Two gentleman with lighted cigarettes passed by her. She drew one more deep
breath of the fresh air, and had just put he hand out of her muff to take hold of the door post and
get back into the carriage, when another man in a military overcoat, quite close beside her, stepped
between her and the flickering light of the lamp post. She looked round, and the same instant
recognized Vronsky’s face. Putting his hand to the peak of his cap, he bowed to her and asked,final fantasy gil,
Was there anything she wanted? Could he be of any service to her? She gazed rather a long while
at him without answering, and, in spite of the shadow in which he was standing, she saw, or
fancied she saw,cheap rs gold, both the expression of his face and his eyes. It was again that expression of
reverential ecstasy which had so worked upon her the day before. More than once she had told
herself during the past few days, and again only a few moments before, that Vronsky was for her
only one of the hundreds of young men, forever exactly the same, that are met everywhere,buy flyff penya, that
she would never allow herself to bestow a thought upon him. But now at the first instant of
meeting him, she was seized by a feeling of joyful pride. She had no need to ask why he had
come. she knew as certainly as if he had told her that he was here to be where she was.
“I didn’t know you were going. What are you coming for?” she said,runescape money, letting fall the hand with
which she had grasped the door post. And irrepressible delight and eagerness shone in her face.
“What am I coming for?” he repeated, looking straight into her eyes. “You know that I have come
to be where you are,” he said; “I can’t help it.”
At that moment the wind, as it were, surmounting all obstacles, sent the snow flying from the
carriage roofs, and clanked some sheet of iron it had torn off, while the hoarse whistle of the
engine roared in front, plaintively and gloomily. All the awfulness of the storm seemed to her
more splendid now. He had said what her soul longed to hear, though she feared it with her

he feels that all the misery comes from his fault. But how am I to forgive him, how am I to be his
wife again after her? For me to live with him now would be torture, just because I love my past
love for him…”
And sobs cut short her words. But as though of set design, each time she was softened she began
to speak again of what exasperated her.
“She’s young, you see, she’s pretty,” she went on. “Do you know, Anna, my youth and my beauty
are gone, taken by whom? By him and his children. I have worked for him, and all I had has gone
in his service, and now of course any fresh, vulgar creature has more charm for him. No doubt
they talked of me together, or, worse still, they were silent. Do you understand?”
Again her eyes glowed with hatred.
“And after that he will tell me…. What! can I believe him? Never! No, everything is over,
everything that once made my comfort, the reward of my work, and my sufferings…. Would you
believe it, I was teaching Grisha just now: once this was a joy to me, now it is a torture. What have
?54 312 621 3
I to strive and toil for? Why are the children here? What’s so awful is that all at once my heart’s
turned, and instead of love and tenderness, I have nothing but hatred for him; yes, hatred. I could
kill him.”
“Darling Dolly,runescape money, I understand, but don’t torture yourself. You are so distressed, so overwrought,
that you look at many things mistakenly.”
Dolly grew calmer, and for two minutes both were silent.
“What’s to be done? Think for me, Anna, help me. I have thought over everything,world of warcraft gold, and I see
nothing.”
Anna could think of nothing, but her heart responded instantly to each word, to each change of
expression of her sister-in-law.
“One thing I would say,” began Anna. “I am his sister, I know his character, that faculty of
forgetting everything, everything” (she waved her hand before her forehead), “that faculty for
being completely carried away, but for completely repenting too. He cannot believe it, he cannot
comprehend now how he can have acted as he did.”
“No; he understands, he understood!” Dolly broke in. “But I…you are forgetting me…does it make
it easier for me?”
“Wait a minute. When he told me, I will own I did not realize all the awfulness of your position. I
saw nothing but him, and that the family was broken up. I felt sorry for him, but after talking to
you, I see it, as a woman,runescape power leveling, quite differently. I see your agony, and I can’t tell you how sorry I am
for you! But, Dolly,wow gold, darling, I fully realize your sufferings, only there is one thing I don’t know; I

Oblonsky and Vronsky had both seen the mutilated corpse. Oblonsky was evidently upset. He
frowned and seemed ready to cry.
“Ah, how awful! Ah, Anna,cheap tales of pirates money, if you had seen it! Ah, how awful!” he said.
Vronsky did not speak; his handsome face was serious, but perfectly composed.
“Oh, if you had seen it, countess,” said Stepan Arkadyevitch. “And his wife was there…. It was
awful to see her!…. She flung herself on the body. They say he was the only support of an
immense family. How awful!”
“Couldn’t one do anything for her?” said Madame Karenina in an agitated whisper.
Vronsky glanced at her,warcraft gold, and immediately got out of the carriage.
“I’ll be back directly, maman,” he remarked, turning round in the doorway.
When he came back a few minutes later,cheap ro zeny, Stepan Arkadyevitch was already in conversation with
the countess about the new singer, while the countess was impatiently looking towards the door,
waiting for her son.
“Now let us be off,” said Vronsky, coming in. They went out together. Vronsky was in front with
his mother. Behind walked Madame Karenina with her brother. Just as they were going out of the
station the station-master overtook Vronsky.
“You gave my assistant two hundred roubles. Would you kindly explain for whose benefit you
intend them?”
“For the widow,” said Vronsky,runescape money, shrugging his shoulders. “I should have thought there was no need
to ask.”
“You gave that?” cried Oblonsky, behind, and, pressing his sister’s hand, he added: “Very nice,
very nice! Isn’t he a splendid fellow? Good-bye, countess.”
And he and his sister stood still, looking for her maid.
When they went out the Vronsky’s carriage had already driven away. People coming in were still
talking of what happened.
“What a horrible death!” said a gentleman, passing by. “They say he was cut in two pieces.”
“On the contrary, I think it’s the easiest–instantaneous,” observed another.
“How is it they don’t take proper precautions?” said a third.
Madame Karenina seated herself in the carriage, and Stepan Arkadyevitch saw with surprise that
her lips were quivering, and she was with difficulty restraining her tears.
“What is it, Anna?” he asked, when they had driven a few hundred yards.
“It’s an omen of evil,” she said.
“What nonsense!” said Stepan Arkadyevitch. “You’ve come, that’s the chief thing. You can’t
conceive how I’m resting my hopes on you.”
?51 312 621 3

She flushed,cheap tales of pirates money, bent down slightly, and put her cheek to the countess’s lips, drew herself up again,
and with the same smile fluttering between her lips and her eyes, she gave her hand to Vronsky.
He pressed the little hand she gave him, and was delighted, as though at something special, by the
energetic squeeze with which she freely and vigorously shook his hand. She went out with the
rapid step which bore her rather fully-developed figure with such strange lightness.
“Very charming,” said the countess.
That was just what her son was thinking. His eyes followed her till her graceful figure was out of
sight, and then the smile remained on his face. He saw out of the window how she went up to her
brother, put her arm in his, and began telling him something eagerly,ro zeny, obviously something that had
nothing to do with him, Vronsky, and at that he felt annoyed.
“Well, maman, are you perfectly well?” he repeated, turning to his mother.
“Everything has been delightful. Alexander has been very good, and Marie has grown very pretty.
She’s very interesting.”
And she began telling him again of what interested her most–the christening of her grandson, for
which she had been staying in Petersburg, and the special favor shown her elder son by the Tsar.
“Here’s Lavrenty,” said Vronsky, looking out of the window; “now we can go, if you like.”
The old butler who had traveled with the countess, came to the carriage to announce that
everything was ready, and the countess got up to go.
“Come; there’s not such a crowd now,runescape money,” said Vronsky.
The maid took a handbag and the lap dog, the butler and a porter the other baggage. Vronsky gave
his mother his arm; but just as they were getting out of the carriage several men ran suddenly by
with panic-stricken faces. The station-master, too, ran by in his extraordinary colored cap.
Obviously something unusual had happened. The crowd who had left the train were running back
again.
“What?… What?… Where?… Flung himself!… Crushed!…” was heard among the crowd. Stepan
Arkadyevitch,ragnarok online zeny, with his sister on his arm, turned back. They too looked scared, and stopped at the
carriage door to avoid the crowd.
The ladies go in, while Vronsky and Stepan Arkadyevitch followed the crowd to find out details
of the disaster.
?50 312 621 3
A guard, either dunk or too much muffled up in the bitter frost, had not heard the train moving
back, and had been crushed.
Before Vronsky and Oblonsky came back the ladies heard the facts from the butler.

“Give us another bottle,” Stepan Arkadyevitch directed the Tatar, who was filling up their glasses
and fidgeting round them just when he was not wanted.
“Why you ought to know Vronsky is that he’s one of your rivals.”
“Who’s Vronsky?” said Levin, and his face was suddenly transformed from the look of childlike
ecstasy which Oblonsky had just been admiring to an angry and unpleasant expression.
“Vronsky is one of the sons of Count Kirill Ivanovitch Vronsky, and one of the finest specimens
of the gilded youth of Petersburg. I made his acquaintance in Tver when I was there on official
business, and he came there for the levy of recruits. Fearfully rich, handsome, great connections,
an aide-de-camp, and with all that a very nice, good-natured fellow. But he’s more than simply a
good-natured fellow, as I’ve found out here–he’s a cultivated man, too, and very intelligent; he’s a
man who’ll make his mark.”
Levin scowled and was dumb.
“Well, he turned up here soon after you’d gone, and as I can see, he’s over head and ears in love
with Kitty,aion kina, and you know that her mother…”
“Excuse me, but I know nothing,” said Levin,runescape power leveling, frowning gloomily. And immediately he recollected
his brother Nikolay and how hateful he was to have been able to forget him.
“You wait a bit, wait a bit,” said Stepan Arkadyevitch, smiling and touching his hand. “I’ve told
you what I know, and I repeat that in this delicate and tender matter, as far as one can conjecture, I
believe the chances are in your favor.”
Levin dropped back in his chair; his face was pale.
“But I would advise you to settle the thing as soon as may be,” pursued Oblonsky, filling up his
glass.
“No, thanks, I can’t drink any more,” said Levin, pushing away his glass. “I shall be drunk….
Come,rs money, tell me how are you getting on?” he went on, obviously anxious to change the
conversation.
“One word more: in any case I advise you to settle the question soon. Tonight I don’t advise you to
speak,” said Stepan Arkadyevitch. “Go round tomorrow morning, make an offer in due form, and
God bless you…”
“Oh, do you still think of coming to me for some shooting? Come next spring, do,” said Levin.
Now his whole soul was full of remorse that he had begun this conversation with Stepan
Arkadyevitch. A feeling such as his was prefaced by talk of the rivalry of some Petersburg officer,
of the suppositions and the counsels of Stepan Arkadyevitch.
Stepan Arkadyevitch smiled. He knew what was passing in Levin’s soul.
“I’ll come some day,” he said. “But women, my boy, they’re the pivot everything turns upon.
Things are in a bad way with me, very bad. And it’s all through women. Tell me frankly now,” he
pursued, picking up a cigar and keeping one hand on his glass; “give me your advice.”
“Why, what is it?”
“I’ll tell you. Suppose you’re married,runescape money, you love your wife, but you’re fascinated by another
woman…”
?32 312 621 3

“It’s not only that she likes you–she says that Kitty is certain to be your wife.”
At these words Levin’s face suddenly lighted up with a smile, a smile not far from tears of
emotion.
“She says that!” cried Levin. “I always said she was exquisite,cheap runescape gold, your wife. There, that’s enough,
enough said about it,” he said, getting up from his seat.
“All right,aion kinah, but do sit down.”
But Levin could not sit down. He walked with his firm tread twice up and down the little cage of a
room, blinked his eyelids that his tears might not fall, and only then sat down to the table.
“You must understand,” said he,runescape money, “it’s not love. I’ve been in love, but it’s not that. It’s not my
feeling, but a sort of force outside me has taken possession of me. I went away, you see, because I
made up my mind that it could never be, you understand, as a happiness that does not come on
earth; but I’ve struggled with myself, I see there’s no living without it. And it must be settled.”
“What did you go away for?”
“Ah, stop a minute! Ah, the thoughts that come crowding on one! The questions one must ask
oneself! Listen. You can’t imagine what you’ve done for me by what you said. I’m so happy that
I’ve become positively hateful; I’ve forgotten everything. I heard today that my brother
Nikolay…you know,flyff money, he’s here…I had even forgotten him. It seems to me that he’s happy too. It’s a
sort of madness. But one thing’s awful…. Here, you’ve been married, you know the feeling…it’s
awful that we–old–with a past… not of love, but of sins…are brought all at once so near to a
creature pure and innocent; it’s loathsome, and that’s why one can’t help feeling oneself unworthy.”
“Oh, well, you’ve not many sins on your conscience.”
“Alas! all the same,” said Levin, “when with loathing I go over my life, I shudder and curse and
bitterly regret it…. Yes.”
“What would you have? The world’s made so,” said Stepan Arkadyevitch.
“The one comfort is like that prayer, which I always liked: ‘Forgive me not according to my
unworthiness, but according to Thy lovingkindness.’ That’s the only way she can forgive me.”
Chapter 11
Levin emptied his glass, and they were silent for a while.
“There’s one other thing I ought to tell you. Do you know Vronsky?” Stepan Arkadyevitch asked
Levin.
“No, I don’t. Why do you ask?”
?31 312 621 3
