---

which is so charmed and delightful,|is growing narrower and narrower,

and it is exciting yet fearful|to go ahead.

I know something about you.|Congratulations. I like him very much.

I travelled with his mother,

and during the whole journey|we boasted of our sons.

- Have you your son's picture?|- Yes, l'II show it to you.

It's absolutely ravishing!|The bow is exquisite.

The rest may be a matter of taste,|but the bow! .

Who could that be at this hour?|Who can that be?

It's too early for my carriage,

and it would be too late|for a visitor.

How do you do.

Good evening.

- What a delightful ball.|- Yes, isn't it?

- Is Lyovin here too?|- Lyovin? I don't know.

l've heard a lot of good things|about him.

Has Anna Arkadyevna really decided|to leave for Petersburg tomorrow?

Yes, I think so.

Bologoye!

- Do you wish to go out for a minute?|- Yes, I want a little air.

- You?|- Can I do anything for you?

I had no idea you were on the train.|Why are you on this train?

To be where you are.

I can't help it.

Forgive me if what l've said|has shocked you, but...

Forget what you've said|as I forget it.

I shall never forget a single word|of yours.

No! Enough! Enough!

ST. PETERSBURG

As you can see, your husband,|as tender as a newlywed,

is burning with a desire to see you.

How is Seryozha? Is he well?

Is this all to reward my ardor?|He's quite well.

- I hope you spent a good night?|- Very good, thank you.

- Count Vronsky.|- We've met, I believe.

You go with the mother and return|with the son. You've been on leave?

I do hope I may have the honour|of calling on you?

We'II be delighted.|We receive on Mondays.

What do they say in Moscow

about the new bill|l've put through the Council?

Let go of me! Mother is here!

Mama!

Seryozha! My little treasure!

I must disappoint you.

He has not missed you|as your husband has.

So fortunate|that I had half an hour

to come to meet you|and show my affection.

I must be off to a Committee|meeting now.

Where did you disappear to?|I expected you for dinner.

I got word from Moscow|that Kitty is seriously ill.

Really?

You behaved wrongly, l've been|wanting to tell you that.

But who is responsible?

Why do you say that to me?

You know why.

I forbid you to speak this way.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to go to Moscow|and beg Kitty's forgiveness.

You... don't really want that.

She's a marvelous actress!

Did you notice how she fell down?|She must have studied Kaulbach.

Show me to Princess Myaghkaya's box.

The best way to know about love is|to make a mistake and then correct it.

- Even after you've married?|- Exactly.

Karenina is quite changed|ever since her trip to Moscow.
