:25:01
To me you're nicer than anyone
else in the world.
:25:04
I know I am.
:25:15
On the whole, then, your
visit was a success?
:25:18
I cannot see how a man
like that can be exonerated,
:25:22
even if he is your brother.
:25:25
But I'm glad it all ended satisfactorily
and that you're back again.
:25:28
You wouldn't believe how
irksome it is to dine alone.
:25:32
I missed you, too.
:25:34
Time for bed.
:26:09
Betsy,
:26:11
-I'm beginning to lose hope.
-Whatever hope could you have?
:26:15
None.
:26:18
Excuse me. I'm afraid
I've become ridiculous.
:26:21
Oh, my dear, you're in
no danger of that.
:26:24
A man pursuing a young girl
might be ridiculous,
:26:27
but a man in love
with a married woman,
:26:30
that has something fine
and grand about it.
:26:32
It could never be ridiculous.
Next you'll be telling me
:26:35
that young girls should be
virtuous, women chaste,
:26:38
men virile, and children should be
brought up
:26:41
to pay their debts and earn their
bread and all the other nonsense.
:26:44
But look at them...
:26:47
Karenin,
:26:49
that awful Lydia lvanovna.
:26:51
So old-fashioned,
:26:54
so stuffy.
They surround her.
:26:58
When I am old and ugly,
:26:59
I'll become like them.
