Dear Lydia lvanovna,
:20:10
Forgive me for
reminding you of myself.
:20:12
Count Vronsky and I are
returning to St. Petersburg.
:20:16
I am unhappy at
being parted from my son.
:20:19
I beg to be allowed
to see him.
:20:21
Will you send Seriozha to me, or should
I come to the house at some fixed hour?
:20:26
You cannot conceive
the yearning I have to see him
:20:29
and so can not conceive the gratitude
your help will arouse in me.
:20:33
Anna.
:20:35
I don't think
I can refuse her.
:20:37
My dear friend,
You never see evil in anybody..
:20:42
Her love for her son
exacts...
:20:44
But is it love?
:20:46
My friend,
is it sincere?
:20:50
Have we the right to toy with the
feelings of that little angel?
:20:53
He thinks she's dead,
:20:55
and he prays for her
:20:57
and besieges God
have mercy on her sins,
:21:00
and it is...
:21:02
better.
:21:07
Madame,
:21:09
to remind
your son of yous
:21:12
Might lead to questions on his part
which it would be impossible to answer.
:21:16
I beg you to interpret
your husband's refusal
:21:18
in the spirit
of Christian love.
:21:36
I am here to tell you that I look upon my
union with Madame Karenina as marriage.
:21:41
If you wish to be on good terms with me
then you must be on good terms with her.
:21:47
Our intimate friends
:21:49
can and must look at it
in the proper light.
:21:52
I for one am so glad
you are back.
:21:55
I can imagine how horrible our
Petersburg must seem to you
:21:58
after your
delightful travels.
