Anna Karenina

‘To me? Hadn’t the courage? If you knew how I...I
look at..’
Darya Alexandrovna wanted to express her thoughts of
the morning, but for some reason it seemed to her now

out of place to do so.
‘But of that we’ll talk later. What’s this, what are all
these buildings?’ she asked, wanting to change the
conversation and pointing to the red and green roofs that
came into view behind the green hedges of acacia and
lilac. ‘Quite a little town.’
But Anna did not answer.
‘No, no! How do you look at my position, what do
you think of it?’ she asked.
‘I consider...’ Darya Alexandrovna was beginning, but
at that instant Vassenka Veslovsky, having brought the cob
to gallop with the right leg foremost, galloped past them,
bumping heavily up and down in his short jacket on the
chamois leather of the side saddle. ‘He’s doing it, Anna
Arkadyevna!’ he shouted.
Anna did not even glance at him; but again it seemed
to Darya Alexandrovna out of place to enter upon such a
long conversation in the carriage, and so she cut short her
thought.
