Anna Karenina

‘If you go to Moscow, I will go too. I will not stay
here. Either we must separate or else live together.’
‘Why, you know, that’s my one desire. But for that..’
‘We must get a divorce. I will write to him. I see I

cannot go on like this.... But I will come with you to
Moscow.’
‘You talk as if you were threatening me. But I desire
nothing so much as never to be parted from you,’ said
Vronsky, smiling.
But as he said these words there gleamed in his eyes not
merely a cold look, but the vindictive look of a man
persecuted and made cruel.
She saw the look and correctly divined its meaning.
‘If so, it’s a calamity!’ that glance told her. It was a
moment’s impression, but she never forgot it.
Anna wrote to her husband asking him about a divorce,
and towards the end of November, taking leave of
Princess Varvara, who wanted to go to Petersburg, she
went with Vronsky to Moscow. Expecting every day an
answer from Alexey Alexandrovitch, and after that the
divorce, they now established themselves together like
married people.
