Anna Karenina

‘Oh, when are you going?’
But again not answering, Anna turned to Kitty.
‘Yes, I am very glad to have seen you,’ she said with a
smile. ‘I have heard so much of you from everyone, even

from your husband. He came to see me, and I liked him
exceedingly,’ she said, unmistakably with malicious intent.
‘Where is he?’
‘He has gone back to the country,’ said Kitty, blushing.
‘Remember me to him, be sure you do.’
‘I’ll be sure to!’ Kitty said naively, looking
compassionately into her eyes.
‘So good-bye, Dolly.’ And kissing Dolly and shaking
hands with Kitty, Anna went out hurriedly.
‘She’s just the same and just as charming! She’s very
lovely!’ said Kitty, when she was alone with her sister.
‘But there’s something piteous about her. Awfully
piteous!’
‘Yes, there’s something unusual about her today,’ said
Dolly. ‘When I went with her into the hall, I fancied she
was almost crying.’
