Anna Karenina

Levin saw she was unhappy and tried to comfort her,
saying that it showed nothing bad, that all children fight;
but, even as he said it, he was thinking in his heart: ‘No, I
won’t be artificial and talk French with my children; but

my children won’t be like that. All one has to do is not
spoil children, not to distort their nature, and they’ll be
delightful. No, my children won’t be like that.’
He said good-bye and drove away, and she did not try
to keep him.
