A Noble Marriage - Chapter 110

What’s the purpose of this chapter

Vorensky indicated with his lips the direction of his sister’s departure, and then he shrugged: “it’s not a big deal, is it?”

Even though he said so, there were some young people’s postures. To be honest, it was only half a year ago that Wollensky entered this circle. After he turned 12, his sister thought that he could look at him with a mature look.

Vorensky was eager to be recognized, so even if something in the circle had surprised him at first, he would now tell himself that it was no big deal. Everyone will go through it. It is a sad thing for a beautiful woman with money and status if only her husband loves her.

A single woman needs to be reserved, but once married, a lot of love will not damage her reputation, and universal love will make her very attractive in the society. Wollensky’s mother was like this when she was young, but now they are just gradually accepting and loving the laws of the society.

Anna understood what vorensky meant, and she was a little surprised. But combined with vorensky’s unconcerned gaze at the moment, she didn’t argue about anything, just a smile of indifference and apology.

Vorensky looked at her suspiciously.

“Would you like some cake?” Anna asked.

Her performance was so sincere that it was almost impossible to feel the intention hidden in it, so she only received an angry look.

“No, thank you. I’m not a child anymore Said Wollensky stiffly.

He rolled up a wrinkled expression, because he didn’t want to show unpleasant emotions, which is immature, but can’t do it completely. So he decided to leave Anna’s side so that he could be more comfortable and not be emotional like a baby.

Anna watched the boy leave and joined the Duchess of miyakhenki’s conversation. She took another look at the direction of sister Wollensky’s departure. Finally, she blinked and ate a cookie herself.

At 3:30, an unusual person came to their tea party.

“You are a rare visitor.” Said Betsy with a smile, her charming eyes always like to be used on all people, although she thought that Karenin was boring and tight, she did not intend to skip him.

Karenin gave the Duchess of petsey a kiss on the back of her hand.

He didn’t like the frivolous lady, but he had to admire her social skills. There’s no need to show your preferences.

Karenin straightened up. He swept the room politely and quickly caught his wife’s position in that short time. The latter’s big eyes were looking at him in some surprise.

Karenin did not intend to smile. What he intended to show was a social smirk, but when his eyes touched his little wife, he could not help becoming sincere.

“Your rembreyer seems to have been a great success, and I think next time you will be the best tea hostess in Petersburg.” He cocked his lips and complimented Betsy, but his eyes still fell on his wife.

Betsy chuckled.

She likes to receive compliments, especially on such things as clothes, beauty, and tea parties. But she was not like a 14-year-old girl who went to the dance for the first time. She was moved by a word of praise or encouragement. She swore that the person in front of her must be the best and most lovely person in the world.

“Come on, sit down with your wife and talk to us.” Said Betsy affectionately that she was such a good master, taking full care of the newly married couple.

“How did you get here?” Anna asked in a low voice after Karenin sat down. Although her voice was small, she could still feel the joy in it.

“Everything in the Department was dealt with early.” Karenin replied, then turned to the ambassador’s wife and talked to her.

Anna bit her husband’s lips a little bit closer to her.

Karenin felt his wife approaching him and, out of politeness, moved aside. But before long, his wife came closer to him.

So Karenin had to stop talking for a moment and take a look at his wife and ask if she had anything to do. The latter just opened his twinkling eyes and laughed contentedly at him.

Karenin turned his eyes, this time no longer foolishly thought that his wife felt crowded, so he moved to the side. Although, logically, he didn’t think it was meaningful at all, his wife clearly liked the narrow, crowded distance.

If they were not still in front of a large number of people, Anna felt that she could not help but kiss Karenin.

Of course, if your husband changed his schedule for more than ten years for you, wouldn’t you feel honored?

If she put her hand on Karenin’s arm at this time, it would be too sticky, so Anna could only suppress this impulse and express her joy by constantly approaching each other.”I went to the dressing room and then we got a new partner, didn’t we?”

Wollensky’s sister came back, her hair and skirt were not disordered at all, but the blush on her face was deeper, her eyes were still bright, and she looked like a flower, with a different brilliance.

“Yes.” Petsy agreed, sweetly, as she introduced Karenin to vorensky’s sister.

Karenin had a few words with vorensky’s sister, and the Duchess of miyakhki had mentioned a bill which they were talking about at this time.

The Duchess of miyakki had no intention of talking about such a serious matter, and in fact, she didn’t care much, but she liked Anna and was happy to talk to her husband about something the latter liked.

They exchanged views.

Karenin knew what they wanted to hear, like Duchess miyakki. He liked politics, bills. Talking about these was exactly what he liked, but he also understood that he was dealing with some ladies. If he comes by his own temperament, the conversation will either end up unhappy or embarrassed because it is boring. So he moved out of that set of words, cleverly perfunctory to each other.

They sat for another half an hour, when it would be impolite to say goodbye. Karenin privately asked Anna if she wanted to go back together. Anna gave him a positive answer.

Karenin said goodbye to the hostess.

“Won’t you stay for dinner?” Asked Betsy, looking as if he was trying to keep them.

Just as Karenin was about to offer a good excuse in his mind to refuse politely, vorensky’s sister said it for them.

“Oh, Betsy, don’t forget that they are newlyweds, not like us.” Said Wollensky’s sister, in a different way, who still seemed to be in high spirits.

Betsy laughed, too. She exchanged a look with vorensky’s sister that only they understood. Then she turned to Anna and Karenin.

“I look forward to having dinner with you next time.”

Karenin once again kisses Betsy on the back of his hand, which makes Anna take his arm and leave together.

The coachman of Karenin’s house was waiting at the door, the grey horse wagged its tail, and the Tatars opened the door for them.

As the carriage began to move towards home, Anna looked at Karenin for a moment, and the latter asked her.

“In fact, I have an unusual idea to tell you.”

The man put on the posture and expression of listening attentively.

“I didn’t realize it was going to be a problem, but I found out today that maybe I should make myself clear first,” Anna said after caressing the folds of her skirt with her hands. Even if most people think it’s ridiculous and inappropriate, I want to tell you

“Alexis, I don’t want a third person in our marriage.”

Anna saw Karenin blink her eyes slowly, and she sighed gently.

“I know it’s not to blame for most people, but…”

Anna did not finish, her words were gently interrupted by Karenin.

“If you mean what you saw today from the Duchess of pettesey, Anna, I have to make my point again. Even if this is the case in this society, some customs will not be publicly criticized, and even some people secretly praise it. I have no intention of criticizing them. All I can do is to abide by my own principles and beliefs. As I have always believed in the sanctity of marriage, once combined, there should be no force to separate a couple except death. ”

Karenin stopped for a moment. His blue eyes were so focused that they reflected two little ones. There was nothing else.

His words are calm and organized, and his eyes are calm and authoritative.

“Maybe you have some misunderstanding before, and I think that since you are quite concerned about this issue, I’d better make it clear to you completely.”

“What I mean by death and separation at this moment is not only the death of the body, but also the highest will of man.”

“If you have any questions about our relationship and feelings at this moment, or don’t like it, you can tell me now. If this moment passes, Anna, I will not accept any amendment or appeal

The basic reason why this kind of women are popular is that ordinary people can’t get it, but Anna knows that she has been mixed up in this kind of women since she was 12 years old. There is no lack of lovely and intelligent excellent.

If a woman has many affairs and aims at the man’s purse, they will try their best to seduce the man.

And a smart woman, if not careful to lose a heart in who’s body, she is easy not to be found.

“I’ve heard of you before, but I haven’t seen you. Now that I see you, I know that the rumors are not true enough. You are more beautiful and outstanding than the rumors, Mrs. Karenin. ”

Said Madame de Marelle kindly, with such propriety that she perfectly displayed the manner of a beautiful hostess.Some of the men looked away from Anna, and they were completely attracted by the beauty and generosity of Madame de Marelle, as if she were singing.

Anna smiles and greets Madame de Marelle. She pretended to know nothing, and there was no need to tear her face first.

When the men got together to talk about government affairs, Karenin asked Anna if she could be alone.

“What are you worried about? Can she still get lost in our house? ” Madame de malelle took Anna’s hand kindly and laughed at Karenin.

If ordinary men, in the face of such words, there can always be one or two affectionate responses or teasing, but Karenin is such a serious person.

He completely ignored the art of conversation between men and women, but only from the most innocent aspects of interpretation.

“If you look after me, I don’t have to worry about these problems.”

Anna snickered a smile in her heart. This time she was not going to tell Karenin the truth.

“Come on, Mrs. Karenin. Many ladies want to see you.” Said Madame de Marelle in an elegant tone, and she had naturally let go of Anna’s hand, and had returned to a dignified and friendly manner.

Anna thought to herself, what do these people see me for? I’m not a monkey in the zoo, but I have a curious smile on my face.

Lederer is surrounded in the middle by Madame Marder. But she didn’t know these ladies at all, and the result was that she became a monkey, and Madame de Marelle became a star studded commentator.

It’s not that no one paid attention to her, but Anna couldn’t answer all the questions asked by the ladies. Like the scenery of Petersburg, the banquets, the drama.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Karenin. I forgot that you didn’t get married very long.” Said a lady with a pink face, her white breast trembling.

“Mrs. de fernes, I heard from my husband that the most popular play in Petersburg recently is…”

Mrs. de Marelle would always relieve Anna of her embarrassment and become the focus of attention again.

These people thought to themselves, “look, what if you have beauty? She doesn’t know anything. Maybe her rich dowry is just a rumor. There are more families without names and strength these days. On the contrary, our dear Madame de Marelle is beautiful, elegant and knowledgeable. ”

Anna knows what these people are thinking. She feels bored and can’t say anything. After all, she’s not just representing herself now. It’s irresponsible to leave willfully.

She pretended to listen carefully to these talks and looked at Karenin through tea, but she did not find her husband.

“Sorry, I have to go to the dressing room.” Madame de Marelle stopped talking, saying somewhat apologetically.

“Is there anyone else to come with me?”

“Yes, I’m going to the dressing room, too.” A full-bodied young woman also said that she was wearing an excessively gorgeous dress, but to be honest, it was terrible. Look at the freckles that could not be covered. Under the impression of the fragrant gold silk neckline, it was like wheat that had just taken off its shell.

After Madame de Marelle had left for a while, the women’s interest returned to Anna, her dress, to be precise.

“Which tailor did you ask to make it?” Asked a young lady of twenty-eight.

“I made it myself. It used to be a very ordinary velvet dress.” Anna said honestly, and finally a little happy, she likes to talk about clothes, about the small designs, the tailoring, not just the expensive rubles piled up, but obviously she made a taboo.
