"Well, then, I shall never come."

"Well, then, I shall be married simply for that. Mind now,

remember your promise," said Kitty.

The doctor's prediction was fulfilled. Kitty returned home to

Russia cured. She was not so gay and thoughtless as before, but

she was serene. Her Moscow troubles had become a memory to her.

PART THREE

Chapter 1

Sergey Ivanovitch Koznishev wanted a rest from mental work, and

instead of going abroad as he usually did, he came towards the

end of May to stay in the country with his brother. In his

judgment the best sort of life was a country life. He had come

now to enjoy such a life at his brother's. Konstantin Levin was

very glad to have him, especially as he did not expect his

brother Nikolay that summer. But in spite of his affection and

respect for Sergey Ivanovitch, Konstantin Levin was uncomfortable

with his brother in the country. It made him uncomfortable, and

it positively annoyed him to see his brother's attitude to the

country. To Konstantin Levin the country was the background of

life, that is of pleasures, endeavors, labor. To Sergey

Ivanovitch the country meant on one hand rest from work, on the

other a valuable antidote to the corrupt influences of town,

which he took with satisfaction and a sense of its utility.
