Part 6. Chapter 15. Parte 6. Capítulo 15.

After escorting his wife upstairs, Levin went to Dolly's part of the house. Darya Alexandrovna, for her part, was in great distress too that day. She was walking about the room, talking angrily to a little girl, who stood in the corner roaring. Elle se promenait dans la pièce, parlant avec colère à une petite fille, qui se tenait dans le coin en rugissant.

"And you shall stand all day in the corner, and have your dinner all alone, and not see one of your dolls, and I won't make you a new frock," she said, not knowing how to punish her. "Oh, she is a disgusting child!" she turned to Levin. "Where does she get such wicked propensities?" «D'où trouve-t-elle de si mauvaises tendances? "Why, what has she done?" Levin said without much interest, for he had wanted to ask her advice, and so was annoyed that he had come at an unlucky moment.

"Grisha and she went into the raspberries, and there…I can't tell you really what she did. It's a thousand pities Miss Elliot's not with us. This one sees to nothing—she's a machine…. Celle-ci ne voit rien - c'est une machine…. Figurez-vous que la petite ?…" And Darya Alexandrovna described Masha's crime. "That proves nothing; it's not a question of evil propensities at all, it's simply mischief," Levin assured her. "But you are upset about something? What have you come for?" asked Dolly. "What's going on there?" And in the tone of her question Levin heard that it would be easy for him to say what he had meant to say.

"I've not been in there, I've been alone in the garden with Kitty. We've had a quarrel for the second time since…Stiva came." Dolly looked at him with her shrewd, comprehending eyes. Dolly le regarda de ses yeux rusés et compréhensifs.

"Come, tell me, honor bright, has there been…not in Kitty, but in that gentleman's behavior, a tone which might be unpleasant— not unpleasant, but horrible, offensive to a husband?" «Allez, dis-moi, honneur brillant, y a-t-il eu… pas dans Kitty, mais dans le comportement de ce monsieur, un ton qui pourrait être désagréable - pas désagréable, mais horrible, offensant pour un mari? "You mean, how shall I say…. Stay, stay in the corner!" she said to Masha, who, detecting a faint smile in her mother's face, had been turning round. "The opinion of the world would be that he is behaving as young men do behave. Il fait la cour à une jeune et jolie femme , and a husband who's a man of the world should only be flattered by it." "Yes, yes," said Levin gloomily; "but you noticed it?" "Not only I, but Stiva noticed it. Just after breakfast he said to me in so many words, Je crois que Veslovsky fait un petit brin de cour à Kitty ." 朝食の直後に彼は非常に多くの言葉で私に言った、Je crois que Veslovskyは、プティブリンデクールアキティを偽っています。」 "Well, that's all right then; now I'm satisfied. I'll send him away," said Levin. Je vais le renvoyer, dit Levin. "What do you mean! Are you crazy?" Dolly cried in horror; "nonsense, Kostya, only think!" she said, laughing. "You can go now to Fanny," she said to Masha. "Tu peux aller voir Fanny," dit-elle à Masha. "No, if you wish it, I'll speak to Stiva. He'll take him away. He can say you're expecting visitors. Altogether he doesn't fit into the house." Dans l'ensemble, il ne rentre pas dans la maison. " "No, no, I'll do it myself." "But you'll quarrel with him?" "Not a bit. I shall so enjoy it," Levin said, his eyes flashing with real enjoyment. J'apprécierai tellement ça, »dit Levin, les yeux brillants d'un réel plaisir. "Come, forgive her, Dolly, she won't do it again," he said of the little sinner, who had not gone to Fanny, but was standing irresolutely before her mother, waiting and looking up from under her brows to catch her mother's eye. The mother glanced at her. The child broke into sobs, hid her face on her mother's lap, and Dolly laid her thin, tender hand on her head. "And what is there in common between us and him?" "Et qu'y a-t-il de commun entre nous et lui?" thought Levin, and he went off to look for Veslovsky.

As he passed through the passage he gave orders for the carriage to be got ready to drive to the station.

"The spring was broken yesterday," said the footman. "Le ressort a été cassé hier", a déclaré le valet de pied. "Well, the covered trap, then, and make haste. «Eh bien, le piège couvert, alors, et dépêchez-vous. Where's the visitor?" "The gentleman's gone to his room." Levin came upon Veslovsky at the moment when the latter, having unpacked his things from his trunk, and laid out some new songs, was putting on his gaiters to go out riding. Levin rencontra Veslovsky au moment où celui-ci, après avoir déballé ses affaires de sa malle et posé de nouvelles chansons, enfilait ses guêtres pour sortir à cheval. Levinas pateko į Veslovskį tuo metu, kai pastarasis, išpakavęs daiktus iš bagažinės ir išdėliojęs keletą naujų dainų, užsidėjo getras, kad galėtų važiuoti.

Whether there was something exceptional in Levin's face, or that Vassenka was himself conscious that ce petit brin de cour he was making was out of place in this family, but he was somewhat (as much as a young man in society can be) disconcerted at Levin's entrance. "You ride in gaiters?" "Yes, it's much cleaner," said Vassenka, putting his fat leg on a chair, fastening the bottom hook, and smiling with simple-hearted good humor. "Oui, c'est beaucoup plus propre", dit Vassenka, posant sa grosse jambe sur une chaise, fermant le crochet du bas et souriant avec une bonne humeur simple. He was undoubtedly a good-natured fellow, and Levin felt sorry for him and ashamed of himself, as his host, when he saw the shy look on Vassenka's face. On the table lay a piece of stick which they had broken together that morning, trying their strength. Sur la table gisait un morceau de bâton qu'ils avaient brisé ce matin-là, essayant leur force. Levin took the fragment in his hands and began smashing it up, breaking bits off the stick, not knowing how to begin. Levin prit le fragment dans ses mains et commença à l'écraser, cassant des morceaux du bâton, ne sachant pas par où commencer.

"I wanted…." He paused, but suddenly, remembering Kitty and everything that had happened, he said, looking him resolutely in the face: "I have ordered the horses to be put-to for you." "How so?" Vassenka began in surprise. "To drive where?" "For you to drive to the station," Levin said gloomily. "Are you going away, or has something happened?" "It happens that I expect visitors," said Levin, his strong fingers more and more rapidly breaking off the ends of the split stick. "And I'm not expecting visitors, and nothing has happened, but I beg you to go away. You can explain my rudeness as you like." Vassenka drew himself up. Vassenka se redressa.

"I beg you to explain…" he said with dignity, understanding at last. "I can't explain," Levin said softly and deliberately, trying to control the trembling of his jaw; "and you'd better not ask." And as the split ends were all broken off, Levin clutched the thick ends in his finger, broke the stick in two, and carefully caught the end as it fell. Et comme les pointes fourchues étaient toutes cassées, Levin agrippa les extrémités épaisses dans son doigt, cassa le bâton en deux et attrapa soigneusement l'extrémité en tombant.

Probably the sight of those nervous fingers, of the muscles he had proved that morning at gymnastics, of the glittering eyes, the soft voice, and quivering jaws, convinced Vassenka better than any words. He bowed, shrugging his shoulders, and smiling contemptuously.

"Can I not see Oblonsky?" The shrug and the smile did not irritate Levin.

"What else was there for him to do?" «Qu'y avait-il d'autre à faire pour lui? he thought.

"I'll send him to you at once." - Aš tuojau pasiųsiu jį pas jus. "What madness is this?" Stepan Arkadyevitch said when, after hearing from his friend that he was being turned out of the house, he found Levin in the garden, where he was walking about waiting for his guest's departure. " Stepan Arkadyevitch a déclaré que lorsque, après avoir entendu de son ami qu'il était expulsé de la maison, il a trouvé Levin dans le jardin, où il se promenait en attendant le départ de son invité. " Mais c'est ridicule! What fly has stung you? Quelle mouche vous a piqué? Mais c'est du dernier ridicule! What did you think, if a young man…" But the place where Levin had been stung was evidently still sore, for he turned pale again, when Stepan Arkadyevitch would have enlarged on the reason, and he himself cut him short. Mais l'endroit où Levin avait été piqué était évidemment encore douloureux, car il pâlit de nouveau, quand Stepan Arkadyevitch aurait développé la raison, et lui-même lui coupa court.

"Please don't go into it! „Prašau nesigilinti! I can't help it. I feel ashamed of how I'm treating you and him. But it won't be, I imagine, a great grief to him to go, and his presence was distasteful to me and to my wife." Bet aš įsivaizduoju, kad tai nebus didelis sielvartas jam eiti, o jo buvimas man ir mano žmonai buvo neskanus “. "But it's insulting to him! Et puis c'est ridicule ." "And to me it's both insulting and distressing! «Et pour moi, c'est à la fois insultant et angoissant! And I'm not at fault in any way, and there's no need for me to suffer." "Well, this I didn't expect of you! „Na, šito aš iš jūsų nesitikėjau! On peut être jaloux, mais à ce point, c'est du dernier ridicule! " プート・シュトレ・ジャロウ、マイス・ア・セ・ポイント、c'est du dernier ridicule！ 」 Levin turned quickly, and walked away from him into the depths of the avenue, and he went on walking up and down alone. Soon he heard the rumble of the trap, and saw from behind the trees how Vassenka, sitting in the hay (unluckily there was no seat in the trap) in his Scotch cap, was driven along the avenue, jolting up and down over the ruts. Bientôt, il entendit le grondement du piège, et vit de derrière les arbres comment Vassenka, assis dans le foin (malheureusement il n'y avait pas de siège dans le piège) dans sa casquette écossaise, était conduit le long de l'avenue, se précipitant dans les ornières. .

"What's this?" Levin thought, when a footman ran out of the house and stopped the trap. It was the mechanician, whom Levin had totally forgotten. The mechanician, bowing low, said something to Veslovsky, then clambered into the trap, and they drove off together. Le mécanicien, s'inclinant bas, dit quelque chose à Veslovsky, puis grimpa dans le piège et ils partirent ensemble.

Stepan Arkadyevitch and the princess were much upset by Levin's action. Stepan Arkadyevitch et la princesse ont été très bouleversés par l'action de Levin. And he himself felt not only in the highest degree ridicule , but also utterly guilty and disgraced. But remembering what sufferings he and his wife had been through, when he asked himself how he should act another time, he answered that he should do just the same again.

In spite of all this, towards the end of that day, everyone except the princess, who could not pardon Levin's action, became extraordinarily lively and good humored, like children after a punishment or grown-up people after a dreary, ceremonious reception, so that by the evening Vassenka's dismissal was spoken of, in the absence of the princess, as though it were some remote event. Malgré tout cela, vers la fin de cette journée, tout le monde sauf la princesse, qui ne pouvait pas pardonner l'action de Levin, devint extraordinairement vif et de bonne humeur, comme des enfants après une punition ou des adultes après une réception morne et cérémonieuse, alors que le soir on parlait du renvoi de Vassenka, en l'absence de la princesse, comme s'il s'agissait d'un événement lointain. Nepaisant viso to, tos dienos pabaigoje visi, išskyrus princesę, negalėjusios atleisti Levino veiksmų, tapo nepaprastai žvalūs ir gerai nusiteikę, kaip vaikai po bausmės ar suaugę žmonės po niūrio, iškilmingo priėmimo, taigi kad vakare buvo kalbėta apie Vassenkos atleidimą, nesant princesės, tarsi tai būtų koks nors nutolęs įvykis. And Dolly, who had inherited her father's gift of humorous storytelling, made Varenka helpless with laughter as she related for the third and fourth time, always with fresh humorous additions, how she had only just put on her new shoes for the benefit of the visitor, and on going into the drawing room, heard suddenly the rumble of the trap. Et Dolly, qui avait hérité du don de son père en matière de narration humoristique, a rendu Varenka impuissante en riant alors qu'elle racontait pour la troisième et quatrième fois, toujours avec de nouveaux ajouts humoristiques, comment elle venait de mettre ses nouvelles chaussures au profit du visiteur. , et en entrant dans le salon, entendit soudain le grondement du piège. And who should be in the trap but Vassenka himself, with his Scotch cap, and his songs and his gaiters, and all, sitting in the hay.

"If only you'd ordered out the carriage! «Si seulement vous aviez commandé la voiture! But no! and then I hear: 'Stop!' Oh, I thought they've relented. Oh, je pensais qu'ils avaient cédé. O, aš maniau, kad jie nusileido. I look out, and behold a fat German being sat down by him and driving away…. And my new shoes all for nothing!…"
