Afterwards
,
on
a
day
fixed
beforehand
,
the
expected
offer
was
made
to
her
parents
,
and
accepted
.
All
had
passed
very
simply
and
easily
.
So
it
seemed
,
at
least
,
to
the
princess
.
But
over
her
own
daughters
she
had
felt
how
far
from
simple
and
easy
is
the
business
,
apparently
so
commonplace
,
of
marrying
off
one
’
s
daughters
.
The
panics
that
had
been
lived
through
,
the
thoughts
that
had
been
brooded
over
,
the
money
that
had
been
wasted
,
and
the
disputes
with
her
husband
over
marrying
the
two
elder
girls
,
Darya
and
Natalia
!
Now
,
since
the
youngest
had
come
out
,
she
was
going
through
the
same
terrors
,
the
same
doubts
,
and
still
more
violent
quarrels
with
her
husband
than
she
had
over
the
elder
girls
.
The
old
prince
,
like
all
fathers
indeed
,
was
exceedingly
punctilious
on
the
score
of
the
honor
and
reputation
of
his
daughters
.
He
was
irrationally
jealous
over
his
daughters
,
especially
over
Kitty
,
who
was
his
favorite
.
At
every
turn
he
had
scenes
with
the
princess
for
compromising
her
daughter
.
The
princess
had
grown
accustomed
to
this
already
with
her
other
daughters
,
but
now
she
felt
that
there
was
more
ground
for
the
prince
’
s
touchiness
.
She
saw
that
of
late
years
much
was
changed
in
the
manners
of
society
,
that
a
mother
’
s
duties
had
become
still
more
difficult
.
She
saw
that
girls
of
Kitty
’
s
age
formed
some
sort
of
clubs
,
went
to
some
sort
of
lectures
,
mixed
freely
in
men
’
s
society
;
drove
about
the
streets
alone
,
many
of
them
did
not
curtsey
,
and
,
what
was
the
most
important
thing
,
all
the
girls
were
firmly
convinced
that
to
choose
their
husbands
was
their
own
affair
,
and
not
their
parents
’
.
“
Marriages
aren
’
t
made
nowadays
as
they
used
to
be
,
”
was
thought
and
said
by
all
these
young
girls
,
and
even
by
their
elders
.
But
how
marriages
were
made
now
,
the
princess
could
not
learn
from
anyone
.
The
French
fashion
—
of
the
parents
arranging
their
children
’
s
future
—
was
not
accepted
;
it
was
condemned
.
The
English
fashion
of
the
complete
independence
of
girls
was
also
not
accepted
,
and
not
possible
in
Russian
society
.
The
Russian
fashion
of
matchmaking
by
the
offices
of
intermediate
persons
was
for
some
reason
considered
unseemly
;
it
was
ridiculed
by
everyone
,
and
by
the
princess
herself
.
But
how
girls
were
to
be
married
,
and
how
parents
were
to
marry
them
,
no
one
knew
.
Everyone
with
whom
the
princess
had
chanced
to
discuss
the
matter
said
the
same
thing
:
“
Mercy
on
us
,
it
’
s
high
time
in
our
day
to
cast
off
all
that
old
-
fashioned
business
.
It
’
s
the
young
people
have
to
marry
;
and
not
their
parents
;
and
so
we
ought
to
leave
the
young
people
to
arrange
it
as
they
choose
.
”
It
was
very
easy
for
anyone
to
say
that
who
had
no
daughters
,
but
the
princess
realized
that
in
the
process
of
getting
to
know
each
other
,
her
daughter
might
fall
in
love
,
and
fall
in
love
with
someone
who
did
not
care
to
marry
her
or
who
was
quite
unfit
to
be
her
husband
.
And
,
however
much
it
was
instilled
into
the
princess
that
in
our
times
young
people
ought
to
arrange
their
lives
for
themselves
,
she
was
unable
to
believe
it
,
just
as
she
would
have
been
unable
to
believe
that
,
at
any
time
whatever
,
the
most
suitable
playthings
for
children
five
years
old
ought
to
be
loaded
pistols
.
And
so
the
princess
was
more
uneasy
over
Kitty
than
she
had
been
over
her
elder
sisters
.
Now
she
was
afraid
that
Vronsky
might
confine
himself
to
simply
flirting
with
her
daughter
.
She
saw
that
her
daughter
was
in
love
with
him
,
but
tried
to
comfort
herself
with
the
thought
that
he
was
an
honorable
man
,
and
would
not
do
this
.
But
at
the
same
time
she
knew
how
easy
it
is
,
with
the
freedom
of
manners
of
today
,
to
turn
a
girl
’
s
head
,
and
how
lightly
men
generally
regard
such
a
crime
.
The
week
before
,
Kitty
had
told
her
mother
of
a
conversation
she
had
with
Vronsky
during
a
mazurka
.
This
conversation
had
partly
reassured
the
princess
;
but
perfectly
at
ease
she
could
not
be
.
Vronsky
had
told
Kitty
that
both
he
and
his
brother
were
so
used
to
obeying
their
mother
that
they
never
made
up
their
minds
to
any
important
undertaking
without
consulting
her
.
“
And
just
now
,
I
am
impatiently
awaiting
my
mother
’
s
arrival
from
Petersburg
,
as
peculiarly
fortunate
,
”
he
told
her
.
Kitty
had
repeated
this
without
attaching
any
significance
to
the
words
.
But
her
mother
saw
them
in
a
different
light
.
She
knew
that
the
old
lady
was
expected
from
day
to
day
,
that
she
would
be
pleased
at
her
son
’
s
choice
,
and
she
felt
it
strange
that
he
should
not
make
his
offer
through
fear
of
vexing
his
mother
.
However
,
she
was
so
anxious
for
the
marriage
itself
,
and
still
more
for
relief
from
her
fears
,
that
she
believed
it
was
so
.
Bitter
as
it
was
for
the
princess
to
see
the
unhappiness
of
her
eldest
daughter
,
Dolly
,
on
the
point
of
leaving
her
husband
,
her
anxiety
over
the
decision
of
her
youngest
daughter
’
s
fate
engrossed
all
her
feelings
Today
,
with
Levin
’
s
reappearance
,
a
fresh
source
of
anxiety
arose
.
She
was
afraid
that
her
daughter
,
who
had
at
one
time
,
as
she
fancied
,
a
feeling
for
Levin
,
might
,
from
extreme
sense
of
honor
,
refuse
Vronsky
,
and
that
Levin
’
s
arrival
might
generally
complicate
and
delay
the
affair
so
near
being
concluded
.
“
Why
,
has
he
been
here
long
?
”
the
princess
asked
about
Levin
,
as
they
returned
home
.
“
He
came
today
,
mamma
.
”
“
There
’
s
one
thing
I
want
to
say
.
.
.
.
”
began
the
princess
,
and
from
her
serious
and
alert
face
,
Kitty
guessed
what
it
would
be
.
“
Mamma
,
”
she
said
,
flushing
hotly
and
turning
quickly
to
her
,
“
please
,
please
don
’
t
say
anything
about
that
.
I
know
,
I
know
all
about
it
.
”
