Anna Karenina - LimpidSoft

PART EIGHT CHAPTER 2
“Yes, so I heard.”
A bell sounded. Everyone crowded to the doors. “Here he is!” said the princess,
indicating Vronsky, who with his mother on his arm walked by, wearing a long overcoat
and wide-brimmed black hat. Oblonsky was walking beside him, talking eagerly
of something.
Vronsky was frowning and looking straight before him, as though he did not hear
what Stepan Arkadyevitch was saying.
Probably on Oblonsky’s pointing them out, he looked round in the direction where
the princess and Sergey Ivanovitch were standing, and without speaking lifted his
hat. His face, aged and worn by suffering, looked stony.
Going onto the platform, Vronsky left his mother and disappeared into a compartment.
On the platform there rang out “God save the Tsar,” then shouts of “hurrah!” and
“jivio!” One of the volunteers, a tall, very young man with a hollow chest, was
particularly conspicuous, bowing and waving his felt hat and a nosegay over his
head. Then two officers emerged, bowing too, and a stout man with a big beard,
wearing a greasy forage cap.
