1 That was just what her son was thinking.
2 The first person to meet Anna at home was her son.
3 This elder son, too, was displeased with his younger brother.
4 "Well, countess, you have met your son, and I my brother," she said.
5 Again she would have said "my son," but she could not utter that word.
6 And her son, like her husband, aroused in Anna a feeling akin to disappointment.
7 But I am not speaking of myself; the most important persons in this matter are our son and yourself.
8 At once thoughts of home, of husband and of son, and the details of that day and the following came upon her.
9 She had not seen him since his abrupt departure from Moscow, and she sent her elder son to bid him come to see her.
10 She was sitting on the terrace waiting for the return of her son, who had gone out for his walk and been caught in the rain.
11 His mother, a dried-up old lady with black eyes and ringlets, screwed up her eyes, scanning her son, and smiled slightly with her thin lips.
12 "You set off with the mother and you return with the son," he said, articulating each syllable, as though each were a separate favor he was bestowing.
13 Getting up from the seat and handing her maid a bag, she gave her little wrinkled hand to her son to kiss, and lifting his head from her hand, kissed him on the cheek.
14 To regain her serenity completely she went into the nursery, and spent the whole evening with her son, put him to bed herself, signed him with the cross, and tucked him up.
15 He who had been such a careful father, had from the end of that winter become peculiarly frigid to his son, and adopted to him just the same bantering tone he used with his wife.
16 "Yes, the countess and I have been talking all the time, I of my son and she of hers," said Madame Karenina, and again a smile lighted up her face, a caressing smile intended for him.
17 But she had heard of late that her son had refused a position offered him of great importance to his career, simply in order to remain in the regiment, where he could be constantly seeing Madame Karenina.
18 When he came back a few minutes later, Stepan Arkadyevitch was already in conversation with the countess about the new singer, while the countess was impatiently looking towards the door, waiting for her son.
19 He did not realize it, because it was too terrible to him to realize his actual position, and he shut down and locked and sealed up in his heart that secret place where lay hid his feelings towards his family, that is, his wife and son.
20 But he was not aware that he sought work for himself that year, that this was one of the means for keeping shut that secret place where lay hid his feelings towards his wife and son and his thoughts about them, which became more terrible the longer they lay there.
