SÁSHA. We shall see! [Exit, humming a tune].  
ANNA PÁVLOVNA [alone, shakes her head and mutters] It's all right, it's  
all right!  
Enter Maid.  
MAID. Mr. Karénin has come.  
ANNA PÁVLOVNA. Well then, show him in, and tell your mistress.  
Maid exit by inner door. Enter Karénin, who bows to Anna Pávlovna.  
KARÉNIN. Your daughter wrote to me to come. I meant to come and see you  
to-night, anyhow. So I was very pleased ... Is Elisabeth Andréyevna[2]  
well?  
[
2] Elisabeth Andréyevna is the polite way of speaking of Mrs.  
Protásova, otherwise Lisa.  
ANNA PÁVLOVNA. Yes, she is well, but Baby is a bit restless. She will be  
here directly. [In a melancholy voice] Ah yes! It is a sad time.... But  
you know all about it, don't you?  
KARÉNIN. I do. I was here, you know, the day before yesterday, when his  
letter came. But is it possible that everything is irrevocably settled?
