simply send the letter, but I know him: his first impulse, as always,
will be the right one--but then someone will influence him, and he'll
change his mind and not do what he really wants to....
KARÉNIN. I will do what I can.
LISA. You're surprised at my asking you?
KARÉNIN. No.... Yet, to tell you the truth--yes, I am surprised.
LISA. But you are not angry?
KARÉNIN. As if I could be angry with you!
LISA. I asked you because I know you care for him.
KARÉNIN. Him, and you too! You know that. I am thinking not of myself,
but of you. Thank you for trusting me! I will do what I can.
LISA. I know.... I will tell you everything. To-day I went to Afrémov's
to find out where he was. I was told he had gone to the gipsies--which
is what I feared most of all. I know he will get carried away if he is
not stopped in time--and that's what has to be done.... So you'll go?
KARÉNIN. Of course, and at once.
