LISA. Why do you torment me! You seem to want to do it.... It's hard
enough for me without that.
ANNA PÁVLOVNA. I torment you! Well then, I'll go. I can't stand by and
see it....
Lisa is silent.
ANNA PÁVLOVNA. I see! That's just what you want--I'm in your way.... I
can't live so. I can't make you out at all! It's all so
new-fangled--first you make up your mind to separate, then you suddenly
send for a man who is in love with you ...
LISA. Nothing of the kind.
ANNA PÁVLOVNA. Karénin proposed to you ... and you send him to fetch
your husband! Why? To arouse jealousy?
LISA. Mother, what you are saying is terrible! Leave me alone!
ANNA PÁVLOVNA. Very well! Turn your mother out of the house, and let in
your rake of a husband!... Yes, I will not remain here! Good-bye,
then--I leave you to your fate; you can do as you please! [Exit slamming
door].
