ACT II  
SCENE 1  
Two weeks have passed since Act I. Anna Pávlovna and Karénin are  
discovered sitting in Lisa's dining-room. Enter Sásha.  
KARÉNIN. Well, what news?  
SÁSHA. The doctor says there is no danger at present, as long as he does  
not catch cold.  
ANNA PÁVLOVNA. Yes, but Lisa is quite worn out.  
SÁSHA. He says it's false croup, and a very mild attack. [Points to a  
basket]. What's that?  
ANNA PÁVLOVNA. Grapes. Victor brought them.  
KARÉNIN. Won't you have some?  
SÁSHA. Yes, she likes grapes. She has become terribly nervous.  
KARÉNIN. Naturally--after not sleeping for two nights, and not eating.
