sent my secretary to him with the petition ready for signature, and told
him not to leave till it is signed. If I did not know him so well, I
should think he was purposely behaving as he does.
LISA. He? No, it is the result both of his weakness and his honesty. He
doesn't want to say what is not true. Only you were wrong to send him
money.
KARÉNIN. I had to. The want of it might be the cause of the delay.
LISA. No, there is something bad about money.
KARÉNIN. Well, anyhow, he need not have been so punctilious ...
LISA. How selfish we are becoming!
KARÉNIN. Yes, I confess it. It's your own fault. After all that waiting,
that hopelessness, I am now so happy! And happiness makes one selfish.
It's your fault!
LISA. Do you think it's you only? I too--I feel full of happiness,
bathed in bliss! I have everything--Mísha has recovered, your mother
likes me, and you--and above all, I, I love!
KARÉNIN. Yes? And no repenting? No turning back?
