Kitty danced in the first couple, and luckily for her she had not

to talk, because Korsunsky was all the time running about

directing the figure. Vronsky and Anna sat almost opposite her.

She saw them with her long-sighted eyes, and saw them, too, close

by, when they met in the figures, and the more she saw of them

the more convinced was she that her unhappiness was complete. She

saw that they felt themselves alone in that crowded room. And on

Vronsky's face, always so firm and independent, she saw that look

that had struck her, of bewilderment and humble submissiveness,

like the expression of an intelligent dog when it has done wrong.
