Only for the first few moments, while they were leaving the courtyard of the club, did Levin retain that sense of club calm, pleasure, and undoubted decorum in his surroundings; but as soon as the carriage had passed out into the street and he felt it jolting on the uneven road, heard the angry shouts of an izvoshchik they met, saw in the ill-lit street the red signboards of a vodka dealer and of a small shop, that sense was dissipated, and he began to consider his actions and to ask himself whether he was doing right in going to see Anna.
Solo nel primo momento, mentre la carrozza usciva dal portone, Levin continuò a provare l’impressione di distensione del club, di benessere e di sicuro decoro di quello che lo circondava; ma non appena la carrozza uscì sulla via ed egli sentì il traballìo del veicolo sulla strada ineguale, udì il grido rabbioso di un vetturale, e vide nella luce smorta l’insegna rossa d’una bettola e di una botteguccia, quell’impressione svanì ed egli cominciò a riflettere se faceva bene, oppure no ad andare da Anna.
