The elder brother, who had always respected his younger brother's opinions, was not sure whether he was right or wrong, until the world had decided the point; but for his own part he had nothing against it and went up with Alexis to see Anna.
Il fratello maggiore, che rispettava sempre le idee del minore, non sapeva bene se egli avesse ragione o no, finché il mondo non avesse risolto tale questione; lui stesso poi, da parte sua, non aveva nulla in contrario, e insieme con Aleksej andò da Anna.
