The day of the races was a very busy one for Karenin; but in the morning when he made his plans for the day he decided that immediately after an early dinner he would go to see his wife at the country house, and from there to the races, at which the whole Court would be present and where he ought to appear.
Il giorno delle corse era un giorno pieno di lavoro per Aleksej Aleksandrovic; ma, predisposto fin dal mattino il programma della giornata, aveva deciso di andare, subito dopo colazione, in campagna dalla moglie, e di là alle corse, dove si sarebbe trovata tutta la corte e dove egli doveva andare.
