The footman stood holding open the carriage door. The hall-porter stood with his hand on the outer front door, Anna with her deft little hand was disengaging the lace of her sleeve which had caught on a hook of her fur coat, and with bent head was listening with delight to what Vronsky, who accompanied her, was saying.
Un servitore, diritto impalato, apriva lo sportello, mentre il portiere, in piedi, teneva la porta esterna. Anna Arkad’evna con la mano piccola e agile andava staccando i pizzi della manica da un gancio della pelliccia e, chinando la testa, ascoltava incantata quello che Vronskij le andava dicendo nell’accompagnarla.
