It was settled that Levin would drive with Nataly to the concert and to the public meeting, and from there they would send the carriage to the office to fetch Arseny, who would call for his wife and take her on to Kitty's, or if he was detained by business he would send the carriage back, and Levin would accompany her.
Végre abban állapodtak meg, hogy Levin elmegy Natáliával a hangversenyre és az ülésre, onnan elküldik a kocsit a hivatalba Arszenijért, a ki majd eljön a feleségeért s elviszi Kitihez; ha pedig addigra nem végzi el a dolgát, úgy visszaküldi a kocsit, s Levin megy el vele.
