"What experiment? Table-turning? Well, you must excuse me,

ladies and gentlemen, but to my mind it is better fun to play the

ring game," said the old prince, looking at Vronsky, and guessing

that it had been his suggestion. "There's some sense in that,

anyway."

Vronsky looked wonderingly at the prince with his resolute eyes,

and, with a faint smile, began immediately talking to Countess

Nordston of the great ball that was to come off next week.

"I hope you will be there?" he said to Kitty. As soon as the old

prince turned away from him, Levin went out unnoticed, and the

last impression he carried away with him of that evening was the

smiling, happy face of Kitty answering Vronsky's inquiry about

the ball.
