"Yes, of course," Darya Alexandrovna said dreamily, as she

vividly recalled her last interview with Alexey Alexandrovitch.

"Yes, of course," she repeated with decision, thinking of Anna.

"Use your influence with her, make her write. I don't like--I'm

almost unable to speak about this to her."

"Very well, I will talk to her. But how is it she does not

think of it herself?" said Darya Alexandrovna, and for some

reason she suddenly at that point recalled Anna's strange new

habit of half-closing her eyes. And she remembered that Anna

drooped her eyelids just when the deeper questions of life were

touched upon. "Just as though she half-shut her eyes to her own

life, so as not to see everything," thought Dolly. "Yes, indeed,

for my own sake and for hers I will talk to her," Dolly said in

reply to his look of gratitude.

They got up and walked to the house.
