1 That was just what her son was thinking.
2 The first person to meet Anna at home was her son.
3 This elder son, too, was displeased with his younger brother.
4 "Well, countess, you have met your son, and I my brother," she said.
5 Again she would have said "my son," but she could not utter that word.
6 And her son, like her husband, aroused in Anna a feeling akin to disappointment.
7 But I am not speaking of myself; the most important persons in this matter are our son and yourself.
8 At once thoughts of home, of husband and of son, and the details of that day and the following came upon her.
9 She had not seen him since his abrupt departure from Moscow, and she sent her elder son to bid him come to see her.
