"After a day spent together, both she [Darya Alexandrovna] and her hosts were distinctly aware that they did not get on together, and that it was better for them to be apart. Only Anna was sad. She knew that now, from Dolly's departure, no one again would stir up within her soul the feelings that had been roused by their conversation. It hurt her to stir up these feelings, but yet she knew that that was the best part of her soul, and that that part of her soul would quickly be smothered in the life she was leading."
