Nevsky order? - Is there something higher? - Vladimir. - And still higher? - Saint Andrew. And higher than that? You are far too young to be interested in these things. l've asked you to stop rocking. Now name the patriarchs who lived before the Flood. Enos... Enoch... Then Methuselah... - Jared... Enos... - You've already named Enos. It's bad that you don't try to learn the things which are the most important for a Christian. I must punish you. l'm leaving now, and you're forbidden to go for a walk as usual. The nurse said that my mama isn't really dead. Is it true? She's dead... She's dead... for you. 'I haven't seen him for such a long time. l'm so unhappy being separated from my son. l'm imploring you for permission to see him, if only just once. l'm turning to you and not to Alexei Alexandrovich, only because I do not want that generous man to suffer. Knowing of your friendship with him, l'm sure you'II understand me. Will you send Seryozha to me or should I come to the house when you tell me to?' I have received a letter from her. She is here, in Petersburg. Oh, I congratulate you! Lydia Ivanovna has taken Karenin under her special protection. The Countess has never stopped being in love with someone: a prince, the Metripolitan, now it's Karenin. He came straight from the Winter Palace where the Czar was congratulating those who've been decorated. She asks me to assist her in arranging a meeting with your son... our little angel. I do not believe that I have the right to refuse her. You never see evil in anyone. I see evil everywhere, but would it be fair? There is a limit to everything. And if you ask my advice... l'd advise you not to do it. Without any hesitation I wouldn't advise it. With your permission... l'II answer her letter. All we may do is pray to Almighty God to have mercy on her. Madame? I want to see Seryozha... Sergey Alexeyevich. Let me take a look. He's waking up. Madame is here? Seryozha! It's me. Come here. Mama! Seryozha, my darling! Today is my birthday. I knew you'd come. Mama, why are you crying? I won't cry. l'm crying forjoy. I haven't seen you for such a long time. Now, you must get dressed. Yes. Only I don't wash with cold water. Papa said not to. You're sitting on my clothes. My darling, you didn't believe I was dead? I never believed it, mama darling! Don't go away, he's not coming yet. My darling! My blessed little monkey! You won't forget me? Don't go. He won't come. My baby, love your father. I did him a terrible wrong. When you're older, you'II understand. He's kinder than I am, and better. No! I don't want to! Mama! Darling mama! No one is better than you! Mama! Mama! You know how fond I am of Anna. Don't think l'm condemning her. But she simply doesn't understand her situation. I cannot receive her. I can't change the world. I know she won't be received in court circles. But our close friends, they can and they must understand. She might meet people in my house who take a different view of things. You'II be snubbed by them. No, as long as her situation remains... irregular... I simply cannot receive her. Don't be angry with me. I see... Please understand it's not my fault. But l'm pained all the more because this ends our friendship, too. You will understand that for me there can be no other way. Are you really going to the theatre? Why shouldn't I? l've wanted to hear Patti for so long. Why do you ask in such a frightened tone? After all, there isn't any reason not to go... l'm not going alone. Yashvin won't be a compromising escort. Anna, what's wrong with you? - What do you mean? - You know you can't go. Why? You're busy. You can stay at home. - Don't you realize that... - No! And I don't want to! - But you must understand... - I don't care to! For us, only one thing counts: whether we love each other or not.
