Ljewin war recht ärgerlich auf seine Frau, weil eingetroffen war, was er erwartet hatte, nämlich daß er im Augenblick der Ankunft, wo er in höchster Angst und Aufregung um das Befinden seines Bruders war, für Kittys Unterkunft sorgen mußte, statt unverzüglich zu Nikolai hinzueilen; in solcher Stimmung führte er sie in das ihnen angewiesene Zimmer.
Vexed with his wife because his expectations were being realized – namely, that, at the moment of arrival when his heart was seized with agitation at the thought of his brother's condition, he was obliged to consider her instead of running to him at once – Levin led her to the room.
