Gladiator and Diana approached the stream together, and almost at the same moment rose above it and flew across to the other side; lightly as if on wings Frou-Frou rose up behind them; but at the moment when Vronsky felt himself raised in the air he suddenly saw, almost under his horse's feet, Kusovlev, who was floundering on the other side of the stream with his Diana (Kusovlev had let go of the reins at the jump and the horse fell throwing him over her head).
Vronsky, apenas se sintió levantado en el aire, vio de pronto, casi bajo las patas de su cabalgadura, a Kuzovlev, que trataba de desembarazarse de «Diana» , caída a la otra orilla del arroyo. Kuzovlev había soltado las riendas después de saltar y el caballo cayó cabeza abajo con él.
