THE PERSONAL MATTER THAT OCCUPIED LEVIN while he was talking with his brother was this. The year before, when visiting a field that was being mown, he had lost his temper with his steward, and to calm himself had used a remedy of his own – he took a scythe from one of the peasants and himself began mowing.
El asunto personal que preocupaba a Levin durante su conversación con su hermano era el siguiente: cuando el año pasado, habiendo ido Levin a la siega, se enfadó con su encargado, empleó su medio habitual de calmarse: coger una guadaña de manos de un campesino y ponerse a segar.
