Vronsky listened with pleasure to the merry prattle of the pretty young woman, agreed with what she said, and half in fun gave her advice; in a word he immediately took up his habitual manner with women of her kind. In his Petersburg world people were divided into two quite opposite sorts.
La gente del ambiente en que Vronsky se movía suele dividir a las personas en dos clases: la primera está compuesta por necios, imbéciles y ridículos, que imaginan que los esposos deben ser fieles a sus esposas, las jóvenes puras, las casadas honorables, los hombres decididos, firmes y dueños de sí.
