Only for the first few moments, while they were leaving the courtyard of the club, did Levin retain that sense of club calm, pleasure, and undoubted decorum in his surroundings; but as soon as the carriage had passed out into the street and he felt it jolting on the uneven road, heard the angry shouts of an izvoshchik they met, saw in the ill-lit street the red signboards of a vodka dealer and of a small shop, that sense was dissipated, and he began to consider his actions and to ask himself whether he was doing right in going to see Anna.
Solamente algunos momentos más –en tanto que el coche salía del zaguán– le duró a Levin la sensación de bienestar que había experimentado en el Círculo. Apenas el carruaje salió a la calle y sintió las sacudidas que daba rodando sobre un pavimento desigual, y oyó los gritos de un cochero de alquiler con el que se cruzaron, y percibió, a la luz tenue de los faroles la muestra roja de un café y tienda de comestibles, aquella sensación placentera se le desvaneció.
