Happy
families
are
all
alike;
/
every
unhappy family
is unhappy
{in
its own way}.
/
Everything
was
{in
confusion} {in the Oblonskys' house}. /
The
wife
had discovered
[that the
husband
was carrying on
an intrigue
{with a French girl},
[who
had
been a governess
{in
their family}]] /,
and
she
had announced {to
her husband} [that she
could not
go
on
living (Gerund
- DO of "could go on") {in the same
house} {with
him}.] / This
position {of
affairs} had
now
lasted
three
days, / and
not only the
husband
and
wife
themselves,
but
all the members
{of their family and household},
were
painfully
conscious
{of
it}. /
Every person
{in
the house} felt
[that
there was
no sense {in
their
living (Gerund - Object
of "in") together},]
and
[that the stray
people brought
(Gerundive to "people")
together {by chance}
{in any inn} had
more
{in common} {with one another} [than
they,
the members
{of the family
and household} {of the Oblonskys}.]] /
The wife
did
not
leave
her own room,
/ the husband
had
not
been
{at home}
{for three days}. / The
children
ran
wild
all {over the
house};
/ the English governess
quarreled {with
the housekeeper},
and
wrote
{to a friend} asking
(Gerundive to "governess")
her
(IO of "asking" & subject
of "to look out for")
to look
(Inf -
DO of "asking")
out
for a new
situation
(DO of ""to look out for")
{for her};
/ the
man-cook
had
walked off the day
{before} just {at
dinner-time};
/ the kitchen-maid,
and
the coachman
had
given
warning.
/
Three days
{after the quarrel},
Prince Stepan Arkadyevitch
Oblonsky -- Stiva,
[as
he was
called {in the fashionable world}]
--
woke up {at
his usual hour},
[that
is,
{at
eight o'clock} {in the
morning},] not
{in his wife's bedroom,} but {on the leather-covered
sofa} {in his study}.
/ He
turned over
his stout, well-cared-for person
{on the springy sofa},
[as
though he would
sink {into a long sleep}
again] / ;
he
vigorously
embraced
the pillow
{on the other side} and
buried his
face {in
it}; / but
all {at once} he
jumped up,
sat
up {on the
sofa}, and opened
his
eyes.
