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 {in 
the same house} {with him}.] / This
position
{of affairs} had
 
now
lasted
three
days
(NuA),
/ and not only the
husband
and
wife
 
themselves
(Appositive to "husband" and "wife"),
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 together},]
and
[that the stray people
brought together
{by 
 chance} {in any inn} had
more
{in
common} {with one another} [than
 
they,
the members (Appositive
to "they") {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 
 her to look
out for a new
situation {for
her};  / the
man-cook
had 
 walked off
the day (NuA)
{before} just {at dinner-time}; 
/   the 
 kitchen-maid,
and
the
coachman
had
given warning.
/ 
      Three days
(NuA) {after the quarrel}, Prince Stepan
Arkadyevitch
 Oblonsky -- Stiva
(Appositive to "Prince ... Oblonsky"),
[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.
