Anna Karenina — Page 5
Catching sight of that smile, Dolly shuddered as though at physical pain, broke out with her characteristic heat into a flood of cruel words, and rushed out of the room.
Als Dolly dieses Lächeln erblickte, schauderte sie wie bei körperlichem Schmerz, brach mit ihrer charakteristischen Heftigkeit in einen Strom grausamer Worte aus und stürzte aus dem Zimmer.
Since then she had refused to see her husband.
Seitdem hatte sie sich geweigert, ihren Mann zu sehen.
