I'm not a professor of sociology, of course, but it interested me, and really, if it interests you, you ought to study it." "But what conclusion have they come to?" "Excuse me..." The two neighbors had risen, and Sviazhsky, once more checking Levin in his inconvenient habit of peeping into what was beyond the outer chambers of his mind, went to see his guests out.
"Oh, it's a work of real importance!" said Sviazhsky. But to show he was not trying to ingratiate himself with Vronsky, he promptly added some slightly critical remarks. "I wonder, though, count," he said, "that while you do so much for the health of the peasants, you take so little interest in the schools." "C'est devenu tellement commun les écoles," said Vronsky.
I saw one at the Vienna exhibition, which binds with a wire," said Sviazhsky. "They would be more profitable in use." "Es kommt drauf an.... Der Preis vom Draht muss ausgerechnet werden." And the German, roused from his taciturnity, turned to Vronsky. "Das lässt sich ausrechnen, Erlaucht."
When the game was over, Stepan Arkadyevitch took Levin's arm. "Well, let us go to Anna's, then. At once? Eh? She is at home. I promised her long ago to bring you. Where were you meaning to spend the evening?" "Oh, nowhere specially. I promised Sviazhsky to go to the Society of Agriculture. By all means, let us go," said Levin. "Very good; come along.

"And here we've met for the first time since we met at your place," said the landowner to Sviazhsky, "and we've had a good talk too." "Well, have you been attacking the new order of things?" said Sviazhsky with a smile. "That we're bound to do."
But those old-fashioned methods of paternal family arrangements in the management of provincial affairs must be broken down." On the fifth day came the elections of the district marshals. It was rather a stormy day in several districts. In the Seleznevsky district Sviazhsky was elected unanimously without a ballot, and he gave a dinner that evening.
Sviazhsky looked with smiling eyes at Levin, and even made a faint gesture of irony to him; but Levin did not think the landowner's words absurd, he understood them better than he did Sviazhsky. A great deal more of what the gentleman with the gray whiskers said to show in what way Russia was ruined by the emancipation struck him indeed as very true, new to him, and quite incontestable.
"What makes you think," said Levin, trying to get back to the question, "that it's impossible to find some relation to the laborer in which the labor would become productive?" "That never could be so with the Russian peasantry; we've no power over them," answered the landowner. "How can new conditions be found?" said Sviazhsky.
Obviously the landowner was chaffing Sviazhsky, who, far from resenting it, was apparently amused by it. "But you see we manage our land without such extreme measures," said he, smiling: "Levin and I and this gentleman." He indicated the other landowner.
