Leo Tolstoy Quotes

Have You Not Yet Seen, Or Not Been Introduced To Ma Tante? Anna Pavlovna Said To Her Guests As They Arrived, And Very Seriously She Led Them Up To A Little Old Lady Wearing Tall Bows, Who Had Sailed In Out Of The Next Room As Soon As The Guests Began To Arrive. Anna Pavlovna Mentioned Their Names, Deliberately Turning Her Eyes From The Guest To Ma Tante, And Then Withdrew. All The Guests Performed The Ceremony Of Greeting The Aunt, Who Was Unknown, Uninteresting And Unnecessary To Every One. Anna Pavlovna With Mournful, Solemn Sympathy, Followed These Greetings, Silently Approving Them. Ma Tante Said To Each Person The Same Words About His Health, Her Own Health, And The Health Of Her Majesty, Who Was, Thank God, Better To-day. Every One, Though From Politeness Showing No Undue Haste, Moved Away From The Old Lady With A Sense Of Relief At A Tiresome Duty Accomplished, And Did Not Approach Her Again All The Evening.
