Anna Karenina Part 3 Chapter 8

In which Darya Alexandrovna, with tender care and thoughtful resolve, endeavours to present her children to the church for the sacrament after a long absence, navigating the small trials of dressmaking and discipline with a mother's loving eye. Amidst the joys and minor tribulations of a summer day's outing to the river and a chance meeting with peasant women, her heart swells with the simple, shared pleasures of family and community.
