I am pleased to see you!' she said, walking up to Anna. 'Yesterday at the races I was just trying to get near you when you went away. I was so anxious to see you, yesterday especially. Was it not dreadful?' and she gave Anna a look that seemed to reveal her whole soul.
— Ah, come son contenta di vedervi! — ella disse, avvicinandosi. — Ieri alle corse stavo per raggiungervi proprio nel momento in cui andavate via. Volevo tanto vedervi proprio ieri. Non è vero che è stato orribile? — ella disse, guardando Anna col suo sguardo che sembrava scoprire tutta l’anima.
