-
You would be lost. Irretrievably lost.
-
You would have no position.
-
And worse,
-
if we divorce, you would be the guilty party.
-
That means you cannot legally remarry.
-
Your union with Count Vronsky would be illegitimate,
-
as would your daughter,
-
who now has the protection of my name.
-
And this is what you want?
-
It would be a sin to help you destroy yourself.
-
You forget something.
-
Count Vronsky and I love each other.
