Anna Karenina Part 6, Chapter 26

By Leo Tolstoy

Part 6, Chapter 26

In September, Levin moves to Moscow for Kitty's pregnancy. He has nothing to do.
Koznyshev prepares for the elections and invites Levin to go along.
Kitty secretly orders the necessary nobleman's uniform and persuades her husband to go. After all, Levin has some business to take care of regarding his sister's estate.
When Levin tries to resolve his sister's issues, he meets a ton of bureaucratic red tape.
After getting married, however, Levin has become much more patient with the suggestions of his peers.
For example, he's willing to give this whole election business a shot, even though he doesn't understand it and thinks it's pointless.
