(Despite all this, Sergei Karenin got married early, to Claudia, a woman not without her charms, who was also young and rich. They’ve been married over fifteen years. They have no children. They get along well, their marriage is stable, their little battles make them inseparable. It’s more than stable, it’s an institution like the mountains or the ravines you sometimes find next to them; they’re a perfect match.)
