Her brother Stiva telephones from Moscow, asking her to intervene in a serious marriage complication. Dolly, his wife, discovered him with Miss Hull, the children’s governess. Anna travels to Moscow, where she accidently meets Alexei Vronsky – a portentous encounter. However, a worker’s terrible accident seems a bad omen to her. Dolly and Stiva quarrel.
