The beautiful Countess, that is, you, was invited to one of the ballrooms. You were famous for always being in the presence of your older brother, an officer who literally looked out for you. But today you were alone. The hall was large: a chandelier illuminating the entire huge ballroom, a bunch of ladies in beautiful dresses and their gentlemen in formal suits. As soon as you appeared in the hall, Katie greeted you, and Anna with her. And one of the officers in a white uniform, standing on the balcony, looked at you as if he was studying you. Your eyes met, but then the man disappeared. The music of a waltz performed by the orchestra began to play. The gentlemen invited the ladies to dance. This mysterious officer, his name is Alexey Vronsky, has approached you.

"Will you give me the pleasure of dancing this waltz with you?" - a blond man with curly hair and я Hussar mustache held out his hand to you and looked at you expectantly from under his blue eyes.
