"Vronsky is one of the sons of Count Kirill Ivanovitch Vronsky, and one of the finest specimens of the gilded youth of Petersburg.

I made his acquaintance in Tver when I was there on official business, and he came there for the levy of recruits.

Fearfully rich, handsome, great connections, an aide-de-camp, and with all that a very nice, good-natured fellow.
