with Karenin (Alexey Alexandrovitch joined Landau in the trance ritual.) “Alexey Alexandrovitch got up, tried to move carefully, but stumbled against the table, went up and laid his hand in the Frenchman’s hand.”
with Stepan Arkadyevitch (Landau's eyes are fixed on Stepan Arkadyevitch.) “As he listened to Countess Lidia Ivanovna, aware of the beautiful, artless—or perhaps artful, he could not decide which—eyes of Landau fixed upon him, Stepan Arkadyevitch began to be conscious of a peculiar heaviness in his head.”
with Countess Lidia Ivanovna (Countess Lidia Ivanovna is delighted by Landau's being asleep.) “But Stepan Arkadyevitch’s being asleep would have offended them, as he thought (though even this, he thought, might not be so, as everything seemed so queer), while Landau’s being asleep delighted them extremely, especially Countess Lidia Ivanovna.”
