- With: Jules Landau Countess Lidia Ivanovna Karenin
- “nothing is settled now in her house or Alexey Alexandrovitch’s without him, and so your sister’s fate is now in the hands of Landau, alias Count Bezzubov.”

with Anna (Princess Myakaya expresses strong personal liking for Anna.) “‘Bad luck to your tongue!’ said Princess Myakaya suddenly. ‘Madame Karenina’s a splendid woman. I don’t like her husband, but I like her very much.’”
with Karenin (Princess Myakaya explicitly expresses dislike of Alexey Alexandrovitch.) “Bad luck to your tongue!” said Princess Myakaya suddenly. “Madame Karenina’s a splendid woman. I don’t like her husband, but I like her very much.” “Why don’t you like her husband? He’s such a remarkable man,” said the ambassador’s wife. “My husband says there are few statesmen like him in Europe.” “And my husband tells me just the same, but I don’t believe it,” said Princess Myakaya. “If our husbands didn’t talk to us, we should see the facts as they are. Alexey Alexandrovitch, to my thinking, is simply a fool.”

with Betsy (They disagree about Alexey Alexandrovitch’s decision.) “‘I think it very noble,’ Betsy said about this to the Princess Myakaya. ‘Why take money for posting-horses when everyone knows that there are railways everywhere now?’ But Princess Myakaya did not agree, and the Princess Tverskaya’s opinion annoyed her indeed.”

with Stepan Arkadyevitch (They had been speaking privately.) “So that he was considerably relieved at the arrival of Princess Myakaya, which cut short their tête-à-tête.”
with Stepan Arkadyevitch (Princess Myakaya interrupted Stepan's private conversation with Betsy.) “So that he was considerably relieved at the arrival of Princess Myakaya, which cut short their tête-à-tête.”
with Vronsky (Princess Myakaya expresses resentment toward Vronsky.) “I can’t forgive Vronsky for not letting me know when she was in Petersburg.”

with Stepan Arkadyevitch (Stepan wishes to establish friendly terms with Princess Myakaya.) “Curious! It would be quite as well, though, to get on friendly terms with her.”
with Pomorsky (Princess Myakaya is described as having influence with Pomorsky.) “If she would say a word to Pomorsky, the thing would be a certainty.”
