You want me to go and see her, to ask her here, and to rehabilitate her in society; but do understand that I _cannot_ do so.

I have daughters growing up, and I must live in the world for my husband's sake.

Well, I'm ready to come and see Anna Arkadyevna: she will understand that I can't ask her here, or I should have to do so in such a way that she would not meet people who look at things differently; that would offend her.
