ten o’clock
Darya Alexandrovna , by Levin 's advice , started before daybreak . The road was good , the carriage comfortable , the horses trotted along merrily , and on the box , besides the coachman , sat the counting-house clerk , whom Levin was sending instead of a groom for greater security . Darya Alexandrovna dozed and waked up only on reaching the inn where the horses were to be changed . After drinking tea at the same well-to-do peasant 's with whom Levin had stayed on the way to Sviazhsky 's , and chatting with the women about their children , and with the old man about Count Vronsky , whom the latter praised very highly , Darya Alexandrovna , at ten o'clock , went on again . At home , looking after her children , she had no time to think . So now , after this journey of four hours , all the thoughts she had suppressed before rushed swarming into her brain , and she thought over all her life as she never had before , and from the most different points of view . Her thoughts seemed strange even to herself .
