Arkadyevna Karenina is coming to visit from Saint Petersburg. Meanwhile, Stiva's childhood friend Konstantin Dmitrievich Levin ("Kostya") arrives in Moscow with the aim of proposing to Dolly's youngest sister Princess Ekaterina Alexandrovna Shcherbatskaya, "Kitty".

Having lost a considerable sum at cards (at the game of faro) to the Duke of Orleans, which her husband refused to cover, she faced financial and social ruin.
