They order a ton of oysters, and the descriptions got me very very hungry. Oblonsky basically slurps them all down while Levin giddily bubbles.
He does take the time to complain about the decadence of the city folk, specifically Oblonsky's coworker Grinevich, who has ungodly long finger nails. Oblonksy says that "the aim of civilization is to enable us to get enjoyment out of everything." Levin says if this is true than he is savage. I'd second that.
Also: Levin describes his love for Kitty as "some external power that has seized me." Such passion, this guy.
The chapter ends on a high note, Oblonsky quite optomistic about his future with Kitty.
Other thoughts:
-From now on, I'm not going to read past the chapter I'm writing about. I've already read two chapters ahead, and it's changing the way I write these entries in a way I don't like. I'd rather these entries didn't feel like Sparknotes and more like extended marginalia.
-Also, I'm going to include a picture for each entry.
