Anna Karenina

[cwell]

I have been listening to Anna Karinina by audio book that I downloaded free on my MP3 player from my library. But I must have slept through part of a chapter and now in Part 7, with just 4 hours to go I would like help in solving a mystery without having to search for the answer. Can anyone tell me how Vronsky got his money? Not long after he began his affair with Anna he was basically broke. If you remember, he had planned to borrow money from a loan shark and sell his horses to pay his current bills and I believe he volunteered that his brother have priority in inheritance. So, toward the end of the book, how does he have an estate where Anna lives with their baby and he is building a hospital and seems to be rich. How did I miss that?

If anyone would like info on how to get the free audio downloads, I'm happy to share my info. I imagine my library is not the only one offering this.

Vronsky had about 100,000 rubles (?)/ a year that he basically had allowed his older brother to use (about 75,000) because he did not have use for it while in the military- see part III chapter 19). At that point the understanding he had with his brother was that he (Vronsky) would use it again once he gets married. When he and Anna start living together, it's never stated (at least that I recall), but he must be using all of this.
