Вронский тогда же хотел отдать деньги (они были у него), но Веневский и Яшвин настаивали на том, что заплатят они, а не Вронский, который и не играл.
Vronsky had wanted to pay the money at the time (he had that amount then), but Venovsky and Yashvin had insisted that they would pay and not Vronsky, who had not played.
