Quote from an academic article about Tolstoy:
Compare the above passage with this description: "And among all these faces that he found so tedious, none seemed to bore him so much as that of his pretty wife. He turned away from her with a grimace that distorted his handsome face, kissed Anna Pavlovna's hand, and screwing up his eyes scanned the whole company." ("War and peace")

Is the last full stop in place here?
