Louisa Ivanovna consented to go, and in half an hour four troyka sleighs with large and small bells, their runners squeaking and whistling over the frozen snow, drove up to the porch.
Latterly that private life had become very trying for Princess Mary.
There in Moscow she was deprived of her greatest pleasures-talks with the pilgrims and the solitude which refreshed her at Bald Hills-and she had none of the advantages and pleasures of city life.
She did not go out into society; everyone knew that her father would not let her go anywhere without him, and his failing health prevented his going out himself, so that she was not invited to dinners and eveni ... ive years, was in Moscow, but proved to be quite alien to her when they met.
Just then Julie, who by the death of her brothers had become one of the richest heiresses in Moscow, was in the full whirl of society pleasures.
She was surrounded by young men who, she fancied, had suddenly learned to appreciate her worth.
Julie was at that stage in the life of a society woman when she feels that her last chance of marrying has come and that her fate must be decided now or never.
On Thursdays Princess Mary remembered with a mournful smile that she now had no one to write to, since Julie-whose presence gave her no pleasure was here and they met every week.
Like the old emigre who declined to marry the lady with whom he had spent his evenings for years, she regretted Julie's presence and having no one to write to.
In Moscow Princess Mary had no one to talk to, no one to whom to confide her sorrow, and much sorrow fell to her lot just then.
The time for Prince Andrew's return and marriage was approaching, but his request to her to prepare his father for it had not been carried out; in fact, it seemed as if matters were quite hopeless, for at every mention of the young Countess Rostova the old prince (who apart from that was usually in a bad temper) lost control of himself.
Another lately added sorrow arose from the lessons she gave her six year-old nephew.
To her consternation she detected in herself in relation to little Nicholas some symptoms of her father's irritability.
However often she told herself that she must not get irritable when teaching her nephew, almost every time that, pointer in hand, she sat down to show him the French alphabet, she so longed to pour her own knowledge quickly and easily into the child-who was already afraid that Auntie might at any moment get angry-that at his slightest inattention she trembled, became flustered and heated, raised her voice, and sometimes pulled him by the arm and put him in the corner.
Having put him in the corner she would herself begin to cry over her cruel, evil nature, and little Nicholas, following her example, would sob, and without permission would leave his corner, come to her, pull her wet hands from her face, and comfort her.
But what distressed the princess most of all was her father's irritability, which was always directed against her and had of late amounted to cruelty.
Had he forced her to prostrate herself to the ground all night, had he beaten her or made her fetch wood or water, it would never have entered her mind to think her position hard; but this loving despot-the more cruel because he loved her and for that reason tormented himself and her-knew how not merely to hurt and humiliate her deliberately, but to show her that she was always to blame for everything.
Of late he had exhibited a new trait that tormented Princess Mary more "She will run away with him!" thought Sonya.
"She is capable of anything.
There was something particularly pathetic and resolute in her face today.
She cried as she said good-by to Uncle," Sonya remembered.
"Yes, that's it, she means to elope with him, but what am I to do?" thought she, recalling all the signs that clearly indicated that Natasha had some terrible intention.
"The count is away.
What am I to do? Write to Kurag ... ion? But what is there to oblige him to reply? Write to Pierre, as Prince Andrew asked me to in case of some misfortune?.
.
.
But perhaps she really has already refused Bolkonski-she sent a letter to Princess Mary yesterday.
And Uncle is away.
.
.
.
" To tell Marya Dmitrievna who had such faith in Natasha seemed to Sonya terrible.
"Well, anyway," thought Sonya as she stood in the dark passage, "now or never I must prove that I remember the family's goodness to me and that I love Nicholas.
Yes! If I don't sleep for three nights I'll not leave this passage and will hold her back by force and will and not let the family be disgraced," thought she.
Now or never he must use the strong, if not melodious voice which nature had bestowed upon him.
"Now or never!" "Very good.
