- Wait, Sonya, you will understand everything. See what kind of man he is. You do not think bad about me nor about him. "I don't think about anyone who I don't think bad: I love everyone and regret everyone." But what should I do? Sonya did not give up a gentle tone, with whom Natasha appealed to her. The softened and sorry was the expression of Natasha's face, the face of Sony was striking. "Natasha," she said, "you asked me to not talk to you, I didn't say, now you started." Natasha, I do not believe him. Why this mystery? - Again, again! - Interrupted Natasha. - Natasha, I'm afraid for you. - What are you afraid? "I am afraid that you will destroy yourself," Sonya said resolutely, herself frightened by what she said. Natasha's face again expressed anger. - And I will shoot, shiping, as soon as possible empty myself. None of your business. Not you, but I will be bad. Leave, leave me. I hate you. - Natasha! - frightened Sonya. - I hate, hate! And you are my enemy forever! Natasha ran out of the room. Natasha did not speak more with Sonya and avoided it. With the same expression of excited surprise and crime, she walked around the rooms, accepting the time for another occupation and immediately throwing them. As it was neither hard for Sony, but she, not showering eyes, watched her girlfriend. On the eve of the day, in which the count was supposed to return, Sonya noticed that Natasha sat all the morning by the window of the living room, as if waiting for something and that she did some kind of sign of the military, whom Sonya took for Anatol. Sonya became even more attentive to watch his girlfriend and noticed that Natasha was all the time lunch and evening in a strange and unnatural condition (answered the nefple for the questions made to her, began and did not have any phrases, he laughed everything). After tea, Sonya saw a robling maid girl, waiting for her at Natasha doors. She missed her and, overhearding at the door, he learned that the letter was transmitted again. And suddenly Son became clear that Natasha had some terrible plan for this evening. Sonya knocked her. Natasha did not let her. "She will run away with him! Thought Sonya. She is capable of everything. Nowadays it was something particularly pitiful and decisive. She cried, saying goodbye to Uncle, recalled Sonya. Yes, it's right, she runs with him - but what should I do? " I thought Sonya, recalling now those signs that clearly proved why Natasha had some terrible intention. "There is no graph. What should I do, write to Kuragin, demanding explanations from him? But who tells him to answer? Write a pierra, as I asked Prince Andrei in case of unfortunate? ... But maybe, in fact, she has already refused to Blocks (she sent a letter to Knuckle Marya yesterday). Uncle No! " To say Marie Dmitrievna, who believed in Natasha, it seemed terrible soma. "But one way or another, I thought Sonya, standing in a dark corridor: now or has never come time to prove that I remember the benefits of their family and love Nicolas. No, I will not sleep for three nights, and I will not go out of this corridor and I will not put it out of this, and I will not give my shape to collapse on their family, "she thought. Anatol recently moved to Dolokhov. The Rostova's abduction plan has already been respectable for several days and was cooked by Dolohov, and that day, when Sonya, overhearding Natasha at the door, decided to protect it, this plan was to be carried out. Natasha at ten o'clock in the evening promised to go to Kuragin on the rear porch. Kuragin was to land her in the cooked three and carry for 60 versts from Moscow to the village of Kamenka, where the pressed pop, who had to marry them was prepared. In Kamenka and was ready to stand, which was supposed to take them on the Warsaw road and there they had to jump abroad on the postal. Anatoly had a passport, and zapalae, and ten thousand money taken from the sister, and ten thousands engaged in Dolokhov. Two witnesses - tails, a former conjunction that was used to play Doolohov and Makarin, a retired hussar, a good-natured and weak man who fed an infinite love for Kuragin - was sitting in the first room for tea. In the large office of Dologov, removed from the walls to the ceiling by Persian carpets, bearish skins and weapons, Singing Solokov in Road Beshmete and boots before the opened bureau, on which the scores and packs of money lay. Anatol in the unbuttoned uniform went from the room where witnesses were sitting, through the office to the back room, where his footman, the Frenchman with others laid the last things. Shelachov considered money and recorded. "Well," he said, "the tail should be given two thousand. "Well, let me," said Anatol. "Makarka (they were so called Makarin), this unselfishly for you into the fire and into the water. Well, the scores are finished, "said Solokhov, showing him a note. - So? "Yes, of course," said Anatol, apparently not listening to Dologov and with a smile who did not converge from his face, looking forward to himself. Shelahov slammed the Bureau and turned to an anatoly with a mocking smile. - And you know what - I quit it all: still there is time! - he said. - Fool! - said Anatol. - Stop saying nonsense. If you knew ... This Chort knows what is! "The right to quit," said Doolokh. - I tell you the case. Is it a joke that you started? - Well, again, again tease? Went to Chort! And? ... - wriggling Anatole said. - The right is not up to your stupid jokes. - And he left the room. Shelokhov smiled contemptuously and condescendingly when Anatol came out. "You're waiting," he said after an anatoly, "I'm not joking, I'm talking about," I look here. " Anatol again entered the room and, trying to focus on, looked at Dologov, obviously unwittingly conquering him. "You listen to me, I last telling you." What should I joke with you? Did I reread you? Who made you everything, who had found, who took the passport, who got the money? All I. - Well, thank you. Do you think I'm not grateful to you? - Anatole sighed and hugged Dologov. "I helped you, but still I should tell you that it is dangerous and, if you disassemble, stupid." Well, you take her away, good. Will it leave this so much? The business is that you are married. After all, you will be submitted for the criminal court ... - Ah! Stupidity, stupidity! - again wriggling anatole spoke. - After all, I interpreted you. BUT? - And anatole with those special addiction (which happens to people stupid) to the conclusion, which they reach their mind, repeated the reasoning, which he once again repeated Dolohov. - After all, I interpreted you, I decided: if this marriage would be invalid, - he said, bending a finger, "it means I do not answer; Well, if valid, anyway: abroad no one will know it, well, so? And do not say, do not say, do not say! - Right, throw! You only tie yourself ... "Get out to Chort," said Anatol and, holding the hair, went out into another room and immediately returned and sat down with his feet on the chair close to Dolokhov. - This is Chort know what is! BUT? You look like beats! - He took the hand of Dologov and attached to his heart. - AH! QUEL PIED, MON CHER, QUEL REGARD! Une Desese !! [ABOUT! What leg, my friend, what look! Goddess !!] a? Shelokhov, coldly smiling and brightly with his beautiful, impudent eyes, looked at him, apparently wanting to have enough to have fun. - Well, the money will come out, then what? - What then? BUT? - repeated Anatol with sincere bewilderment before the thought of the future. - What then? There I do not know what ... Well, it's stupid to talk! - He looked at the clock. - It's time! Anatole went to the back room. - Well, will you soon? Draw here! - he shouted for servants. Shelokhov removed the money and shouting the man to be told to eat and drink on the road, entered the room where the tails and macarine were sitting. Anatole lay in the office, leaning on his hand, on the sofa, smiled thoughtfully and she whispered gently to himself with his beautiful mouth. - Go, eat something. Well drink! - shouted to him from another room of Polokhov. - I do not want! - answered Anatol, all continuing to smile. - Go, Baiga arrived. Anatol got up and entered the dining room. Balag was a well-known threefold bar, six years old knew Dologov and Anatol, and served them with his top three. Once he, when the regiment of Anatol was stood in Tver, from the evening he took him out of Tver, he delivered to Moscow to Moscow and took the other day at night. More than once he hosted Dolokhov from chase, more than once, he was on the city of Kori with the Gypsies and ladies, as Baigalag called. More than once, he pressed the people and cabrs in Moscow in Moscow, and his Lord had always brought him down, as he called them. Not one horse he drove beneath them. More than once he was a bit, more than once they attacked his champagne and Mader, who he loved, and not one thing he knew for each of them, which Siberia would have deserved an ordinary person long ago. In the kits, they often called Balagu, forced him to drink and dance in Gypsy, and not one thousand of their money went through his hands. Serve, he risked twenty times a year and his life and his skin, and on their work argued more horses than they were overpayed by money. But he loved them, loved this insane ride, to eighteen a moss per hour, loved to rejected the cab driver and crush a pedestrian in Moscow, and to fly through the Moscow streets in the entire SC. He loved to hear this wild cry of drunken voices: "I went! Went! " whereas it was impossible to go shiber; He loved to pull painfully on her peasant, who was not alive, neither was dead by him. "Real Lord!" He thought.
