You are breaking her in yourself ... and they say it's so hard! 'To give you the least pleasure, you know, Natalya Alexyevna, I am ready... I... not in such trifles Volintsev grew confused. Natalya looked at him with friendly encouragement, and again said 'merci!
Konstantin Diomiditch took his seat at the piano, and played the etude very fairly well. Natalya Alexyevna at first listened attentively, then she bent over her work again. 'Merci, c'est charmant, observed Darya Mihailovna, 'I love Thalberg. Il est si distingue. What are you thinking of, African Semenitch?
Pigasov smiled ironically. A footman came in and announced the arrival of Alexandra Pavlovna and her brother. Darya Mihailovna rose to meet her guests. 'How do you do, Alexandrine? she began, going up to her, 'how good of you to come!... How are you, Sergei Pavlitch? Volintsev shook hands with Darya Mihailovna and went up to Natalya Alexyevna.
How grateful I am to the baron for having made me acquainted with you! And Darya Mihailovna held out her hand to Rudin. He first pressed it, then raised it to his lips and went away to the drawing-room and from there to the terrace. On the terrace he met Natalya. Darya Mihailovna's daughter, Natalya Alexyevna, at a first glance might fail to please.
'You should not say that, Natalya Alexyevna; your playing is not at all inferior to mine. 'Do you know Schubert's "Erlkonig"? asked Rudin. 'He knows it, he knows it! interposed Darya Mihailovna. 'Sit down, Konstantin. You are fond of music, Dmitri Nikolaitch? Rudin only made a slight motion of the head and ran his hand through his hair, as though disposing himself to listen.
You mean there is no hope? 'None. 'Why should we be so unhappy! That abominable Pandalevsky!... You ask me, Natalya Alexyevna, what I intend to do? My head is going round I cannot take in anything... I can feel nothing but my unhappiness... I am amazed that you can preserve such self-possession! 'Do you think it is easy for me? said Natalya. Rudin began to walk along the bank.
They admired it, and at the same time they were sorry that this man with the kind, clever eyes, who had told them this story with such genuine feeling, should be rushing round and round this huge estate like a squirrel on a wheel instead of devoting himself to science or something else which would have made his life more pleasant; and they thought what a sorrowful face Anna Alexyevna must have had when he said good-bye to her in the railway-carriage and kissed her face and shoulders.
Natalya uttered all this in an even, almost expressionless voice. 'And you, Natalya Alexyevna, what did you answer? asked Rudin. 'What did I answer? repeated Natalya.... 'What do you intend to do now? 'Good God, good God! replied Rudin, 'it is cruel! So soon... such a sudden blow!... And is your mother in such indignation? 'Yes, yes, she will not hear of you. 'It is terrible!
But at this point my sister arrived. Seeing the doctor she was fluttered and troubled, and began saying immediately that it was time for her to go home to her father. "Kleopatra Alexyevna," said Blagovo earnestly, pressing both hands to his heart, "what will happen to your father if you spend half an hour or so with your brother and me?"
And imagining that everyone was looking at her and waiting for her appearance, with a trembling hand she smoothed back her hair and said to me: "I shall certainly make a mess of it. . . . What a load on my heart, if only you knew! I feel frightened, as though I were just going to be led to execution." At last her turn came. "Kleopatra Alexyevna, it's your cue!" said the stage manager.
