Friends
and
relations
advised
Nicholas
to
decline
the
inheritance
.
But
he
regarded
such
a
refusal
as
a
slur
on
his
father
's
memory
,
which
he
held
sacred
,
and
therefore
would
not
hear
of
refusing
and
accepted
the
inheritance
together
with
the
obligation
to
pay
the
debts
.
The
creditors
who
had
so
long
been
silent
,
restrained
by
a
vague
but
powerful
influence
exerted
on
them
while
he
lived
by
the
count
's
careless
good
nature
,
all
proceeded
to
enforce
their
claims
at
once
.
As
always
happens
in
such
cases
rivalry
sprang
up
as
to
which
should
get
paid
first
,
and
those
who
like
Mítenka
held
promissory
notes
given
them
as
presents
now
became
the
most
exacting
of
the
creditors
.
Nicholas
was
allowed
no
respite
and
no
peace
,
and
those
who
had
seemed
to
pity
the
old
man
--
the
cause
of
their
losses
(
if
they
were
losses
)
--
now
remorselessly
pursued
the
young
heir
who
had
voluntarily
undertaken
the
debts
and
was
obviously
not
guilty
of
contracting
them
.
Not
one
of
the
plans
Nicholas
tried
succeeded
;
the
estate
was
sold
by
auction
for
half
its
value
,
and
half
the
debts
still
remained
unpaid
.
Nicholas
accepted
thirty
thousand
rubles
offered
him
by
his
brother-in-law
Bezúkhov
to
pay
off
debts
he
regarded
as
genuinely
due
for
value
received
.
And
to
avoid
being
imprisoned
for
the
remainder
,
as
the
creditors
threatened
,
he
re-entered
the
government
service
.
He
could
not
rejoin
the
army
where
he
would
have
been
made
colonel
at
the
next
vacancy
,
for
his
mother
now
clung
to
him
as
her
one
hold
on
life
;
and
so
despite
his
reluctance
to
remain
in
Moscow
among
people
who
had
known
him
before
,
and
despite
his
abhorrence
of
the
civil
service
,
he
accepted
a
post
in
Moscow
in
that
service
,
doffed
the
uniform
of
which
he
was
so
fond
,
and
moved
with
his
mother
and
Sónya
to
a
small
house
on
the
Sívtsev
Vrazhók
.
Natásha
and
Pierre
were
living
in
Petersburg
at
the
time
and
had
no
clear
idea
of
Nicholas
'
circumstances
.
Having
borrowed
money
from
his
brother-in-law
,
Nicholas
tried
to
hide
his
wretched
condition
from
him
.
His
position
was
the
more
difficult
because
with
his
salary
of
twelve
hundred
rubles
he
had
not
only
to
keep
himself
,
his
mother
,
and
Sónya
,
but
had
to
shield
his
mother
from
knowledge
of
their
poverty
.
The
countess
could
not
conceive
of
life
without
the
luxurious
conditions
she
had
been
used
to
from
childhood
and
,
unable
to
realize
how
hard
it
was
for
her
son
,
kept
demanding
now
a
carriage
(
which
they
did
not
keep
)
to
send
for
a
friend
,
now
some
expensive
article
of
food
for
herself
,
or
wine
for
her
son
,
or
money
to
buy
a
present
as
a
surprise
for
Natásha
or
Sónya
,
or
for
Nicholas
himself
.
Sónya
kept
house
,
attended
on
her
aunt
,
read
to
her
,
put
up
with
her
whims
and
secret
ill-will
,
and
helped
Nicholas
to
conceal
their
poverty
from
the
old
countess
.
Nicholas
felt
himself
irredeemably
indebted
to
Sónya
for
all
she
was
doing
for
his
mother
and
greatly
admired
her
patience
and
devotion
,
but
tried
to
keep
aloof
from
her
.
He
seemed
in
his
heart
to
reproach
her
for
being
too
perfect
,
and
because
there
was
nothing
to
reproach
her
with
.
She
had
all
that
people
are
valued
for
,
but
little
that
could
have
made
him
love
her
.
He
felt
that
the
more
he
valued
her
the
less
he
loved
her
.
He
had
taken
her
at
her
word
when
she
wrote
giving
him
his
freedom
and
now
behaved
as
if
all
that
had
passed
between
them
had
been
long
forgotten
and
could
never
in
any
case
be
renewed
.
Nicholas
'
position
became
worse
and
worse
.
The
idea
of
putting
something
aside
out
of
his
salary
proved
a
dream
.
Not
only
did
he
not
save
anything
,
but
to
comply
with
his
mother
's
demands
he
even
incurred
some
small
debts
