The
country
seat
at
Bald
Hills
had
been
rebuilt
,
though
not
on
the
same
scale
as
under
the
old
prince
.
The
buildings
,
begun
under
straitened
circumstances
,
were
more
than
simple
.
The
immense
house
on
the
old
stone
foundations
was
of
wood
,
plastered
only
inside
.
It
had
bare
deal
floors
and
was
furnished
with
very
simple
hard
sofas
,
armchairs
,
tables
,
and
chairs
made
by
their
own
serf
carpenters
out
of
their
own
birchwood
.
The
house
was
spacious
and
had
rooms
for
the
house
serfs
and
apartments
for
visitors
.
Whole
families
of
the
Rostóvs
'
and
Bolkónskis
'
relations
sometimes
came
to
Bald
Hills
with
sixteen
horses
and
dozens
of
servants
and
stayed
for
months
.
Besides
that
,
four
times
a
year
,
on
the
name
days
and
birthdays
of
the
hosts
,
as
many
as
a
hundred
visitors
would
gather
there
for
a
day
or
two
.
The
rest
of
the
year
life
pursued
its
unbroken
routine
with
its
ordinary
occupations
,
and
its
breakfasts
,
lunches
,
dinners
,
and
suppers
,
provided
out
of
the
produce
of
the
estate
.
It
was
the
eve
of
St.
Nicholas
,
the
fifth
of
December
,
1820
.
Natásha
had
been
staying
at
her
brother
's
with
her
husband
and
children
since
early
autumn
.
Pierre
had
gone
to
Petersburg
on
business
of
his
own
for
three
weeks
as
he
said
,
but
had
remained
there
nearly
seven
weeks
and
was
expected
back
every
minute
.

Besides
the
Bezúkhov
family
,
Nicholas
'
old
friend
the
retired
General
Vasíli
Dmítrich
Denísov
was
staying
with
the
Rostóvs
this
fifth
of
December
.
On
the
sixth
,
which
was
his
name
day
when
the
house
would
be
full
of
visitors
,
Nicholas
knew
he
would
have
to
exchange
his
Tartar
tunic
for
a
tail
coat
,
and
put
on
narrow
boots
with
pointed
toes
,
and
drive
to
the
new
church
he
had
built
,
and
then
receive
visitors
who
would
come
to
congratulate
him
,
offer
them
refreshments
,
and
talk
about
the
elections
of
the
nobility
;
but
he
considered
himself
entitled
to
spend
the
eve
of
that
day
in
his
usual
way
.
He
examined
the
bailiff
's
accounts
of
the
village
in
Ryazán
which
belonged
to
his
wife
's
nephew
,
wrote
two
business
letters
,
and
walked
over
to
the
granaries
,
cattle
yards
and
stables
before
dinner
.
Having
taken
precautions
against
the
general
drunkenness
to
be
expected
on
the
morrow
because
it
was
a
great
saint
's
day
,
he
returned
to
dinner
,
and
without
having
time
for
a
private
talk
with
his
wife
sat
down
at
the
long
table
laid
for
twenty
persons
,
at
which
the
whole
household
had
assembled
.
At
that
table
were
his
mother
,
his
mother
's
old
lady
companion
Belóva
,
his
wife
,
their
three
children
with
their
governess
and
tutor
,
his
wife
's
nephew
with
his
tutor
,
Sónya
,
Denísov
,
Natásha
,
her
three
children
,
their
governess
,
and
old
Michael
Ivánovich
,
the
late
prince
's
architect
,
who
was
living
on
in
retirement
at
Bald
Hills
.
Countess
Mary
sat
at
the
other
end
of
the
table
.
When
her
husband
took
his
place
she
concluded
,
from
the
rapid
manner
in
which
after
taking
up
his
table
napkin
he
pushed
back
the
tumbler
and
wineglass
standing
before
him
,
that
he
was
out
of
humor
,
as
was
sometimes
the
case
when
he
came
in
to
dinner
straight
from
the
farm
--
especially
before
the
soup
.
Countess
Mary
well
knew
that
mood
of
his
,
and
when
she
herself
was
in
a
good
frame
of
mind
quietly
waited
till
he
had
had
his
soup
and
then
began
to
talk
to
him
and
make
him
admit
that
there
was
no
cause
for
his
ill-humor
.
But
today
she
quite
forgot
that
and
was
hurt
that
he
should
be
angry
with
her
without
any
reason
,
and
she
felt
unhappy
.
She
asked
him
where
he
had
been
.
He
replied
.
She
again
inquired
whether
everything
was
going
well
on
the
farm
.
Her
unnatural
tone
made
him
wince
unpleasantly
and
he
replied
hastily
.

"
Then
I
'm
not
mistaken
,
"
thought
Countess
Mary
.
"
Why
is
he
cross
with
me
?
"
She
concluded
from
his
tone
that
he
was
vexed
with
her
and
wished
to
end
the
conversation
.
She
knew
her
remarks
sounded
unnatural
,
but
could
not
refrain
from
asking
some
more
questions
.
Thanks
to
Denísov
the
conversation
at
table
soon
became
general
and
lively
,
and
she
did
not
talk
to
her
husband
.
When
they
left
the
table
and
went
as
usual
to
thank
the
old
countess
,
Countess
Mary
held
out
her
hand
and
kissed
her
husband
,
and
asked
him
why
he
was
angry
with
her
.
