"
Where
is
she
?
"
asked
Bolkónski
.
"
Excuse
me
!
"
he
added
,
turning
to
the
baron
,
"
we
will
finish
this
conversation
elsewhere
--
at
a
ball
one
must
dance
.
"
He
stepped
forward
in
the
direction
Pierre
indicated
.
The
despairing
,
dejected
expression
of
Natásha
's
face
caught
his
eye
.
He
recognized
her
,
guessed
her
feelings
,
saw
that
it
was
her
début
,
remembered
her
conversation
at
the
window
,
and
with
an
expression
of
pleasure
on
his
face
approached
Countess
Rostóva
.
"
Allow
me
to
introduce
you
to
my
daughter
,
"
said
the
countess
,
with
heightened
color
.
"
I
have
the
pleasure
of
being
already
acquainted
,
if
the
countess
remembers
me
,
"
said
Prince
Andrew
with
a
low
and
courteous
bow
quite
belying
Perónskaya
's
remarks
about
his
rudeness
,
and
approaching
Natásha
he
held
out
his
arm
to
grasp
her
waist
before
he
had
completed
his
invitation
.
He
asked
her
to
waltz
.

That
tremulous
expression
on
Natásha
's
face
,
prepared
either
for
despair
or
rapture
,
suddenly
brightened
into
a
happy
,
grateful
,
childlike
smile
.
"
I
have
long
been
waiting
for
you
,
"
that
frightened
happy
little
girl
seemed
to
say
by
the
smile
that
replaced
the
threatened
tears
,
as
she
raised
her
hand
to
Prince
Andrew
's
shoulder
.
They
were
the
second
couple
to
enter
the
circle
.
Prince
Andrew
was
one
of
the
best
dancers
of
his
day
and
Natásha
danced
exquisitely
.
Her
little
feet
in
their
white
satin
dancing
shoes
did
their
work
swiftly
,
lightly
,
and
independently
of
herself
,
while
her
face
beamed
with
ecstatic
happiness
.
Her
slender
bare
arms
and
neck
were
not
beautiful
--
compared
to
Hélène
's
her
shoulders
looked
thin
and
her
bosom
undeveloped
.
But
Hélène
seemed
,
as
it
were
,
hardened
by
a
varnish
left
by
the
thousands
of
looks
that
had
scanned
her
person
,
while
Natásha
was
like
a
girl
exposed
for
the
first
time
,
who
would
have
felt
very
much
ashamed
had
she
not
been
assured
that
this
was
absolutely
necessary
Prince
Andrew
liked
dancing
,
and
wishing
to
escape
as
quickly
as
possible
from
the
political
and
clever
talk
which
everyone
addressed
to
him
,
wishing
also
to
break
up
the
circle
of
restraint
he
disliked
,
caused
by
the
Emperor
's
presence
,
he
danced
,
and
had
chosen
Natásha
because
Pierre
pointed
her
out
to
him
and
because
she
was
the
first
pretty
girl
who
caught
his
eye
;
but
scarcely
had
he
embraced
that
slender
supple
figure
and
felt
her
stirring
so
close
to
him
and
smiling
so
near
him
than
the
wine
of
her
charm
rose
to
his
head
,
and
he
felt
himself
revived
and
rejuvenated
when
after
leaving
her
he
stood
breathing
deeply
and
watching
the
other
dancers
.
After
Prince
Andrew
,
Borís
came
up
to
ask
Natásha
for
a
dance
,
and
then
the
aide-de-camp
who
had
opened
the
ball
,
and
several
other
young
men
,
so
that
,
flushed
and
happy
,
and
passing
on
her
superfluous
partners
to
Sónya
,
she
did
not
cease
dancing
all
the
evening
.
She
noticed
and
saw
nothing
of
what
occupied
everyone
else
.
Not
only
did
she
fail
to
notice
that
the
Emperor
talked
a
long
time
with
the
French
ambassador
,
and
how
particularly
gracious
he
was
to
a
certain
lady
,
or
that
Prince
So-and-so
and
So-and-so
did
and
said
this
and
that
,
and
that
Hélène
had
great
success
and
was
honored
by
the
special
attention
of
So-and-so
,
but
she
did
not
even
see
the
Emperor
,
and
only
noticed
that
he
had
gone
because
the
ball
became
livelier
after
his
departure
.
For
one
of
the
merry
cotillions
before
supper
Prince
Andrew
was
again
her
partner
.
He
reminded
her
of
their
first
encounter
in
the
Otrádnoe
avenue
,
and
how
she
had
been
unable
to
sleep
that
moonlight
night
,
and
told
her
how
he
had
involuntarily
overheard
her
.
Natásha
blushed
at
that
recollection
and
tried
to
excuse
herself
,
as
if
there
had
been
something
to
be
ashamed
of
in
what
Prince
Andrew
had
overheard
.

Like
all
men
who
have
grown
up
in
society
,
Prince
Andrew
liked
meeting
someone
there
not
of
the
conventional
society
stamp
.
And
such
was
Natásha
,
with
her
surprise
,
her
delight
,
her
shyness
,
and
even
her
mistakes
in
speaking
French
.
With
her
he
behaved
with
special
care
and
tenderness
,
sitting
beside
her
and
talking
of
the
simplest
and
most
unimportant
matters
;
he
admired
her
shy
grace
.
In
the
middle
of
the
cotillion
,
having
completed
one
of
the
figures
,
Natásha
,
still
out
of
breath
,
was
returning
to
her
seat
when
another
dancer
chose
her
.
She
was
tired
and
panting
and
evidently
thought
of
declining
,
but
immediately
put
her
hand
gaily
on
the
man
's
shoulder
,
smiling
at
Prince
Andrew
.
"
I
'd
be
glad
to
sit
beside
you
and
rest
:
I
'm
tired
;
but
you
see
how
they
keep
asking
me
,
and
I
'm
glad
of
it
,
I
'm
happy
and
I
love
everybody
,
and
you
and
I
understand
it
all
,
"
and
much
,
much
more
was
said
in
her
smile
.
When
her
partner
left
her
Natásha
ran
across
the
room
to
choose
two
ladies
for
the
figure
.
