You
will
be
surprised
to
hear
that
the
reason
for
this
is
Buonaparte
!
The
case
is
this
:
my
father
's
health
is
growing
noticeably
worse
,
he
can
not
stand
any
contradiction
and
is
becoming
irritable
.
This
irritability
is
,
as
you
know
,
chiefly
directed
to
political
questions
.
He
can
not
endure
the
notion
that
Buonaparte
is
negotiating
on
equal
terms
with
all
the
sovereigns
of
Europe
and
particularly
with
our
own
,
the
grandson
of
the
Great
Catherine
!
As
you
know
,
I
am
quite
indifferent
to
politics
,
but
from
my
father
's
remarks
and
his
talks
with
Michael
Ivánovich
I
know
all
that
goes
on
in
the
world
and
especially
about
the
honors
conferred
on
Buonaparte
,
who
only
at
Bald
Hills
in
the
whole
world
,
it
seems
,
is
not
accepted
as
a
great
man
,
still
less
as
Emperor
of
France
.
And
my
father
can
not
stand
this
.
It
seems
to
me
that
it
is
chiefly
because
of
his
political
views
that
my
father
is
reluctant
to
speak
of
going
to
Moscow
;
for
he
foresees
the
encounters
that
would
result
from
his
way
of
expressing
his
views
regardless
of
anybody
.
All
the
benefit
he
might
derive
from
a
course
of
treatment
he
would
lose
as
a
result
of
the
disputes
about
Buonaparte
which
would
be
inevitable
.
In
any
case
it
will
be
decided
very
shortly
.
Our
family
life
goes
on
in
the
old
way
except
for
my
brother
Andrew
's
absence
.
He
,
as
I
wrote
you
before
,
has
changed
very
much
of
late
.
After
his
sorrow
he
only
this
year
quite
recovered
his
spirits
.
He
has
again
become
as
I
used
to
know
him
when
a
child
:
kind
,
affectionate
,
with
that
heart
of
gold
to
which
I
know
no
equal
.
He
has
realized
,
it
seems
to
me
,
that
life
is
not
over
for
him
But
together
with
this
mental
change
he
has
grown
physically
much
weaker
.
He
has
become
thinner
and
more
nervous
.
I
am
anxious
about
him
and
glad
he
is
taking
this
trip
abroad
which
the
doctors
recommended
long
ago
.
I
hope
it
will
cure
him
.
You
write
that
in
Petersburg
he
is
spoken
of
as
one
of
the
most
active
,
cultivated
,
and
capable
of
the
young
men
.
Forgive
my
vanity
as
a
relation
,
but
I
never
doubted
it
.
The
good
he
has
done
to
everybody
here
,
from
his
peasants
up
to
the
gentry
,
is
incalculable
.
On
his
arrival
in
Petersburg
he
received
only
his
due
.
I
always
wonder
at
the
way
rumors
fly
from
Petersburg
to
Moscow
,
especially
such
false
ones
as
that
you
write
about
--
I
mean
the
report
of
my
brother
's
betrothal
to
the
little
Rostóva
.
I
do
not
think
my
brother
will
ever
marry
again
,
and
certainly
not
her
;
and
this
is
why
:
first
,
I
know
that
though
he
rarely
speaks
about
the
wife
he
has
lost
,
the
grief
of
that
loss
has
gone
too
deep
in
his
heart
for
him
ever
to
decide
to
give
her
a
successor
and
our
little
angel
a
stepmother
.
Secondly
because
,
as
far
as
I
know
,
that
girl
is
not
the
kind
of
girl
who
could
please
Prince
Andrew
.
I
do
not
think
he
would
choose
her
for
a
wife
,
and
frankly
I
do
not
wish
it
.
But
I
am
running
on
too
long
and
am
at
the
end
of
my
second
sheet
.
Good-by
,
my
dear
friend
.
May
God
keep
you
in
His
holy
and
mighty
care
.
My
dear
friend
,
Mademoiselle
Bourienne
,
sends
you
kisses
.

MARY
In
the
middle
of
the
summer
Princess
Mary
received
an
unexpected
letter
from
Prince
Andrew
in
Switzerland
in
which
he
gave
her
strange
and
surprising
news
.
He
informed
her
of
his
engagement
to
Natásha
Rostóva
.
The
whole
letter
breathed
loving
rapture
for
his
betrothed
and
tender
and
confiding
affection
for
his
sister
.
He
wrote
that
he
had
never
loved
as
he
did
now
and
that
only
now
did
he
understand
and
know
what
life
was
.
He
asked
his
sister
to
forgive
him
for
not
having
told
her
of
his
resolve
when
he
had
last
visited
Bald
Hills
,
though
he
had
spoken
of
it
to
his
father
.
He
had
not
done
so
for
fear
Princess
Mary
should
ask
her
father
to
give
his
consent
,
irritating
him
and
having
to
bear
the
brunt
of
his
displeasure
without
attaining
her
object
.
"
Besides
,
"
he
wrote
,
"
the
matter
was
not
then
so
definitely
settled
as
it
is
now
.
My
father
then
insisted
on
a
delay
of
a
year
and
now
already
six
months
,
half
of
that
period
,
have
passed
,
and
my
resolution
is
firmer
than
ever
.
If
the
doctors
did
not
keep
me
here
at
the
spas
I
should
be
back
in
Russia
,
but
as
it
is
I
have
to
postpone
my
return
for
three
months
.
You
know
me
and
my
relations
with
Father
.
I
want
nothing
from
him
.
I
have
been
and
always
shall
be
independent
;
but
to
go
against
his
will
and
arouse
his
anger
,
now
that
he
may
perhaps
remain
with
us
such
a
short
time
,
would
destroy
half
my
happiness
.
I
am
now
writing
to
him
about
the
same
question
,
and
beg
you
to
choose
a
good
moment
to
hand
him
the
letter
and
to
let
me
know
how
he
looks
at
the
whole
matter
and
whether
there
is
hope
that
he
may
consent
to
reduce
the
term
by
four
months
.
"
After
long
hesitations
,
doubts
,
and
prayers
,
Princess
Mary
gave
the
letter
to
her
father
.
The
next
day
the
old
prince
said
to
her
quietly
:

"
Write
and
tell
your
brother
to
wait
till
I
am
dead
...
It
wo
n't
be
long
--
I
shall
soon
set
him
free
.
"
The
princess
was
about
to
reply
,
but
her
father
would
not
let
her
speak
and
,
raising
his
voice
more
and
more
,
cried
:
"
Marry
,
marry
,
my
boy
!
...
A
good
family
!
...
Clever
people
,
eh
?
Rich
,
eh
?
Yes
,
a
nice
stepmother
little
Nicholas
will
have
!
Write
and
tell
him
that
he
may
marry
tomorrow
if
he
likes
.
She
will
be
little
Nicholas
'
stepmother
and
I
'll
marry
Bourienne
!
...
Ha
,
ha
,
ha
!
He
must
n't
be
without
a
stepmother
either
!
Only
one
thing
,
no
more
women
are
wanted
in
my
house
--
let
him
marry
and
live
by
himself
.
Perhaps
you
will
go
and
live
with
him
too
?
"
he
added
,
turning
to
Princess
Mary
.
"
Go
in
heaven
's
name
!
Go
out
into
the
frost
...
the
frost
...
the
frost
!
"
