An excerpt characterizing Richards Bay

"Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen ..." she said, counting on thin fingers. - Okay! So over?
And the smile of joy and calm illuminated her busy face.
- Preen! - said Boris.
- Forever and ever? - the girl said. - To death?
And, taking it at hand, she with a happy face quietly went with him next to the sofa.

Countess is so tired of visits, which did not tell anyone else, and the Swiss was ordered only to call certainly to eat all who will still come with congratulations. Countess, I wanted to talk with the eye to the eye to talk with a friend of my childhood, the princess of Anna Mikhailovna, which she did not see carefully from her arrival from St. Petersburg. Anna Mikhailovna, with his appointed and enjoyable face, moved closer to the Countess chair.
"I will be completely frank with you," said Anna Mikhailovna. - There are few days left, old friends! From this, I'm so rushing your friendship.
Anna Mikhailovna looked at faith and stopped. Countess shook his hand to his friend.
"Faith," said the Countess, turning to the eldest daughter, obviously unloved. - How do you have no idea? Don't you feel that you are excess here? Some sisters, or ...
Beautiful faith smiled contemptuously, apparently not feeling not the slightest insult.
"If you were told me for a long time, Mama, I would immediately leave," she said, and went to his room.
But, passing by the sofa, she noticed that two pairs were symmetrically sat in her two winds. She stopped and smiled contemptuously. Sonya was sitting near Nikolai, who rewritten poems to her, for the first time those composed by him. Boris and Natasha sat for another window and silenced when Vera entered. Sonya and Natasha with guilty and happy persons looked at faith.
It was fun and touching to look at these girls in love, but the appearance of them obviously did not excite in faith of a pleasant feeling.
"How many times I asked you," she said, "do not take my things, you have your own room."
She took from Nicholas inklinitsa.
"Now, now," he said, mock feather.
"You all know how to do not during," Belief said. - they came running to the living room, so everyone matked for you.
Despite the fact, or it was precisely because it was said quite fairly, no one answered her, and all four were overloaded with each other. She slowed into the room with the inkwell in his hand.
- And what can be in your years secrets between Natasha and Boris and between you, are all alone nonsense!
- Well, what do you know, faith? - A quiet voice, Natasha interpretedly.
She, apparently, was to all more than always, on this day of good and gentle.
"Very stupid," faith said, "I feel for you." What are the secrets? ...
- Everyone has their own secrets. We do not touch you with Berg, "Natasha said to grind.
"I think, do not touch," Belief said, "because in my actions never can be bad." But I will say Mama, how you come around with Boris.
"Natalia Ilyinishna cost me very well," said Boris. "I can't complain," he said.
- Leave, Boris, you are such a diplomat (the word diplomat was in a big way in children in the special meaning as they attached to this word); Even boring, "Natasha said offended, trembling voice. - What is she sticking to me? You will never understand this, "she said, turning to faith," because you never loved anyone; You have no heart, you're just Madame de Genlis [Madame Zhanlis] (this nickname, which was considered very offensive, was given to faith Nikolai), and your first pleasure is to make trouble to others. You're Kakenchay with Berg, how much do you want, "she said soon.
- Yes, I really do not come to the guests to run for a young man ...
"Well, I achieved my own," Nikolai intervened, "he said all the troubles, upset everyone. Come in the nursery.
All four, as a logged flock of birds, rose and went from the room.
"I spent trouble, and I anything," said Vera.
- Madame de Genlis! Madame de Genlis! - said laughing voices from behind the door.
Beautiful faith that produced at all such an annoying, unpleasant action, smiled and apparently not affected by what she was said, went to the mirror and reconciled the scarf and hairstyle. Looking at her beautiful face, she began to see, even colder and calmer.
