Countess, I have acted wrongly, Denisov went on in a breaking voice, but believe me, I so adore your daughter and all your family that Id give my life twice over He looked at the countess and noticed her stern face. Well, good-bye, countess, he said, kissing her hand, and without glancing at Natasha he walked with rapid and resolute steps out of the room. After Denisovs departure Rostov spent another fortnight in Moscow, waiting for the money to pay his debt, which the count was unable to raise all at once. He hardly left the house, and spent most of his time in the young girls room. Sonya was more affectionate and devoted to him then ever. She seemed to want to show him that his loss at cards was an exploit for which she loved him more than ever. But now Nikolay regarded himself as unworthy of her. He copied music for the girls, and wrote verses in their albums, and after at last sending off all the forty- three thousand roubles, and receiving Dolohovs receipt for it, he left Moscow towards the end of November without taking leave of any of his acquaintances, and overtook his regiment, which was already in Poland. |
