Dimmler
,
who
had
seated
himself
beside
the
countess
,
listened
with
closed
eyes
.
"
Ah
,
Countess
,
"
he
said
at
last
,
"
that
's
a
European
talent
,
she
has
nothing
to
learn
--
what
softness
,
tenderness
,
and
strength
...
"
"
Ah
,
how
afraid
I
am
for
her
,
how
afraid
I
am
!
"
said
the
countess
,
not
realizing
to
whom
she
was
speaking
.

Her
maternal
instinct
told
her
that
Natásha
had
too
much
of
something
,
and
that
because
of
this
she
would
not
be
happy
.
Before
Natásha
had
finished
singing
,
fourteen-year-old
Pétya
rushed
in
delightedly
,
to
say
that
some
mummers
had
arrived
.
Natásha
stopped
abruptly
.
"
Idiot
!
"
she
screamed
at
her
brother
and
,
running
to
a
chair
,
threw
herself
on
it
,
sobbing
so
violently
that
she
could
not
stop
for
a
long
time
.
"
It
's
nothing
,
Mamma
,
really
it
's
nothing
;
only
Pétya
startled
me
,
"
she
said
,
trying
to
smile
,
but
her
tears
still
flowed
and
sobs
still
choked
her
.

The
mummers
(
some
of
the
house
serfs
)
dressed
up
as
bears
,
Turks
,
innkeepers
,
and
ladies
--
frightening
and
funny
--
bringing
in
with
them
the
cold
from
outside
and
a
feeling
of
gaiety
,
crowded
,
at
first
timidly
,
into
the
anteroom
,
then
hiding
behind
one
another
they
pushed
into
the
ballroom
where
,
shyly
at
first
and
then
more
and
more
merrily
and
heartily
,
they
started
singing
,
dancing
,
and
playing
Christmas
games
.
The
countess
,
when
she
had
identified
them
and
laughed
at
their
costumes
,
went
into
the
drawing
room
.
The
count
sat
in
the
ballroom
,
smiling
radiantly
and
applauding
the
players
.
The
young
people
had
disappeared
.
Half
an
hour
later
there
appeared
among
the
other
mummers
in
the
ballroom
an
old
lady
in
a
hooped
skirt
--
this
was
Nicholas
.
A
Turkish
girl
was
Pétya
.
A
clown
was
Dimmler
.
An
hussar
was
Natásha
,
and
a
Circassian
was
Sónya
with
burnt-cork
mustache
and
eyebrows
.
After
the
condescending
surprise
,
nonrecognition
,
and
praise
,
from
those
who
were
not
themselves
dressed
up
,
the
young
people
decided
that
their
costumes
were
so
good
that
they
ought
to
be
shown
elsewhere
.
