1 Now our Natasha has come to life.
2 The arrangements for Natasha's marriage occupied him for a while.
3 "No, Mamma, he doesn't want to sleep," said little Natasha with conviction.
4 "You can see the woman in her already," she said in French, pointing to little Natasha.
5 Natasha had been staying at her brother's with her husband and children since early autumn.
6 Once she had a talk with her friend Natasha about Sonya and about her own injustice toward her.
7 Natasha and Pierre were living in Petersburg at the time and had no clear idea of Nicholas' circumstances.
8 All who had known Natasha before her marriage wondered at the change in her as at something extraordinary.
9 Natasha on the contrary had at once abandoned all her witchery, of which her singing had been an unusually powerful part.
10 She had grown stouter and broader, so that it was difficult to recognize in this robust, motherly woman the slim, lively Natasha of former days.
11 Though Countess Mary told Natasha that those words in the Gospel must be understood differently, yet looking at Sonya she agreed with Natasha's explanation.
12 Since their marriage Natasha and her husband had lived in Moscow, in Petersburg, on their estate near Moscow, or with her mother, that is to say, in Nicholas' house.

14 The events of the previous year: the burning of Moscow and the flight from it, the death of Prince Andrew, Natasha's despair, Petya's death, and the old countess' grief fell blow after blow on the old count's head.
15 The subject which wholly engrossed Natasha's attention was her family: that is, her husband whom she had to keep so that he should belong entirely to her and to the home, and the children whom she had to bear, bring into the world, nurse, and bring up.
16 At that table were his mother, his mother's old lady companion Belova, his wife, their three children with their governess and tutor, his wife's nephew with his tutor, Sonya, Denisov, Natasha, her three children, their governess, and old Michael Ivanovich, the late prince's architect, who was living on in retirement at Bald Hills.
17 Natasha did not follow the golden rule advocated by clever folk, especially by the French, which says that a girl should not let herself go when she marries, should not neglect her accomplishments, should be even more careful of her appearance than when she was unmarried, and should fascinate her husband as much as she did before he became her husband.
