The next day she proceeded to the execution of his plan, sent to the market to buy a thick cloth, blue nankeen and copper pugovok, With the present tailor his shirt and sundress, I planted for sewing all the maiden, and by evening everything was ready. Lisa has tried to update and confessed before the mirror, that never before had so sweet itself did not seem. She repeated the role, to go low and bowed several times and then shakes his head, like clay cats, He spoke peasant dialect, laughing, closing sleeve, and earned the full approval of Nastya. One makes it difficult to: she tried was to go around the yard barefoot, but the turf pricked her tender feet, and the sand and pebbles seemed to her intolerable. Nastya and then she helped: she took the measure of Lisa's legs, I ran into the field to the shepherd Trofim and ordered him a pair of bast shoes for the measure. Next day, daybreak, Lisa was awake. The whole house was still asleep. Nastya was waiting outside the gate a shepherd. I started playing the horn, and rustic herd reached past the manor court. Trofim, passing in front of Nastia, I gave her little colorful sandals and received from her half a ruble in awarding. Lisa quietly dressed peasant women, Nastya whispered gave his instructions concerning Miss Jackson, He came out on the back porch and ran through the garden in the.
The dawn shone in the east, and the golden ranks of clouds, it seemed, We expect the sun, like courtiers await the Emperor; clear sky, morning freshness, Dew, the breeze and the singing of birds filled Lisa's heart infant gaiety; fearing some familiar meetings, she, it seemed, It was not, and flew. Approaching the grove, standing at the turn of his father's possessions, Lisa went quieter. There she had to expect Alexei. Her heart was pounding, itself without knowing why; but fear, accompanying our young leprosy, and is home of charm. Lisa entered the twilight groves. Deaf, erratic noise greeted her Woman. Her gaiety quieted. Little by little, she surrendered to the sweet dreaminess. She thought ... but is it possible to determine with accuracy, He is thinking about a seventeen year old girl, one, in a grove, at six o'clock in the morning of the spring? so, she was walking, thinking, on the way to, overshadowing both sides by tall trees, when suddenly a great setter dog barked at her. Lisa was frightened and cried. At the same time a voice: all beautiful, Sbogar, ici ... # and the young hunter appeared from behind a bush. "Probably, Darling, - he said to Lisa, - My dog will not bite '. Lisa has already managed to recover from her fright and was able to immediately take advantage of the circumstances. "Well no, his, - she said, pretending poluispugannoy, poluzastenchivoy, - I'm afraid: she, vish, so angry; He will throw again ". Alexey (the reader has already learned his) meanwhile he gazed at the young peasant girl. "I'll see you, if you're afraid, - he said to her,; - you let me go near him?"-" And who prevents those? - replied Lisa, - of free will, and the road worldly ". - "Where are you from?"-" From Priluchina; I am the daughter of Vassily the blacksmith, I go for mushrooms " (Lisa kuzovok carried on a string). "And you, his? Tugilovsky, whether?" - "Sure, - posted Alexey, - I valet young master ". Alex wanted to equalize their relationship. But Lisa looked at him and laughed,. "A lie, - she said, - not to fool attacked. I see, that you yourself are a gentleman ". - "Why do you think so?"-" Yes, around ". - "But w?"-" But how can master a servant I do not recognize? And wearing something wrong, and otherwise baish, and the dog-klichesh not our way ". Lisa grew more and more liked Alexei. Accustomed not to stand on ceremony with pretty poselyankami, He had wanted to hug her; but Liza jumped away from him and suddenly took on such a strict and cold view, that although it amused Alexei, but kept him from further attacks. "If you want to, that we were ahead buddies, - she said, the importance of, - it is not all right to be forgotten ". - "Who taught you this wisdom? - said Alexey, burst out laughing. - with no nastenka li, my friend, if your young lady girl? Here are ways in which education is distributed!"Lisa felt, that was left of his role, and immediately corrected. "And what do you think? - she said, - Am I on the manor yard never happen? I suppose: all had heard and seen enough. but, - she continued, - talking with you, mushrooms do not rack up. Go-ka you, his, to the side, and I'm in another. Ask for forgiveness ... "Lisa wanted to retire, Alex held her hand. "What's your name, my soul?"-" Akulina, - replied Lisa, trying to free my fingers from hands Alexeeva; - to let the f, his; me time to go home ". - "Well,, my friend Akulina, will certainly to visit your priest, Vasily-smith ". - "What are you? - she replied eagerly Lisa, - like Christ, not revenue. If the house will learn, I'm a gentleman in a grove chatted alone, then I will trouble; my father, Basil-smith, will beat me to death ". - "Yes, I definitely want to see you again". - "Well I'll ever come back here for mushrooms". - "When?"-" Yes, tomorrow ". - "Dear Akulina, to kiss you, but I do not dare. So tomorrow, at that time, isn't it true?" - "Yes, Yes". - "And you can not fool me?"-" not cheating ". - "swear". - "Well, these are the Holy Friday, Attending ".
Young people have left. Lisa came out of the woods, He moved through the field, He crept into the garden and ran headlong into the farm, where Nastya was expecting her. There she changed, distractedly answering questions impatient confidante, and it was in the living room. The table was set, breakfast is ready, and Miss Jackson, already nabelennaya and laced into a glass, narezyvala thin tarts. Father praised her for a walk early. "There is nothing healthier, - he said, - how to wake up at dawn ". Then he gave several examples of human longevity, drawn from the English magazine, oblivious, that all people, who lived over a hundred years, We did not use the vodka and rose at the beginning of winter and summer. Lisa was not listening. She repeated in thoughts all the circumstances of the morning goodbye, Akulina entire conversation with a young hunter, and conscience began to torment her. In vain she protested herself, that their conversation did not leave the boundaries of decency, that the prank would not have any implications, her conscience murmur louder her mind. Promise, given it for tomorrow, just more worried about her: she was quite decided not to keep his solemn oath. but Alex, after waiting for it in vain, I could go to find in the village of Vasili's daughter-smith, nastoyaschuyu Akulynu, thick, pockmarked girl, and thus to guess about her thoughtless prank. The thought horrified Lisa, and she decided to come back the next morning in a grove Akulina.
