Christian charity,’ Njania answered in such a
temper, that Elena Paulovna was quite bewildered,
and hurried out of the room. And this was
Njania, who, a few hours previously, could have
almost killed Maria Vasiljevna in her anger!
After a few days, Maria recovered entirely, to
everybody’s satisfaction, and she continued living
with the Rajevskis as before. No more was said
about the past, not even among the servants.
As for Tania, ever after that day, she felt a
peculiar sympathy with Maria Vasiljevna, mixed
with a kind of terror. She did not visit her as
before, and when they met in the passage, she
involuntarily squeezed herself against the wall,
trying not to look at her—she was always afraid
that Maria Vasiljevna might fall down and begin
to scream.
Maria probably noticed that the child kept
aloof from her; and she tried every means to
win back her affection. She used to surprise
her with little presents: a fine silk rag, a new
dress for her doll, etc. But it was no use, the
secret terror remained, and Tania ran away as
soon as she was left alone with Maria Vasiljevna.
Besides, soon after, she came under the
influence of the new governess, who put an end
to her intercourse with the servants.
