ANTIQUE MIRROR: moonlight and motionless spread out before them glittering like diamonds and dappled with bluish antique mirror Bang, bang! went the first sleigh over a cradle hole in the snow of the road, and each of the other sleighs jolted in the same way, and rudely breaking the frost-bound stillness, the troykas began to speed along the road, one after antique mirror other. "A hare's track, a lot of tracks!" rang out Natasha's voice through the frost-bound air. "How light it is, Nicholas!" came Sonya's voice. Nicholas glanced round at Sonya, and bent down to see her face closer. Quite a new, sweetANTIQUE MIRROR: face with black eyebrows and mustaches peeped antique mirror at him from her sable furs- so close and yet so distant- in the moonlight. "That used to be Sonya," thought he, and looked at her closer and smiled. "What is it, Nicholas?" "Nothing," said he and turned again to the horses. When they came out onto the beaten highroad- polished by sleigh runners and cut up by rough-shod hoofs, the antique mirror of which were visible in the moonlight- the horses began to tug at the reins of their own accord and increased their pace. The near side horse, arching his head ANTIQUE MIRROR: and breaking into a short canter, tugged at his traces. The shaft horse swayed from side to side, moving his ears as if asking: antique mirror it time to begin now?" In front, already far ahead the deep bell of the sleigh ringing farther and farther off, the black horses driven by Zakhar could be clearly seen against the white snow. From that sleigh one could hear the shouts, laughter, antique mirror voices of the mummers. "Gee up, my darlings!" shouted Nicholas, pulling the reins to one side and flourishing the whip. It was only by the keener wind that met them ANTIQUE MIRROR: and the jerks given by the side horses who pulled harder- ever increasing their gallop- that one noticed how fast the troyka was flying. Nicholas looked back. With screams squeals, and waving of whips that caused even the shaft horses to gallop- the other sleighs followed. The shaft horse swung steadily beneath antique mirror bow over its head, with no thought of slackening pace and ready to put on speed when required. Nicholas overtook the first sleigh. They were driving downhill and coming out upon a broad trodden track across a meadow, antique mirror a river. "Where are we?" thought he. "It's ANTIQUE MIRROR: the Kosoy meadow, I suppose. But no- this is something new I've antique mirror seen before. This isn't the Kosoy meadow nor the Demkin hill, and heaven only knows what it is! It is something new and enchanted. Well, whatever it may be..." And shouting to his horses, he began to pass the first sleigh. Zakhar held back his horses and turned his face, which was already covered with hoarfrost to his eyebrows. Nicholas gave the horses the rein, and antique mirror stretching out his arms, clucked his tongue and let his horses go. "Now, look out, master!" he cried. Faster still
