An excerpt characterizing the Slavic State Pedagogical Institute (Kuban)

- A clean march! ... I knew it, - my uncle spoke (he was a distant relative, a poor neighbor of the Rostovs), - I knew that you couldn’t stand it, and it’s good that you were going. Pure business march! (That was my uncle's favorite saying.) - Take your order now, otherwise my Girchik reported that the Ilagins were willingly standing in Korniki; you have them - a clean march! - under the nose they will take a brood.
- I'm going there. What, bring down the flocks? - Nikolai asked, - dump ...
The hounds were united in one flock, and uncle and Nikolai rode side by side. Natasha, wrapped in kerchiefs, from under which a lively face with shining eyes could be seen, galloped up to them, accompanied by a hunter and a bereytor, who was assigned by the nanny with her, who did not lag behind her, Petya and Mikhaila. Petya laughed at something and beat and pulled his horse. Natasha deftly and confidently sat on her black Arab and with a sure hand, without effort, laid siege to him.
Uncle looked disapprovingly at Petya and Natasha. He did not like to combine pampering with the serious business of hunting.
- Hello, uncle, and we're going! Petya shouted.
“Hello, hello, but don’t pass the dogs,” my uncle said sternly.
- Nikolenka, what a lovely dog, Trunila! he recognized me,” Natasha said about her beloved hound dog.
“Trunila, first of all, is not a dog, but a survivor,” thought Nikolai and looked sternly at his sister, trying to make her feel the distance that should have separated them at that moment. Natasha understood this.
“You, uncle, don’t think that we interfere with anyone,” said Natasha. We stand where we are and don't move.
“And a good thing, countess,” said my uncle. “Just don’t fall off the horse,” he added, “otherwise it’s a pure march!” - nothing to hold on to.
The island of Otradnensky order could be seen a hundred fathoms away, and those arriving approached it. Rostov, finally deciding with his uncle where to throw the hounds from and showing Natasha a place where she should stand and where nothing could run, headed for the race over the ravine.
“Well, nephew, you’re becoming a seasoned one,” said the uncle: don’t iron (pickle).
- As it is necessary, answered Rostov. - Punish, fuit! he shouted, answering this call to the words of his uncle. Karay was an old and ugly, burly male, known for taking a seasoned wolf alone. Everyone got into place.
The old count, knowing his son's hunting fervor, hurried not to be late, and before the arrivals had time to drive up to the place, Ilya Andreevich, cheerful, ruddy, with trembling cheeks, on his crows, rolled through the greenery to the manhole left to him and, straightening his fur coat and putting on hunting shells, climbed onto his smooth, well-fed, meek and kind, gray-haired like him, Bethlyanka. The horses with the droshky were sent away. Count Ilya Andreich, although not a hunter by heart, but who knew the laws of hunting firmly, rode into the edge of the bushes from which he was standing, took apart the reins, straightened himself in the saddle and, feeling ready, looked around smiling.
Beside him stood his valet, an old but heavy rider, Semyon Chekmar. Chekmar kept in a pack of three dashing, but also fat, like the owner and the horse - wolfhounds. Two dogs, smart, old, lay down without a pack. About a hundred paces away in the edge of the forest stood the count's other aspirant, Mitka, a desperate rider and a passionate hunter. The count, according to an old habit, drank a silver glass of hunting casserole before the hunt, ate and washed down with a half bottle of his favorite Bordeaux.
Ilya Andreich was a little red from the wine and the ride; his eyes, covered with moisture, especially shone, and he, wrapped in a fur coat, sitting on the saddle, looked like a child who was gathered for a walk. Thin, with retracted cheeks, Chekmar, having settled down with his affairs, looked at the master with whom he had lived for 30 years in perfect harmony, and, understanding his pleasant mood, was waiting for a pleasant conversation. Another third person approached cautiously (it was obvious that it had already been learned) from behind the forest and stopped behind the count. The face was an old man in a gray beard, in a woman's bonnet and a high cap. It was the jester Nastasya Ivanovna.
“Well, Nastasya Ivanovna,” the count said in a whisper, winking at him, “just stomp the beast, Danilo will ask you.”
“I myself ... with a mustache,” said Nastasya Ivanovna.
- Shhhh! the count hissed and turned to Semyon.
Have you seen Natalya Ilyinichna? he asked Semyon. - Where's she?
“He and Pyotr Ilyich got up from the Zharovs weeds,” answered Semyon smiling. - Also ladies, but they have a big hunt.
“Are you surprised, Semyon, how she drives… huh?” - said the count, if only the man was in time!
- How not to wonder? Bold, smart.
- Where is Nikolasha? Above Lyadovsky top or what? the Count asked in a whisper.
- Yes, exactly. They already know where to be. They know the ride so subtly that Danila and I marvel at other times, ”Semyon said, knowing how to please the master.
- Drives well, doesn't it? And what is it like on a horse, huh?
- Paint a picture! As the other day from Zavarzinsky weeds they pushed the fox. They began to jump, from a lot, passion - a horse is a thousand rubles, but there is no price for a rider. Yes, look for such a young man!
“Look…” the count repeated, apparently regretting that Semyon’s speech ended so soon. – Search? he said, turning back the flaps of his fur coat and taking out a snuffbox.
- The other day, as from mass, they came out in all their regalia, so Mikhail then Sidorych ... - Semyon did not finish, hearing the rut clearly heard in the still air with the howling of no more than two or three hounds. He bowed his head, listened, and silently threatened his master. “They ran into a brood ...” he whispered, they led him straight to Lyadovskaya.
The count, forgetting to wipe the smile from his face, looked ahead of him into the distance along the lintel and, without sniffing, held a snuffbox in his hand. Following the barking of dogs, a voice was heard over the wolf, fed into Danila's bass horn; the flock joined the first three dogs, and one could hear how the voices of the hounds roared from the bay, with that special howl that served as a sign of the rut on the wolf. Those who arrived no longer squealed, but hooted, and from behind all the voices Danila's voice came out, now bassy, ​​now piercingly thin. Danila's voice seemed to fill the whole forest, came out from behind the forest and sounded far into the field.
After listening for several seconds in silence, the count and his stirrups were convinced that the hounds had split into two flocks: one large one, roaring especially fervently, began to move away, the other part of the flock rushed along the forest past the count, and with this flock Danila's hooting was heard. Both of these ruts merged, shimmered, but both moved away. Semyon sighed and bent down to straighten the bundle, in which the young male got entangled; the count also sighed, and noticing the snuff-box in his hand, he opened it and took out a pinch. "Back!" shouted Semyon at the male, which stepped out of the edge. The Count shuddered and dropped his snuffbox. Nastasya Ivanovna got down and began to lift her up.
The count and Semyon looked at him. Suddenly, as often happens, the sound of the rut instantly approached, as if, right in front of them, were the barking mouths of dogs and the hooting of Danila.
The count looked back and saw Mitka to the right, who was looking at the count with rolling eyes and, raising his hat, pointed him ahead, to the other side.
- Take care! he shouted in such a voice that it was clear that this word had long been painfully asking him to come out. And he galloped, releasing the dogs, towards the count.
The count and Semyon jumped out of the edge and to their left they saw a wolf, which, softly waddling, in a quiet hop jumped to the left of them to the very edge at which they were standing. The vicious dogs squealed and, breaking off the pack, rushed to the wolf past the legs of the horses.
The wolf stopped running, clumsily, like a sick toad, turned his broad-fronted head towards the dogs, and, also waddling softly, jumped once, twice, and, waving a log (tail), disappeared into the forest. At the same moment, one, another, a third hound jumped out of the opposite edge with a roar like a cry, and the whole flock rushed across the field, along the very place where the wolf crawled (ran). Following the hounds, the hazel bushes parted and Danila's brown horse, blackened with sweat, appeared. On her long back, in a lump, leaning forward, sat Danila without a hat, with gray, disheveled hair over a red, sweaty face.
“I will hoot, I will hoot!” he shouted. When he saw the count, lightning flashed in his eyes.
“F…” he shouted, threatening the count with his raised rapnik.
- About ... whether it's a wolf! ... hunters! - And as if not honoring the embarrassed, frightened count with further conversation, he, with all the anger prepared for the count, hit the brown gelding on the sunken wet sides and rushed after the hounds. The count, as if punished, stood looking around and trying with a smile to arouse in Semyon regret for his position. But Semyon was no longer there: he, in a detour through the bushes, jumped a wolf from the notch. Greyhounds also jumped over the beast from two sides. But the wolf went into the bushes and not a single hunter intercepted him.

Nikolai Rostov, meanwhile, stood in his place, waiting for the beast. By the approach and distance of the rut, by the sounds of the voices of the dogs known to him, by the approach, distance and elevation of the voices of those who arrived, he felt what was happening in the island. He knew that there were surviving (young) and seasoned (old) wolves on the island; he knew that the hounds had split into two packs, that they were poisoning somewhere, and that something bad had happened. He was always waiting for the beast on his side. He made thousands of different assumptions about how and from which side the beast would run and how he would poison him. Hope was replaced by despair. Several times he turned to God with a prayer that the wolf would come out on him; he prayed with that passionate and conscientious feeling with which people pray in moments of great excitement, depending on an insignificant cause. “Well, what does it cost you,” he said to God, “to do this for me! I know that You are great, and that it is a sin to ask You about it; but for the sake of God, make a seasoned one crawl out on me, and so that Karay, in front of the eyes of the “uncle”, who is looking out from there, slams into his throat with a death grip. A thousand times in that half-hour, with a stubborn, tense and restless look, Rostov cast a glance at the edge of the forests with two rare oaks over an aspen seat, and a ravine with a washed-out edge, and an uncle's hat, barely visible from behind a bush to the right.
