vorontsov

He also went to see Vorontsov , whom he knew slightly , having once served in the same regiment with him .

Vorontsov took his place in the center of one side of the long table, and wife sat opposite, with the general on her right.

Vorontsov laid down the cards , excused himself , opened the letter, and began to read .

Vorontsov listened to the general and smiled amiably, evidently pleased that the latter had joined in the conversation.

He knew that every mention of Napoleon was pleasant to Vorontsov, who wore the White Cross at his neck as a reward for having defeated him.

Prince Vorontsov tried to moderate the waves of flattery which began to flow over him .

The princess covered her face with her handkerchief Prince Vorontsov pulled a face and blinked hard.

Vorontsov was in his box when the striking figure of the limping Hadji Murad wearing a turban appeared in the stalls.

He now intended to present the steps taken by Vorontsov in relation to Hadji Murad in an unfavorable light.

All he had to do was to avoid gambling and go to Vorontsov's where he had been invited.

But I don't think so, and agree with Vorontsov.

Thus ended the first interview between Hadji Murad and Vorontsov.

Vorontsov nodded to express his thanks.
