Mortemart

She had been married during the previous winter, and, being pregnant, did not go to any large gatherings, but only to small receptions.

Prince Vasili's son, Hippolyta, had come with Mortemart, whom he introduced.

The Abbe Moriot and others had also come.

To each new arrival Anna Pavlovna said, You have not yet seen my aunt, or You do not know my aunt, and very gravely conducted him or her to a little old lady wearing large bows of ribbon in her cap, who had come sailing in from another room as soon as the guests began to arrive.
