Into the forest goes Tatiana; the bear follows; up to her knee comes yielding snow; now by the neck a long branch suddenly 4 catches her, or by force it tears out of her ears their golden pendants 5 now in the crumbly snow sticks fast a small wet shoe come off her charming foot5 8 now she lets fall her handkerchiefshe has no time to pick it up, is frightened, hears the bear behind her, and even is too shy to raise 12 with tremulous hand the hem of her dress; she runs; he keeps behind her5 and then she has no force to run. xv Into the snow she's fallen; the bear deftly snatches her up and carries her5 she is insensibly submissive5 4 stirs not, breathes not; he rushes her along a forest road; sudden, 'mongst trees, there is a humble hut; dense wildwood all around; from every side 8 'tis drifted over with desolate snow, and brightly glows a window; and in the hut are cries and noise; the bear quoth: "Here's my gossip, 12 do warm yourself a little in his home!'' and straight he goes into the hallway and on the threshold lays her down.
