The sun had sunk half below the horizon and an evening frost was starring the puddles near the ferry, but Pierre and Andrew, to the astonishment of the footmen, coachmen, and ferrymen, still stood on the raft and talked.

They crossed the ferry where he had talked with Pierre the year before.

People talked about him, were interested in him, and wanted to meet him.

This was Speranski, Secretary of State, reporter to the Emperor and his companion at Erfurt, where he had more than once met and talked with Napoleon.

Having talked for a little while in the general circle, Speranski rose and coming up to Prince Andrew took him along to the other end of the room.

He did nothing, did not even think or find time to think, but only talked, and talked successfully, of what he had thought while in the country.

As he had done on their first meeting at Kochubey's, Speranski produced a strong impression on Prince Andrew on the Wednesday, when he received him tête-à-tête at his own house and talked to him long and confidentially.

Brother Urusov came and we talked about worldly vanities.

The countess looked with sad and sternly serious eyes at Prince Andrew when he talked to Natasha and timidly started some artificial conversation about trifles as soon as he looked her way.

After supper, over their cherry brandy, Rostov and "Uncle" talked of past and future hunts, of Rugay and Ilagin's dogs, while Natasha sat upright on the sofa and listened with sparkling eyes.

They talked of how they would live when they were married, how their husbands would be friends, and how happy they would be.

The prince's house did not belong to what is known as fashionable society, but his little circle--though not much talked about in town-- was one it was more flattering to be received in than any other.

All were silent or talked in low tones.

When he got there he leaned on his elbows and, smiling, talked to her for a long time.

Marya Dmitrievna talked to the count about something which they concealed from Natasha.

So she knows I am engaged, and she and her husband Pierre--that good Pierre--have talked and laughed about this.

One of Pierre's acquaintances, while they were talking about the weather, asked if he had heard of Kuragin's abduction of Rostova which was talked of in the town, and was it true?

Prince Andrew talked incessantly, arguing now with his father, now with the Swiss tutor Dessalles, and showing an unnatural animation, the cause of which Pierre so well understood.

Boris, coolly looking at Helene's dazzling bare shoulders which emerged from a dark, gold-embroidered, gauze gown, talked to her of old acquaintances and at the same time, unaware of it himself and unnoticed by others, never for an instant ceased to observe the Emperor who was in the same room.

But he had begun talking, and the more he talked the less could he control his words.

While the horses were being harnessed Alpatych and Ferapontov over their tea talked of the price of corn, the crops, and the good weather for harvesting.

Here, at the extreme left flank, Bennigsen talked a great deal and with much heat, and, as it seemed to Pierre, gave orders of great military importance.

They waited for him from four till six o'clock and did not begin their deliberations all that time but talked in low tones of other matters.

Only someone's orderly passed through the gateway, splashing through the mud, and talked to the innkeeper.

Animated by that address Anna Pavlovna's guests talked for a long time of the state of the fatherland and offered various conjectures as to the result of the battle to be fought in a few days.
