Natasha began to teach in a school attached to a weaving mill. But teaching alone did not occupy her. Several times a month she disguised herself as a nun or a peddler of laces, well-to-do town woman or a pious pilgrim and wandered through the province. She always opened the conversation with strangers fearlessly drawing their attention to the enormous problems facing the masses in general. During the course of her travels the drama in real life – an anxious struggle for their daily bread – unfolded itself on every hand. She saw shockingly open efforts to cheat people, to do them out of things, to drink their blood. She saw there was an abundance of every thing on the Earth, yet masses lived in dire need and they were half – starved. The churches in the towns were filled with silver and gold for which God had no use, while at the gates beggars stood shivering, waiting in the rain for a few coins to be dropped into their outstretched hands. Earlier she had accepted it as a natural state of affairs, now she found it intolerable. Natasha was acquainted with people, who had freed themselves from greed and malice, and she knew that if these were more much people, life would no longer be so dark and terrible; it would become simpler, brighter and nobler.
- Why did Natasha disguise herself ?
- Why would Natasha talk fearlessly to people ?
- What did Natasha see during the course of her travels ?
