    Fragment 38

    Императрица сидела за своим туалетом. Несколько придворных окружали ее и почтительно пропустили Марью Ивановну. Государыня ласково к ней обратилась, и Марья Ивановна узнала в ней ту даму, с которой так откровенно изъяснялась она несколько минут тому назад. Государыня подозвала ее и сказала с улыбкою: «Я рада, что могла сдержать вам свое слово и исполнить вашу просьбу. Дело ваше кончено. Я убеждена в невинности вашего жениха. Вот письмо, которое сами потрудитесь отвезти к будущему свекру». The empress was sitting in front of her dressing table, surrounded by several courtiers who respectfully let Marya Ivanovna to come closer. The sovereign turned to her with a tender look and Marya Ivanovna recognized in her the lady she so frankly spoke with not very long ago. The sovereign called her and said smiling:
    "I am delighted to be able to accord you your prayer. Your matter is finished. I am convinced of the innocence of your betrothed. Here is a letter which you will give your future father-in-law."
