Naive Natasha can't assume that was the object of an empty affair. It has never deceived. She believes exaggerated feelings of Anatolia. Even the strange behavior of the fan it doesn't bother you, Kuragin could not go to the Rostov house and ask for the hand of Natasha, because he is secretly married to a Polish dianochka.
