Konechno, not father was first.

Who noted the transformation of child into the woman. Fathers generally note this rarely. Change is accomplished so gradually and elusively, that it it is not possible to determine by precise date. It does not realize even girl herself, until from the sound whose- that of voice or touch whose- that of hand not zatrepeshchet her heart and it suddenly with the pride and the fear feels that in it ripens something new and large. Rare woman will not memorize for life that trifling case, which announced to her the dawn of new life. For Lyusi Fer'e this case was by no means trifling, to say nothing of the fact that it influenced its fate and fates of many others. Stoyalo the hot June morning. Mormony worked how bees, not without reason they selected as their emblem bee beehive. Above the fields, above the streets efficient rumble stood. Along the dusty roads were pulled the long files of the loaded with heavy load mules they dispatch to the West, since in California the Gold rush flared up, and way on the land penetrated the city of those chosen. The droves of sheep and oxen from the distant pastures there moved, the caravans of tired migrants were pulled; the interminable journey equally harassed and people and animals.
Skvoz' this motley throng with the confidence of skillful horseman skipped on its mustang Of lyusi To fer'e. Its face blushed, long chestnut hair fluttered after the back. Father sent it into the city with some commission, and, thinking only about the matter and about how it will carry out it, girl with the fearlessness of youth cut into the very sediment of the moving crowd. The hunters after gold, weakened by long road, with the enthusiastic consternation stared by her after. Even impassive Indians, obveshannym by beast skins, changed their customary endurance, and they voskhishchenno scrutinized this pale-faced beauty.
to U of the very outskirts of city road dammed the enormous herd of cattle, it hardly they managed the fifth-sixth the become brutalized herdsmen. Lyusi, which burnt with impatience, it seemed that animals made room, and it decided to go straight through the herd. But hardly it had time to enter into the formed passage, as numbers of animals again they closed, and it appeared in the living flow, from all sides surrounded by longicorn bulls with the filled by the blood by eyes. The girl of privykla to be governed from the scotomas and, without having been not a bit lost, with each possibility drove on horse, hoping to be opened forward. Unfortunately, one of the bulls by chance or namerenno of bodnul of mustang to the side, and that instantly arrived into the fury. Khrapya from the fury, it was raised to the racks, zagartseval, swept so that, you be Lyusi less skillful horsewoman, it would without fail throw out it from the saddle. Position became dangerous. Each time, lowering front hooves, the enraged mustang again was encountered the horns and again it arose to the racks, being infuriated still more. Girl from all forces tried to be held in the saddle, terrible death under the hooves of the heavy, frightened bulls otherwise awaited her. She did not know what to make; the head turned itself in it, the hand, which compressed povod'ya, was feeble. Choking from the dust, from the smell of the excited animals, it in the desperation only was it did not let out from the hands of povod'ya, when suddenly the encouraging voice next was heard, and she understood that by it they arrived to the aid. And immediately dark-comlexioned sinewy hand gripped the frightened mustang for the bridle, and unknown rider, protiskivayas' between bulls, soon derived him on the outlying street. Nadeyus', you did not suffer, miss? respectfully turned himself to Lyusi its rescuer.
