\nAnswer:
\nChubukov suspected that Lomov has come for borrowing money from him. No, he was not sincere because he was relaxed only to know that he had got a son-in-law. He had always wanted to see his daughter Natalya get married to Lomov. So he, at once changed his tactics.<\/p>\n

\nAnswer:
\nYes, Natalya is in love with Lomov. Because when she comes to know that Lomov has come to propose her, she realises her mistake and requests her father to call Lomov back. She becomes restless and wants to accept the proposal of Lomov.<\/p>\n
