Soon
after
this
there
came
into
the
dark
chamber
to
fetch
Pierre
,
not
the
Rhetor
but
Pierre
's
sponsor
,
Willarski
,
whom
he
recognized
by
his
voice
.
To
fresh
questions
as
to
the
firmness
of
his
resolution
Pierre
replied
:
"
Yes
,
yes
,
I
agree
,
"
and
with
a
beaming
,
childlike
smile
,
his
fat
chest
uncovered
,
stepping
unevenly
and
timidly
in
one
slippered
and
one
booted
foot
,
he
advanced
,
while
Willarski
held
a
sword
to
his
bare
chest
.
He
was
conducted
from
that
room
along
passages
that
turned
backwards
and
forwards
and
was
at
last
brought
to
the
doors
of
the
Lodge
.
Willarski
coughed
,
he
was
answered
by
the
Masonic
knock
with
mallets
,
the
doors
opened
before
them
.
A
bass
voice
(
Pierre
was
still
blindfolded
)
questioned
him
as
to
who
he
was
,
when
and
where
he
was
born
,
and
so
on
.
Then
he
was
again
led
somewhere
still
blindfolded
,
and
as
they
went
along
he
was
told
allegories
of
the
toils
of
his
pilgrimage
,
of
holy
friendship
,
of
the
Eternal
Architect
of
the
universe
,
and
of
the
courage
with
which
he
should
endure
toils
and
dangers
.
During
these
wanderings
,
Pierre
noticed
that
he
was
spoken
of
now
as
the
"
Seeker
,
"
now
as
the
"
Sufferer
,
"
and
now
as
the
"
Postulant
,
"
to
the
accompaniment
of
various
knockings
with
mallets
and
swords
.
As
he
was
being
led
up
to
some
object
he
noticed
a
hesitation
and
uncertainty
among
his
conductors
.
He
heard
those
around
him
disputing
in
whispers
and
one
of
them
insisting
that
he
should
be
led
along
a
certain
carpet
.
After
that
they
took
his
right
hand
,
placed
it
on
something
,
and
told
him
to
hold
a
pair
of
compasses
to
his
left
breast
with
the
other
hand
and
to
repeat
after
someone
who
read
aloud
an
oath
of
fidelity
to
the
laws
of
the
Order
.
The
candles
were
then
extinguished
and
some
spirit
lighted
,
as
Pierre
knew
by
the
smell
,
and
he
was
told
that
he
would
now
see
the
lesser
light
.
The
bandage
was
taken
off
his
eyes
and
,
by
the
faint
light
of
the
burning
spirit
,
Pierre
,
as
in
a
dream
,
saw
several
men
standing
before
him
,
wearing
aprons
like
the
Rhetor
's
and
holding
swords
in
their
hands
pointed
at
his
breast
.
Among
them
stood
a
man
whose
white
shirt
was
stained
with
blood
.
On
seeing
this
,
Pierre
moved
forward
with
his
breast
toward
the
swords
,
meaning
them
to
pierce
it
.
But
the
swords
were
drawn
back
from
him
and
he
was
at
once
blindfolded
again
.
"
Now
thou
hast
seen
the
lesser
light
,
"
uttered
a
voice
.
Then
the
candles
were
relit
and
he
was
told
that
he
would
see
the
full
light
;
the
bandage
was
again
removed
and
more
than
ten
voices
said
together
:
"
Sic
transit
gloria
mundi
.
"
Pierre
gradually
began
to
recover
himself
and
looked
about
at
the
room
and
at
the
people
in
it
.
Round
a
long
table
covered
with
black
sat
some
twelve
men
in
garments
like
those
he
had
already
seen
.
Some
of
them
Pierre
had
met
in
Petersburg
society
.
In
the
President
's
chair
sat
a
young
man
he
did
not
know
,
with
a
peculiar
cross
hanging
from
his
neck
.
On
his
right
sat
the
Italian
abbé
whom
Pierre
had
met
at
Anna
Pávlovna
's
two
years
before
.
There
were
also
present
a
very
distinguished
dignitary
and
a
Swiss
who
had
formerly
been
tutor
at
the
Kurágins
'
.
All
maintained
a
solemn
silence
,
listening
to
the
words
of
the
President
,
who
held
a
mallet
in
his
hand
.
Let
into
the
wall
was
a
star-shaped
light
.
At
one
side
of
the
table
was
a
small
carpet
with
various
figures
worked
upon
it
,
at
the
other
was
something
resembling
an
altar
on
which
lay
a
Testament
and
a
skull
.
Round
it
stood
seven
large
candlesticks
like
those
used
in
churches
.
Two
of
the
brothers
led
Pierre
up
to
the
altar
,
placed
his
feet
at
right
angles
,
and
bade
him
lie
down
,
saying
that
he
must
prostrate
himself
at
the
Gates
of
the
Temple
.
"
He
must
first
receive
the
trowel
,
"
whispered
one
of
the
brothers
.
"
Oh
,
hush
,
please
!
"
said
another
.
Pierre
,
perplexed
,
looked
round
with
his
shortsighted
eyes
without
obeying
,
and
suddenly
doubts
arose
in
his
mind
.
"
Where
am
I
?
What
am
I
doing
?
Are
n't
they
laughing
at
me
?
Sha
n't
I
be
ashamed
to
remember
this
?
"
But
these
doubts
only
lasted
a
moment
.
Pierre
glanced
at
the
serious
faces
of
those
around
,
remembered
all
he
had
already
gone
through
,
and
realized
that
he
could
not
stop
halfway
.
He
was
aghast
at
his
hesitation
and
,
trying
to
arouse
his
former
devotional
feeling
,
prostrated
himself
before
the
Gates
of
the
Temple
.
And
really
,
the
feeling
of
devotion
returned
to
him
even
more
strongly
than
before
.
When
he
had
lain
there
some
time
,
he
was
told
to
get
up
,
and
a
white
leather
apron
,
such
as
the
others
wore
,
was
put
on
him
:
he
was
given
a
trowel
and
three
pairs
of
gloves
,
and
then
the
Grand
Master
addressed
him
.
He
told
him
that
he
should
try
to
do
nothing
to
stain
the
whiteness
of
that
apron
,
which
symbolized
strength
and
purity
;
then
of
the
unexplained
trowel
,
he
told
him
to
toil
with
it
to
cleanse
his
own
heart
from
vice
,
and
indulgently
to
smooth
with
it
the
heart
of
his
neighbor
.
As
to
the
first
pair
of
gloves
,
a
man
's
,
he
said
that
Pierre
could
not
know
their
meaning
but
must
keep
them
.
The
second
pair
of
man
's
gloves
he
was
to
wear
at
the
meetings
,
and
finally
of
the
third
,
a
pair
of
women
's
gloves
,
he
said
:
"
Dear
brother
,
these
woman
's
gloves
are
intended
for
you
too
.
Give
them
to
the
woman
whom
you
shall
honor
most
of
all
.
This
gift
will
be
a
pledge
of
your
purity
of
heart
to
her
whom
you
select
to
be
your
worthy
helpmeet
in
Masonry
.
"
And
after
a
pause
,
he
added
:
"
But
beware
,
dear
brother
,
that
these
gloves
do
not
deck
hands
that
are
unclean
.
"
While
the
Grand
Master
said
these
last
words
it
seemed
to
Pierre
that
he
grew
embarrassed
.
Pierre
himself
grew
still
more
confused
,
blushed
like
a
child
till
tears
came
to
his
eyes
,
began
looking
about
him
uneasily
,
and
an
awkward
pause
followed
.
This
silence
was
broken
by
one
of
the
brethren
,
who
led
Pierre
up
to
the
rug
and
began
reading
to
him
from
a
manuscript
book
an
explanation
of
all
the
figures
on
it
:
the
sun
,
the
moon
,
a
hammer
,
a
plumb
line
,
a
trowel
,
a
rough
stone
and
a
squared
stone
,
a
pillar
,
three
windows
,
and
so
on
.
Then
a
place
was
assigned
to
Pierre
,
he
was
shown
the
signs
of
the
Lodge
,
told
the
password
,
and
at
last
was
permitted
to
sit
down
.
The
Grand
Master
began
reading
the
statutes
.
