At
such
moments
Princess
Mary
would
think
how
intellectual
work
dries
men
up
.
Prince
Andrew
arrived
in
Petersburg
in
August
,
1809
.
It
was
the
time
when
the
youthful
Speránski
was
at
the
zenith
of
his
fame
and
his
reforms
were
being
pushed
forward
with
the
greatest
energy
.
That
same
August
the
Emperor
was
thrown
from
his
calèche
,
injured
his
leg
,
and
remained
three
weeks
at
Peterhof
,
receiving
Speránski
every
day
and
no
one
else
.
At
that
time
the
two
famous
decrees
were
being
prepared
that
so
agitated
society
--
abolishing
court
ranks
and
introducing
examinations
to
qualify
for
the
grades
of
Collegiate
Assessor
and
State
Councilor
--
and
not
merely
these
but
a
whole
state
constitution
,
intended
to
change
the
existing
order
of
government
in
Russia
:
legal
,
administrative
,
and
financial
,
from
the
Council
of
State
down
to
the
district
tribunals
.
Now
those
vague
liberal
dreams
with
which
the
Emperor
Alexander
had
ascended
the
throne
,
and
which
he
had
tried
to
put
into
effect
with
the
aid
of
his
associates
,
Czartorýski
,
Novosíltsev
,
Kochubéy
,
and
Strógonov
--
whom
he
himself
in
jest
had
called
his
Comité
de
salut
public
--
were
taking
shape
and
being
realized
.
Now
all
these
men
were
replaced
by
Speránski
on
the
civil
side
,
and
Arakchéev
on
the
military
.
Soon
after
his
arrival
Prince
Andrew
,
as
a
gentleman
of
the
chamber
,
presented
himself
at
court
and
at
a
levee
.
The
Emperor
,
though
he
met
him
twice
,
did
not
favor
him
with
a
single
word
.
It
had
always
seemed
to
Prince
Andrew
before
that
he
was
antipathetic
to
the
Emperor
and
that
the
latter
disliked
his
face
and
personality
generally
,
and
in
the
cold
,
repellent
glance
the
Emperor
gave
him
,
he
now
found
further
confirmation
of
this
surmise
.
The
courtiers
explained
the
Emperor
's
neglect
of
him
by
His
Majesty
's
displeasure
at
Bolkónski
's
not
having
served
since
1805
.
"
I
know
myself
that
one
can
not
help
one
's
sympathies
and
antipathies
,
"
thought
Prince
Andrew
,
"
so
it
will
not
do
to
present
my
proposal
for
the
reform
of
the
army
regulations
to
the
Emperor
personally
,
but
the
project
will
speak
for
itself
.
"
He
mentioned
what
he
had
written
to
an
old
field
marshal
,
a
friend
of
his
father
's
.
The
field
marshal
made
an
appointment
to
see
him
,
received
him
graciously
,
and
promised
to
inform
the
Emperor
.
A
few
days
later
Prince
Andrew
received
notice
that
he
was
to
go
to
see
the
Minister
of
War
,
Count
Arakchéev
.
On
the
appointed
day
Prince
Andrew
entered
Count
Arakchéev
's
waiting
room
at
nine
in
the
morning
.
He
did
not
know
Arakchéev
personally
,
had
never
seen
him
,
and
all
he
had
heard
of
him
inspired
him
with
but
little
respect
for
the
man
.
"
He
is
Minister
of
War
,
a
man
trusted
by
the
Emperor
,
and
I
need
not
concern
myself
about
his
personal
qualities
:
he
has
been
commissioned
to
consider
my
project
,
so
he
alone
can
get
it
adopted
,
"
thought
Prince
Andrew
as
he
waited
among
a
number
of
important
and
unimportant
people
in
Count
Arakchéev
's
waiting
room
.
During
his
service
,
chiefly
as
an
adjutant
,
Prince
Andrew
had
seen
the
anterooms
of
many
important
men
,
and
the
different
types
of
such
rooms
were
well
known
to
him
.
Count
Arakchéev
's
anteroom
had
quite
a
special
character
.
