While
waiting
for
the
announcement
of
his
appointment
to
the
committee
Prince
Andrew
looked
up
his
former
acquaintances
,
particularly
those
he
knew
to
be
in
power
and
whose
aid
he
might
need
.
In
Petersburg
he
now
experienced
the
same
feeling
he
had
had
on
the
eve
of
a
battle
,
when
troubled
by
anxious
curiosity
and
irresistibly
attracted
to
the
ruling
circles
where
the
future
,
on
which
the
fate
of
millions
depended
,
was
being
shaped
.
From
the
irritation
of
the
older
men
,
the
curiosity
of
the
uninitiated
,
the
reserve
of
the
initiated
,
the
hurry
and
preoccupation
of
everyone
,
and
the
innumerable
committees
and
commissions
of
whose
existence
he
learned
every
day
,
he
felt
that
now
,
in
1809
,
here
in
Petersburg
a
vast
civil
conflict
was
in
preparation
,
the
commander
in
chief
of
which
was
a
mysterious
person
he
did
not
know
,
but
who
was
supposed
to
be
a
man
of
genius
--
Speránski
.
And
this
movement
of
reconstruction
of
which
Prince
Andrew
had
a
vague
idea
,
and
Speránski
its
chief
promoter
,
began
to
interest
him
so
keenly
that
the
question
of
the
army
regulations
quickly
receded
to
a
secondary
place
in
his
consciousness
.
Prince
Andrew
was
most
favorably
placed
to
secure
good
reception
in
the
highest
and
most
diverse
Petersburg
circles
of
the
day
.
The
reforming
party
cordially
welcomed
and
courted
him
,
in
the
first
place
because
he
was
reputed
to
be
clever
and
very
well
read
,
and
secondly
because
by
liberating
his
serfs
he
had
obtained
the
reputation
of
being
a
liberal
.
The
party
of
the
old
and
dissatisfied
,
who
censured
the
innovations
,
turned
to
him
expecting
his
sympathy
in
their
disapproval
of
the
reforms
,
simply
because
he
was
the
son
of
his
father
.
The
feminine
society
world
welcomed
him
gladly
,
because
he
was
rich
,
distinguished
,
a
good
match
,
and
almost
a
newcomer
,
with
a
halo
of
romance
on
account
of
his
supposed
death
and
the
tragic
loss
of
his
wife
.
Besides
this
the
general
opinion
of
all
who
had
known
him
previously
was
that
he
had
greatly
improved
during
these
last
five
years
,
having
softened
and
grown
more
manly
,
lost
his
former
affectation
,
pride
,
and
contemptuous
irony
,
and
acquired
the
serenity
that
comes
with
years
.
People
talked
about
him
,
were
interested
in
him
,
and
wanted
to
meet
him
.
The
day
after
his
interview
with
Count
Arakchéev
,
Prince
Andrew
spent
the
evening
at
Count
Kochubéy
's
.
He
told
the
count
of
his
interview
with
Síla
Andréevich
(
Kochubéy
spoke
of
Arakchéev
by
that
nickname
with
the
same
vague
irony
Prince
Andrew
had
noticed
in
the
Minister
of
War
's
anteroom
)
.
"
Mon
cher
,
even
in
this
case
you
ca
n't
do
without
Michael
Mikháylovich
Speránski
.
He
manages
everything
.
I
'll
speak
to
him
.
He
has
promised
to
come
this
evening
.
"
"
What
has
Speránski
to
do
with
the
army
regulations
?
"
asked
Prince
Andrew
.
Kochubéy
shook
his
head
smilingly
,
as
if
surprised
at
Bolkónski
's
simplicity
.
"
We
were
talking
to
him
about
you
a
few
days
ago
,
"
Kochubéy
continued
,
"
and
about
your
freed
plowmen
.
"
"
Oh
,
is
it
you
,
Prince
,
who
have
freed
your
serfs
?
"
said
an
old
man
of
Catherine
's
day
,
turning
contemptuously
toward
Bolkónski
.
"
It
was
a
small
estate
that
brought
in
no
profit
,
"
replied
Prince
Andrew
,
trying
to
extenuate
his
action
so
as
not
to
irritate
the
old
man
uselessly
.
