When
Kochubéy
introduced
Prince
Andrew
,
Speránski
slowly
turned
his
eyes
to
Bolkónski
with
his
customary
smile
and
looked
at
him
in
silence
.
"
I
am
very
glad
to
make
your
acquaintance
.
I
had
heard
of
you
,
as
everyone
has
,
"
he
said
after
a
pause
.
Kochubéy
said
a
few
words
about
the
reception
Arakchéev
had
given
Bolkónski
.
Speránski
smiled
more
markedly
.

"
The
chairman
of
the
Committee
on
Army
Regulations
is
my
good
friend
Monsieur
Magnítski
,
"
he
said
,
fully
articulating
every
word
and
syllable
,
"
and
if
you
like
I
can
put
you
in
touch
with
him
.
"
He
paused
at
the
full
stop
.
"
I
hope
you
will
find
him
sympathetic
and
ready
to
co-operate
in
promoting
all
that
is
reasonable
.
"
A
circle
soon
formed
round
Speránski
,
and
the
old
man
who
had
talked
about
his
subordinate
Pryánichnikov
addressed
a
question
to
him
.
Prince
Andrew
without
joining
in
the
conversation
watched
every
movement
of
Speránski
's
:
this
man
,
not
long
since
an
insignificant
divinity
student
,
who
now
,
Bolkónski
thought
,
held
in
his
hands
--
those
plump
white
hands
--
the
fate
of
Russia
.
Prince
Andrew
was
struck
by
the
extraordinarily
disdainful
composure
with
which
Speránski
answered
the
old
man
.
He
appeared
to
address
condescending
words
to
him
from
an
immeasurable
height
.
When
the
old
man
began
to
speak
too
loud
,
Speránski
smiled
and
said
he
could
not
judge
of
the
advantage
or
disadvantage
of
what
pleased
the
sovereign
.
Having
talked
for
a
little
while
in
the
general
circle
,
Speránski
rose
and
coming
up
to
Prince
Andrew
took
him
along
to
the
other
end
of
the
room
.

It
was
clear
that
he
thought
it
necessary
to
interest
himself
in
Bolkónski
.
"
I
had
no
chance
to
talk
with
you
,
Prince
,
during
the
animated
conversation
in
which
that
venerable
gentleman
involved
me
,
"
he
said
with
a
mildly
contemptuous
smile
,
as
if
intimating
by
that
smile
that
he
and
Prince
Andrew
understood
the
insignificance
of
the
people
with
whom
he
had
just
been
talking
.
This
flattered
Prince
Andrew
.
"
I
have
known
of
you
for
a
long
time
:
first
from
your
action
with
regard
to
your
serfs
,
a
first
example
,
of
which
it
is
very
desirable
that
there
should
be
more
imitators
;
and
secondly
because
you
are
one
of
those
gentlemen
of
the
chamber
who
have
not
considered
themselves
offended
by
the
new
decree
concerning
the
ranks
allotted
to
courtiers
,
which
is
causing
so
much
gossip
and
tittle-tattle
.
"
"
No
,
"
said
Prince
Andrew
,
"
my
father
did
not
wish
me
to
take
advantage
of
the
privilege
.
I
began
the
service
from
the
lower
grade
.
