During
the
first
period
of
their
acquaintance
Bolkónski
felt
a
passionate
admiration
for
him
similar
to
that
which
he
had
once
felt
for
Bonaparte
.
The
fact
that
Speránski
was
the
son
of
a
village
priest
,
and
that
stupid
people
might
meanly
despise
him
on
account
of
his
humble
origin
(
as
in
fact
many
did
)
,
caused
Prince
Andrew
to
cherish
his
sentiment
for
him
the
more
,
and
unconsciously
to
strengthen
it
.
On
that
first
evening
Bolkónski
spent
with
him
,
having
mentioned
the
Commission
for
the
Revision
of
the
Code
of
Laws
,
Speránski
told
him
sarcastically
that
the
Commission
had
existed
for
a
hundred
and
fifty
years
,
had
cost
millions
,
and
had
done
nothing
except
that
Rosenkampf
had
stuck
labels
on
the
corresponding
paragraphs
of
the
different
codes
.
"
And
that
is
all
the
state
has
for
the
millions
it
has
spent
,
"
said
he
.
"
We
want
to
give
the
Senate
new
juridical
powers
,
but
we
have
no
laws

That
is
why
it
is
a
sin
for
men
like
you
,
Prince
,
not
to
serve
in
these
times
!
"
Prince
Andrew
said
that
for
that
work
an
education
in
jurisprudence
was
needed
which
he
did
not
possess
.
"
But
nobody
possesses
it
,
so
what
would
you
have
?
It
is
a
vicious
circle
from
which
we
must
break
a
way
out
.
"
A
week
later
Prince
Andrew
was
a
member
of
the
Committee
on
Army
Regulations
and
--
what
he
had
not
at
all
expected
--
was
chairman
of
a
section
of
the
committee
for
the
revision
of
the
laws
.
At
Speránski
's
request
he
took
the
first
part
of
the
Civil
Code
that
was
being
drawn
up
and
,
with
the
aid
of
the
Code
Napoléon
and
the
Institutes
of
Justinian
,
he
worked
at
formulating
the
section
on
Personal
Rights
.

Nearly
two
years
before
this
,
in
1808
,
Pierre
on
returning
to
Petersburg
after
visiting
his
estates
had
involuntarily
found
himself
in
a
leading
position
among
the
Petersburg
Freemasons
.
He
arranged
dining
and
funeral
lodge
meetings
,
enrolled
new
members
,
and
busied
himself
uniting
various
lodges
and
acquiring
authentic
charters
.
He
gave
money
for
the
erection
of
temples
and
supplemented
as
far
as
he
could
the
collection
of
alms
,
in
regard
to
which
the
majority
of
members
were
stingy
and
irregular
.
He
supported
almost
singlehanded
a
poorhouse
the
order
had
founded
in
Petersburg
.
His
life
meanwhile
continued
as
before
,
with
the
same
infatuations
and
dissipations
.
He
liked
to
dine
and
drink
well
,
and
though
he
considered
it
immoral
and
humiliating
could
not
resist
the
temptations
of
the
bachelor
circles
in
which
he
moved
.
Amid
the
turmoil
of
his
activities
and
distractions
,
however
,
Pierre
at
the
end
of
a
year
began
to
feel
that
the
more
firmly
he
tried
to
rest
upon
it
,
the
more
Masonic
ground
on
which
he
stood
gave
way
under
him
.
At
the
same
time
he
felt
that
the
deeper
the
ground
sank
under
him
the
closer
bound
he
involuntarily
became
to
the
order
.
When
he
had
joined
the
Freemasons
he
had
experienced
the
feeling
of
one
who
confidently
steps
onto
the
smooth
surface
of
a
bog
.
When
he
put
his
foot
down
it
sank
in
.
To
make
quite
sure
of
the
firmness
of
the
ground
,
he
put
his
other
foot
down
and
sank
deeper
still
,
became
stuck
in
it
,
and
involuntarily
waded
knee-deep
in
the
bog
.
