After
dinner
Speránski
's
daughter
and
her
governess
rose
.
He
patted
the
little
girl
with
his
white
hand
and
kissed
her
.
And
that
gesture
,
too
,
seemed
unnatural
to
Prince
Andrew
.
The
men
remained
at
table
over
their
port
--
English
fashion
.
In
the
midst
of
a
conversation
that
was
started
about
Napoleon
's
Spanish
affairs
,
which
they
all
agreed
in
approving
,
Prince
Andrew
began
to
express
a
contrary
opinion
.
Speránski
smiled
and
,
with
an
evident
wish
to
prevent
the
conversation
from
taking
an
unpleasant
course
,
told
a
story
that
had
no
connection
with
the
previous
conversation
.
For
a
few
moments
all
were
silent
.
Having
sat
some
time
at
table
,
Speránski
corked
a
bottle
of
wine
and
,
remarking
,
"
Nowadays
good
wine
rides
in
a
carriage
and
pair
,
"
passed
it
to
the
servant
and
got
up
.
All
rose
and
continuing
to
talk
loudly
went
into
the
drawing
room
.
Two
letters
brought
by
a
courier
were
handed
to
Speránski
and
he
took
them
to
his
study
.
As
soon
as
he
had
left
the
room
the
general
merriment
stopped
and
the
guests
began
to
converse
sensibly
and
quietly
with
one
another
.
"
Now
for
the
recitation
!
"
said
Speránski
on
returning
from
his
study
.
"
A
wonderful
talent
!
"
he
said
to
Prince
Andrew
,
and
Magnítski
immediately
assumed
a
pose
and
began
reciting
some
humorous
verses
in
French
which
he
had
composed
about
various
well-known
Petersburg
people
.
He
was
interrupted
several
times
by
applause
.
When
the
verses
were
finished
Prince
Andrew
went
up
to
Speránski
and
took
his
leave
.
"
Where
are
you
off
to
so
early
?
"
asked
Speránski
.
"
I
promised
to
go
to
a
reception
.
"
They
said
no
more
.
Prince
Andrew
looked
closely
into
those
mirrorlike
,
impenetrable
eyes
,
and
felt
that
it
had
been
ridiculous
of
him
to
have
expected
anything
from
Speránski
and
from
any
of
his
own
activities
connected
with
him
,
or
ever
to
have
attributed
importance
to
what
Speránski
was
doing
.
That
precise
,
mirthless
laughter
rang
in
Prince
Andrew
's
ears
long
after
he
had
left
the
house
.
When
he
reached
home
Prince
Andrew
began
thinking
of
his
life
in
Petersburg
during
those
last
four
months
as
if
it
were
something
new
.
He
recalled
his
exertions
and
solicitations
,
and
the
history
of
his
project
of
army
reform
,
which
had
been
accepted
for
consideration
and
which
they
were
trying
to
pass
over
in
silence
simply
because
another
,
a
very
poor
one
,
had
already
been
prepared
and
submitted
to
the
Emperor
.
He
thought
of
the
meetings
of
a
committee
of
which
Berg
was
a
member
He
remembered
how
carefully
and
at
what
length
everything
relating
to
form
and
procedure
was
discussed
at
those
meetings
,
and
how
sedulously
and
promptly
all
that
related
to
the
gist
of
the
business
was
evaded
.
He
recalled
his
labors
on
the
Legal
Code
,
and
how
painstakingly
he
had
translated
the
articles
of
the
Roman
and
French
codes
into
Russian
,
and
he
felt
ashamed
of
himself
.
Then
he
vividly
pictured
to
himself
Boguchárovo
,
his
occupations
in
the
country
,
his
journey
to
Ryazán
;
he
remembered
the
peasants
and
Dron
the
village
elder
,
and
mentally
applying
to
them
the
Personal
Rights
he
had
divided
into
paragraphs
,
he
felt
astonished
that
he
could
have
spent
so
much
time
on
such
useless
work
.
