Borís
Drubetskóy
,
having
left
his
wife
in
Moscow
and
being
for
the
present
en
garçon
(
as
he
phrased
it
)
,
was
also
there
and
,
though
not
an
aide-de-camp
,
had
subscribed
a
large
sum
toward
the
expenses
.
Borís
was
now
a
rich
man
who
had
risen
to
high
honors
and
no
longer
sought
patronage
but
stood
on
an
equal
footing
with
the
highest
of
those
of
his
own
age
.
He
was
meeting
Hélène
in
Vílna
after
not
having
seen
her
for
a
long
time
and
did
not
recall
the
past
,
but
as
Hélène
was
enjoying
the
favors
of
a
very
important
personage
and
Borís
had
only
recently
married
,
they
met
as
good
friends
of
long
standing
.
At
midnight
dancing
was
still
going
on
.
Hélène
,
not
having
a
suitable
partner
,
herself
offered
to
dance
the
mazurka
with
Borís
.
They
were
the
third
couple
.
Borís
,
coolly
looking
at
Hélène
's
dazzling
bare
shoulders
which
emerged
from
a
dark
,
gold-embroidered
,
gauze
gown
,
talked
to
her
of
old
acquaintances
and
at
the
same
time
,
unaware
of
it
himself
and
unnoticed
by
others
,
never
for
an
instant
ceased
to
observe
the
Emperor
who
was
in
the
same
room
.
The
Emperor
was
not
dancing
,
he
stood
in
the
doorway
,
stopping
now
one
pair
and
now
another
with
gracious
words
which
he
alone
knew
how
to
utter
.
As
the
mazurka
began
,
Borís
saw
that
Adjutant
General
Balashëv
,
one
of
those
in
closest
attendance
on
the
Emperor
,
went
up
to
him
and
contrary
to
court
etiquette
stood
near
him
while
he
was
talking
to
a
Polish
lady
.
Having
finished
speaking
to
her
,
the
Emperor
looked
inquiringly
at
Balashëv
and
,
evidently
understanding
that
he
only
acted
thus
because
there
were
important
reasons
for
so
doing
,
nodded
slightly
to
the
lady
and
turned
to
him
.
Hardly
had
Balashëv
begun
to
speak
before
a
look
of
amazement
appeared
on
the
Emperor
's
face
.
He
took
Balashëv
by
the
arm
and
crossed
the
room
with
him
,
unconsciously
clearing
a
path
seven
yards
wide
as
the
people
on
both
sides
made
way
for
him
.
Borís
noticed
Arakchéev
's
excited
face
when
the
sovereign
went
out
with
Balashëv
.
Arakchéev
looked
at
the
Emperor
from
under
his
brow
and
,
sniffing
with
his
red
nose
,
stepped
forward
from
the
crowd
as
if
expecting
the
Emperor
to
address
him
.
(
Borís
understood
that
Arakchéev
envied
Balashëv
and
was
displeased
that
evidently
important
news
had
reached
the
Emperor
otherwise
than
through
himself
.
)
But
the
Emperor
and
Balashëv
passed
out
into
the
illuminated
garden
without
noticing
Arakchéev
who
,
holding
his
sword
and
glancing
wrathfully
around
,
followed
some
twenty
paces
behind
them
.
All
the
time
Borís
was
going
through
the
figures
of
the
mazurka
,
he
was
worried
by
the
question
of
what
news
Balashëv
had
brought
and
how
he
could
find
it
out
before
others
.
In
the
figure
in
which
he
had
to
choose
two
ladies
,
he
whispered
to
Hélène
that
he
meant
to
choose
Countess
Potocka
who
,
he
thought
,
had
gone
out
onto
the
veranda
,
and
glided
over
the
parquet
to
the
door
opening
into
the
garden
,
where
,
seeing
Balashëv
and
the
Emperor
returning
to
the
veranda
,
he
stood
still
.
They
were
moving
toward
the
door
.
Borís
,
fluttering
as
if
he
had
not
had
time
to
withdraw
,
respectfully
pressed
close
to
the
doorpost
with
bowed
head
.
The
Emperor
,
with
the
agitation
of
one
who
has
been
personally
affronted
,
was
finishing
with
these
words
:
"
To
enter
Russia
without
declaring
war
!
I
will
not
make
peace
as
long
as
a
single
armed
enemy
remains
in
my
country
!
"
It
seemed
to
Borís
that
it
gave
the
Emperor
pleasure
to
utter
these
words
.
He
was
satisfied
with
the
form
in
which
he
had
expressed
his
thoughts
,
but
displeased
that
Borís
had
overheard
it
.
"
Let
no
one
know
of
it
!
"
the
Emperor
added
with
a
frown
.
