After
his
journey
and
the
campaign
during
which
he
had
been
deprived
of
all
the
comforts
of
cleanliness
and
all
the
refinements
of
life
,
Prince
Andrew
felt
a
pleasant
sense
of
repose
among
luxurious
surroundings
such
as
he
had
been
accustomed
to
from
childhood
.
Besides
it
was
pleasant
,
after
his
reception
by
the
Austrians
,
to
speak
if
not
in
Russian
(
for
they
were
speaking
French
)
at
least
with
a
Russian
who
would
,
he
supposed
,
share
the
general
Russian
antipathy
to
the
Austrians
which
was
then
particularly
strong
.
Bilíbin
was
a
man
of
thirty-five
,
a
bachelor
,
and
of
the
same
circle
as
Prince
Andrew
.
They
had
known
each
other
previously
in
Petersburg
,
but
had
become
more
intimate
when
Prince
Andrew
was
in
Vienna
with
Kutúzov
.
Just
as
Prince
Andrew
was
a
young
man
who
gave
promise
of
rising
high
in
the
military
profession
,
so
to
an
even
greater
extent
Bilíbin
gave
promise
of
rising
in
his
diplomatic
career
.
He
was
still
a
young
man
but
no
longer
a
young
diplomat
,
as
he
had
entered
the
service
at
the
age
of
sixteen
,
had
been
in
Paris
and
Copenhagen
,
and
now
held
a
rather
important
post
in
Vienna
.
Both
the
foreign
minister
and
our
ambassador
in
Vienna
knew
him
and
valued
him
.
He
was
not
one
of
those
many
diplomats
who
are
esteemed
because
they
have
certain
negative
qualities
,
avoid
doing
certain
things
,
and
speak
French
.
He
was
one
of
those
,
who
,
liking
work
,
knew
how
to
do
it
,
and
despite
his
indolence
would
sometimes
spend
a
whole
night
at
his
writing
table
.
He
worked
well
whatever
the
import
of
his
work
.
It
was
not
the
question
"
What
for
?
"
but
the
question
"
How
?
"
that
interested
him
.
What
the
diplomatic
matter
might
be
he
did
not
care
,
but
it
gave
him
great
pleasure
to
prepare
a
circular
,
memorandum
,
or
report
,
skillfully
,
pointedly
,
and
elegantly
.
Bilíbin
's
services
were
valued
not
only
for
what
he
wrote
,
but
also
for
his
skill
in
dealing
and
conversing
with
those
in
the
highest
spheres
.
Bilíbin
liked
conversation
as
he
liked
work
,
only
when
it
could
be
made
elegantly
witty
.
In
society
he
always
awaited
an
opportunity
to
say
something
striking
and
took
part
in
a
conversation
only
when
that
was
possible
.
His
conversation
was
always
sprinkled
with
wittily
original
,
finished
phrases
of
general
interest
.
These
sayings
were
prepared
in
the
inner
laboratory
of
his
mind
in
a
portable
form
as
if
intentionally
,
so
that
insignificant
society
people
might
carry
them
from
drawing
room
to
drawing
room
.
And
,
in
fact
,
Bilíbin
's
witticisms
were
hawked
about
in
the
Viennese
drawing
rooms
and
often
had
an
influence
on
matters
considered
important
.
His
thin
,
worn
,
sallow
face
was
covered
with
deep
wrinkles
,
which
always
looked
as
clean
and
well
washed
as
the
tips
of
one
's
fingers
after
a
Russian
bath
.
The
movement
of
these
wrinkles
formed
the
principal
play
of
expression
on
his
face
.
Now
his
forehead
would
pucker
into
deep
folds
and
his
eyebrows
were
lifted
,
then
his
eyebrows
would
descend
and
deep
wrinkles
would
crease
his
cheeks
.
His
small
,
deep-set
eyes
always
twinkled
and
looked
out
straight
.
"
Well
,
now
tell
me
about
your
exploits
,
"
said
he
.
Bolkónski
,
very
modestly
without
once
mentioning
himself
,
described
the
engagement
and
his
reception
by
the
Minister
of
War
.
"
They
received
me
and
my
news
as
one
receives
a
dog
in
a
game
of
skittles
,
"
said
he
in
conclusion
.
Bilíbin
smiled
and
the
wrinkles
on
his
face
disappeared
.
