On
returning
home
in
the
evening
he
would
jot
down
in
his
notebook
four
or
five
necessary
calls
or
appointments
for
certain
hours
.
The
mechanism
of
life
,
the
arrangement
of
the
day
so
as
to
be
in
time
everywhere
,
absorbed
the
greater
part
of
his
vital
energy
.
He
did
nothing
,
did
not
even
think
or
find
time
to
think
,
but
only
talked
,
and
talked
successfully
,
of
what
he
had
thought
while
in
the
country
.
He
sometimes
noticed
with
dissatisfaction
that
he
repeated
the
same
remark
on
the
same
day
in
different
circles
.
But
he
was
so
busy
for
whole
days
together
that
he
had
no
time
to
notice
that
he
was
thinking
of
nothing
.
As
he
had
done
on
their
first
meeting
at
Kochubéy
's
,
Speránski
produced
a
strong
impression
on
Prince
Andrew
on
the
Wednesday
,
when
he
received
him
tête-à-tête
at
his
own
house
and
talked
to
him
long
and
confidentially
.
To
Bolkónski
so
many
people
appeared
contemptible
and
insignificant
creatures
,
and
he
so
longed
to
find
in
someone
the
living
ideal
of
that
perfection
toward
which
he
strove
,
that
he
readily
believed
that
in
Speránski
he
had
found
this
ideal
of
a
perfectly
rational
and
virtuous
man
.
Had
Speránski
sprung
from
the
same
class
as
himself
and
possessed
the
same
breeding
and
traditions
,
Bolkónski
would
soon
have
discovered
his
weak
,
human
,
unheroic
sides
;
but
as
it
was
,
Speránski
's
strange
and
logical
turn
of
mind
inspired
him
with
respect
all
the
more
because
he
did
not
quite
understand
him
.
Moreover
,
Speránski
,
either
because
he
appreciated
the
other
's
capacity
or
because
he
considered
it
necessary
to
win
him
to
his
side
,
showed
off
his
dispassionate
calm
reasonableness
before
Prince
Andrew
and
flattered
him
with
that
subtle
flattery
which
goes
hand
in
hand
with
self-assurance
and
consists
in
a
tacit
assumption
that
one
's
companion
is
the
only
man
besides
oneself
capable
of
understanding
the
folly
of
the
rest
of
mankind
and
the
reasonableness
and
profundity
of
one
's
own
ideas
.
During
their
long
conversation
on
Wednesday
evening
,
Speránski
more
than
once
remarked
:
"
We
regard
everything
that
is
above
the
common
level
of
rooted
custom
...
"
or
,
with
a
smile
:
"
But
we
want
the
wolves
to
be
fed
and
the
sheep
to
be
safe
...
"
or
:
"
They
can
not
understand
this
...
"
and
all
in
a
way
that
seemed
to
say
:
"
We
,
you
and
I
,
understand
what
they
are
and
who
we
are
.
"
This
first
long
conversation
with
Speránski
only
strengthened
in
Prince
Andrew
the
feeling
he
had
experienced
toward
him
at
their
first
meeting
.
He
saw
in
him
a
remarkable
,
clear-thinking
man
of
vast
intellect
who
by
his
energy
and
persistence
had
attained
power
,
which
he
was
using
solely
for
the
welfare
of
Russia
.
In
Prince
Andrew
's
eyes
Speránski
was
the
man
he
would
himself
have
wished
to
be
--
one
who
explained
all
the
facts
of
life
reasonably
,
considered
important
only
what
was
rational
,
and
was
capable
of
applying
the
standard
of
reason
to
everything
.
Everything
seemed
so
simple
and
clear
in
Speránski
's
exposition
that
Prince
Andrew
involuntarily
agreed
with
him
about
everything
.
If
he
replied
and
argued
,
it
was
only
because
he
wished
to
maintain
his
independence
and
not
submit
to
Speránski
's
opinions
entirely
.
Everything
was
right
and
everything
was
as
it
should
be
:
only
one
thing
disconcerted
Prince
Andrew
.
This
was
Speránski
's
cold
,
mirrorlike
look
,
which
did
not
allow
one
to
penetrate
to
his
soul
,
and
his
delicate
white
hands
,
which
Prince
Andrew
involuntarily
watched
as
one
does
watch
the
hands
of
those
who
possess
power
.
This
mirrorlike
gaze
and
those
delicate
hands
irritated
Prince
Andrew
,
he
knew
not
why
.
He
was
unpleasantly
struck
,
too
,
by
the
excessive
contempt
for
others
that
he
observed
in
Speránski
,
and
by
the
diversity
of
lines
of
argument
he
used
to
support
his
opinions
.
He
made
use
of
every
kind
of
mental
device
,
except
analogy
,
and
passed
too
boldly
,
it
seemed
to
Prince
Andrew
,
from
one
to
another
.
Now
he
would
take
up
the
position
of
a
practical
man
and
condemn
dreamers
;
now
that
of
a
satirist
,
and
laugh
ironically
at
his
opponents
;
now
grow
severely
logical
,
or
suddenly
rise
to
the
realm
of
metaphysics
.
(
This
last
resource
was
one
he
very
frequently
employed
.
)
He
would
transfer
a
question
to
metaphysical
heights
,
pass
on
to
definitions
of
space
,
time
,
and
thought
,
and
,
having
deduced
the
refutation
he
needed
,
would
again
descend
to
the
level
of
the
original
discussion
.
In
general
the
trait
of
Speránski
's
mentality
which
struck
Prince
Andrew
most
was
his
absolute
and
unshakable
belief
in
the
power
and
authority
of
reason
.
It
was
evident
that
the
thought
could
never
occur
to
him
which
to
Prince
Andrew
seemed
so
natural
,
namely
,
that
it
is
after
all
impossible
to
express
all
one
thinks
;
and
that
he
had
never
felt
the
doubt
,
"
Is
not
all
I
think
and
believe
nonsense
?
"
And
it
was
just
this
peculiarity
of
Speránski
's
mind
that
particularly
attracted
Prince
Andrew
.
