"
Yes
,
I
am
very
glad
,
"
he
said
.
"
How
can
people
be
dissatisfied
with
anything
?
"
thought
Natásha
.
"
Especially
such
a
capital
fellow
as
Bezúkhov
!
"
In
Natásha
's
eyes
all
the
people
at
the
ball
alike
were
good
,
kind
,
and
splendid
people
,
loving
one
another
;
none
of
them
capable
of
injuring
another
--
and
so
they
ought
all
to
be
happy
.
Next
day
Prince
Andrew
thought
of
the
ball
,
but
his
mind
did
not
dwell
on
it
long
.
"
Yes
,
it
was
a
very
brilliant
ball
,
"
and
then
...
"
Yes
,
that
little
Rostóva
is
very
charming
.
There
's
something
fresh
,
original
,
un-Petersburg-like
about
her
that
distinguishes
her
.
"
That
was
all
he
thought
about
yesterday
's
ball
,
and
after
his
morning
tea
he
set
to
work
.
But
either
from
fatigue
or
want
of
sleep
he
was
ill-disposed
for
work
and
could
get
nothing
done
.
He
kept
criticizing
his
own
work
,
as
he
often
did
,
and
was
glad
when
he
heard
someone
coming
.
The
visitor
was
Bítski
,
who
served
on
various
committees
,
frequented
all
the
societies
in
Petersburg
,
and
was
a
passionate
devotee
of
the
new
ideas
and
of
Speránski
,
and
a
diligent
Petersburg
newsmonger
--
one
of
those
men
who
choose
their
opinions
like
their
clothes
according
to
the
fashion
,
but
who
for
that
very
reason
appear
to
be
the
warmest
partisans
.
Hardly
had
he
got
rid
of
his
hat
before
he
ran
into
Prince
Andrew
's
room
with
a
preoccupied
air
and
at
once
began
talking
.
He
had
just
heard
particulars
of
that
morning
's
sitting
of
the
Council
of
State
opened
by
the
Emperor
,
and
he
spoke
of
it
enthusiastically
.
The
Emperor
's
speech
had
been
extraordinary
.
It
had
been
a
speech
such
as
only
constitutional
monarchs
deliver
.
"
The
Sovereign
plainly
said
that
the
Council
and
Senate
are
estates
of
the
realm
,
he
said
that
the
government
must
rest
not
on
authority
but
on
secure
bases
.
The
Emperor
said
that
the
fiscal
system
must
be
reorganized
and
the
accounts
published
,
"
recounted
Bítski
,
emphasizing
certain
words
and
opening
his
eyes
significantly
.
"
Ah
,
yes
!
Today
's
events
mark
an
epoch
,
the
greatest
epoch
in
our
history
,
"
he
concluded
.
Prince
Andrew
listened
to
the
account
of
the
opening
of
the
Council
of
State
,
which
he
had
so
impatiently
awaited
and
to
which
he
had
attached
such
importance
,
and
was
surprised
that
this
event
,
now
that
it
had
taken
place
,
did
not
affect
him
,
and
even
seemed
quite
insignificant
.
He
listened
with
quiet
irony
to
Bítski
's
enthusiastic
account
of
it
.
A
very
simple
thought
occurred
to
him
:
"
What
does
it
matter
to
me
or
to
Bítski
what
the
Emperor
was
pleased
to
say
at
the
Council
?
Can
all
that
make
me
any
happier
or
better
?
"
And
this
simple
reflection
suddenly
destroyed
all
the
interest
Prince
Andrew
had
felt
in
the
impending
reforms
.
He
was
going
to
dine
that
evening
at
Speránski
's
,
"
with
only
a
few
friends
,
"
as
the
host
had
said
when
inviting
him
.
The
prospect
of
that
dinner
in
the
intimate
home
circle
of
the
man
he
so
admired
had
greatly
interested
Prince
Andrew
,
especially
as
he
had
not
yet
seen
Speránski
in
his
domestic
surroundings
,
but
now
he
felt
disinclined
to
go
to
it
.
At
the
appointed
hour
,
however
,
he
entered
the
modest
house
Speránski
owned
in
the
Taurida
Gardens
.
In
the
parqueted
dining
room
of
this
small
house
,
remarkable
for
its
extreme
cleanliness
(
suggesting
that
of
a
monastery
)
,
Prince
Andrew
,
who
was
rather
late
,
found
the
friendly
gathering
of
Speránski
's
intimate
acquaintances
already
assembled
at
five
o'clock
.
There
were
no
ladies
present
except
Speránski
's
little
daughter
(
long-faced
like
her
father
)
and
her
governess
.
The
other
guests
were
Gervais
,
Magnítski
,
and
Stolýpin
.
While
still
in
the
anteroom
Prince
Andrew
heard
loud
voices
and
a
ringing
staccato
laugh
--
a
laugh
such
as
one
hears
on
the
stage
.
Someone
--
it
sounded
like
Speránski
--
was
distinctly
ejaculating
ha-ha-ha
.
Prince
Andrew
had
never
before
heard
Speránski
's
famous
laugh
,
and
this
ringing
,
high-pitched
laughter
from
a
statesman
made
a
strange
impression
on
him
.
