A
man
who
simply
wished
to
retain
his
lucrative
post
would
today
agree
with
Pfuel
,
tomorrow
with
his
opponent
,
and
the
day
after
,
merely
to
avoid
responsibility
or
to
please
the
Emperor
,
would
declare
that
he
had
no
opinion
at
all
on
the
matter
.
Another
who
wished
to
gain
some
advantage
would
attract
the
Emperor
's
attention
by
loudly
advocating
the
very
thing
the
Emperor
had
hinted
at
the
day
before
,
and
would
dispute
and
shout
at
the
council
,
beating
his
breast
and
challenging
those
who
did
not
agree
with
him
to
duels
,
thereby
proving
that
he
was
prepared
to
sacrifice
himself
for
the
common
good
.
A
third
,
in
the
absence
of
opponents
,
between
two
councils
would
simply
solicit
a
special
gratuity
for
his
faithful
services
,
well
knowing
that
at
that
moment
people
would
be
too
busy
to
refuse
him
.
A
fourth
while
seemingly
overwhelmed
with
work
would
often
come
accidentally
under
the
Emperor
's
eye
.
A
fifth
,
to
achieve
his
long-cherished
aim
of
dining
with
the
Emperor
,
would
stubbornly
insist
on
the
correctness
or
falsity
of
some
newly
emerging
opinion
and
for
this
object
would
produce
arguments
more
or
less
forcible
and
correct
.
All
the
men
of
this
party
were
fishing
for
rubles
,
decorations
,
and
promotions
,
and
in
this
pursuit
watched
only
the
weathercock
of
imperial
favor
,
and
directly
they
noticed
it
turning
in
any
direction
,
this
whole
drone
population
of
the
army
began
blowing
hard
that
way
,
so
that
it
was
all
the
harder
for
the
Emperor
to
turn
it
elsewhere
.
Amid
the
uncertainties
of
the
position
,
with
the
menace
of
serious
danger
giving
a
peculiarly
threatening
character
to
everything
,
amid
this
vortex
of
intrigue
,
egotism
,
conflict
of
views
and
feelings
,
and
the
diversity
of
race
among
these
people
--
this
eighth
and
largest
party
of
those
preoccupied
with
personal
interests
imparted
great
confusion
and
obscurity
to
the
common
task
.
Whatever
question
arose
,
a
swarm
of
these
drones
,
without
having
finished
their
buzzing
on
a
previous
theme
,
flew
over
to
the
new
one
and
by
their
hum
drowned
and
obscured
the
voices
of
those
who
were
disputing
honestly
.
From
among
all
these
parties
,
just
at
the
time
Prince
Andrew
reached
the
army
,
another
,
a
ninth
party
,
was
being
formed
and
was
beginning
to
raise
its
voice
.
This
was
the
party
of
the
elders
,
reasonable
men
experienced
and
capable
in
state
affairs
,
who
,
without
sharing
any
of
those
conflicting
opinions
,
were
able
to
take
a
detached
view
of
what
was
going
on
at
the
staff
at
headquarters
and
to
consider
means
of
escape
from
this
muddle
,
indecision
,
intricacy
,
and
weakness
The
men
of
this
party
said
and
thought
that
what
was
wrong
resulted
chiefly
from
the
Emperor
's
presence
in
the
army
with
his
military
court
and
from
the
consequent
presence
there
of
an
indefinite
,
conditional
,
and
unsteady
fluctuation
of
relations
,
which
is
in
place
at
court
but
harmful
in
an
army
;
that
a
sovereign
should
reign
but
not
command
the
army
,
and
that
the
only
way
out
of
the
position
would
be
for
the
Emperor
and
his
court
to
leave
the
army
;
that
the
mere
presence
of
the
Emperor
paralyzed
the
action
of
fifty
thousand
men
required
to
secure
his
personal
safety
,
and
that
the
worst
commander
in
chief
,
if
independent
,
would
be
better
than
the
very
best
one
trammeled
by
the
presence
and
authority
of
the
monarch
.
Just
at
the
time
Prince
Andrew
was
living
unoccupied
at
Drissa
,
Shishkóv
,
the
Secretary
of
State
and
one
of
the
chief
representatives
of
this
party
,
wrote
a
letter
to
the
Emperor
which
Arakchéev
and
Balashëv
agreed
to
sign
.
In
this
letter
,
availing
himself
of
permission
given
him
by
the
Emperor
to
discuss
the
general
course
of
affairs
,
he
respectfully
suggested
--
on
the
plea
that
it
was
necessary
for
the
sovereign
to
arouse
a
warlike
spirit
in
the
people
of
the
capital
--
that
the
Emperor
should
leave
the
army
.
That
arousing
of
the
people
by
their
sovereign
and
his
call
to
them
to
defend
their
country
--
the
very
incitement
which
was
the
chief
cause
of
Russia
's
triumph
in
so
far
as
it
was
produced
by
the
Tsar
's
personal
presence
in
Moscow
--
was
suggested
to
the
Emperor
,
and
accepted
by
him
,
as
a
pretext
for
quitting
the
army
.
This
letter
had
not
yet
been
presented
to
the
Emperor
when
Barclay
,
one
day
at
dinner
,
informed
Bolkónski
that
the
sovereign
wished
to
see
him
personally
,
to
question
him
about
Turkey
,
and
that
Prince
Andrew
was
to
present
himself
at
Bennigsen
's
quarters
at
six
that
evening
.
News
was
received
at
the
Emperor
's
quarters
that
very
day
of
a
fresh
movement
by
Napoleon
which
might
endanger
the
army
--
news
subsequently
found
to
be
false
.
And
that
morning
Colonel
Michaud
had
ridden
round
the
Drissa
fortifications
with
the
Emperor
and
had
pointed
out
to
him
that
this
fortified
camp
constructed
by
Pfuel
,
and
till
then
considered
a
chef-d'oeuvre
of
tactical
science
which
would
ensure
Napoleon
's
destruction
,
was
an
absurdity
,
threatening
the
destruction
of
the
Russian
army
.
Prince
Andrew
arrived
at
Bennigsen
's
quarters
--
a
country
gentleman
's
house
of
moderate
size
,
situated
on
the
very
banks
of
the
river
.
Neither
Bennigsen
nor
the
Emperor
was
there
,
but
Chernýshev
,
the
Emperor
's
aide-de-camp
,
received
Bolkónski
and
informed
him
that
the
Emperor
,
accompanied
by
General
Bennigsen
and
Marquis
Paulucci
,
had
gone
a
second
time
that
day
to
inspect
the
fortifications
of
the
Drissa
camp
,
of
the
suitability
of
which
serious
doubts
were
beginning
to
be
felt
.
