Volume 2: Book 6 - Chapter 18

Characters Present:

Prince Andrew Bolkónski
Michael Mikháylovich Speránski


Location:

Speránski's  home

On the day following the ball, Prince Andrew reflects on the pleasant evening that he had, and remembers Natasha Rostóv fondly.

In his office, Prince Andrew has trouble settling in to do his work and regrets having accepted to attend a quiet dinner at Michael Mikháylovich Speránski's home.

Prince Andrew goes to the dinner, and discovers that he doesn't like Speránski nearly as much as he thought he did, and is bored and mildly disgusted by the whole evening.  He leaves, feeling disillusioned with all of the work that he has been putting into legal reforms and the crowd of people he had been associating with.
