But he sent an adjutant to take the news round the army. Yes, thank God! Their supreme chief donned a fur coat and, having seated himself in a sleigh, galloped on alone, abandoning his companions. Pierre embraced him and lifting his spectacles kissed his friend on the cheek and looked at him closely.

In myself alone and in that sunshine there is so much happiness; but here...
Anna Mikhaylovna's face expressed a consciousness that the decisive moment had arrived. Why carry you off as if you were some gypsy singing girl?... The same old stateliness, the same cleanliness, the same stillness reigned there, and inside there was the same furniture, the same walls, sounds, and smell, and the same timid faces, only somewhat older. And it is all so simple, pale, and crude in the cold white light of this morning which I feel is dawning for me. Where to?
