In Which We Discuss War and Peace, Part 13, Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Pierre has finally found the inner peace and harmony he's been seeking all this time.  All his old worries - assassinating Napoleon, anxiety over his wife embarrassing him - seem small and ridiculous now.  He appreciates his life and finds enjoyment in the sheer simplicity of his life.  All the qualities which made him awkward and out of place in society - his ability to sit still and think, his strength, his kindness, his ability to speak French - make him very popular here.
