War and Peace Volume 2 Book 7 Chapter 10

In which a group of young relations, wrapped in the silvery moonlight of a winter’s eve, reminisce of distant memories with a wistful blend of dreams and reality, and later don festive disguises to join a boisterous procession of mummers. Their joyous sleigh ride across glittering snow-laden plains stirs a sense of enchantment and camaraderie, as youthful spirits revel in the mystery and gaiety of the night.
