The battle is won, and there is nothing extraordinary in the capture of Murat. Bagration was slow in effecting the junction--though that was the chief aim of all at headquarters--because, as he alleged, he exposed his army to danger on this march, and it was best for him to retire more to the left and more to the south, worrying the enemy from flank and rear and securing from the Ukraine recruits for his army; and it looks as if he planned this in order not to come under the command of the detested foreigner Barclay, whose rank was inferior to his own.

As a general on duty on Kutuzov's staff, he applied himself to business with zeal and perseverance and surprised Kutuzov by his willingness and accuracy in work. replied another officer. Before Shinshin had time to utter the joke he was ready to make on the count's patriotism, Natasha jumped up from her place and ran to her father. Their faces all looked excited and worried. Oh, yes!
With an incessant hum of voices the crowd advanced to the table. The senior artillery officer, a tall, long-legged, pockmarked man, moved over to Pierre as if to see the action of the farthest gun and looked at him with curiosity. The lieutenant colonel of hussars smiled beneath his mustache at the orderly's tone, dismounted, gave his horse to a dispatch runner, and approached Bolkonski with a slight bow. She suddenly began to cry. he repeated. This was the first time since his return that they had talked alone and about their love. Get him to his place and give him some water, said Rostov, pointing to the Cossack. That's what comes of a modern education, exclaimed the visitor.
What is it? Yes, yes, of course! These gentlemen received Prince Andrew as one of themselves, an honor they did not extend to many. And the Cossacks looked round in surprise at the sound, like the yelp of a dog, with which Denisov turned away, walked to the wattle fence, and seized hold of it. See how that fellow has loaded himself up, he can hardly walk! Then you married, my dear sir--took on yourself responsibility for the guidance of a young woman; and what have you done? Only look how glorious it is! Who these men were nobody knew.
Incidents were related evidently confirming the opinion that everything was going from bad to worse, but whether telling a story or giving an opinion the speaker always stopped, or was stopped, at the point beyond which his criticism might touch the sovereign himself.

All night long such announcements were continually being received by the count. This officer, a lad of sixteen who had recently joined the regiment, was now in the same relation to Nicholas that Nicholas had been to Denisov seven years before.
It was obviously strange to her to think that this stern handsome man should be Andrusha- -the slender mischievous boy who had been her playfellow in childhood. The Russian army had to act like a whip to a running animal. His health was better in the winter, but last spring his wound reopened and the doctor said he ought to go away for a cure. Here is our commanding officer... I'll show you, I'll show you! He's coming! Arguing?
