In
the
Petersburg
world
this
sad
side
of
the
affair
again
involuntarily
centered
round
a
single
incident
:
Kutáysov
's
death
.
Everybody
knew
him
,
the
Emperor
liked
him
,
and
he
was
young
and
interesting
.
That
day
everyone
met
with
the
words
:
"
What
a
wonderful
coincidence
!
Just
during
the
service
.
But
what
a
loss
Kutáysov
is
!
How
sorry
I
am
!
"
"
What
did
I
tell
about
Kutúzov
?
"
Prince
Vasíli
now
said
with
a
prophet
's
pride
.
"
I
always
said
he
was
the
only
man
capable
of
defeating
Napoleon
.
"
But
next
day
no
news
arrived
from
the
army
and
the
public
mood
grew
anxious
.
The
courtiers
suffered
because
of
the
suffering
the
suspense
occasioned
the
Emperor
.
"
Fancy
the
Emperor
's
position
!
"
said
they
,
and
instead
of
extolling
Kutúzov
as
they
had
done
the
day
before
,
they
condemned
him
as
the
cause
of
the
Emperor
's
anxiety
.
That
day
Prince
Vasíli
no
longer
boasted
of
his
protégé
Kutúzov
,
but
remained
silent
when
the
commander
in
chief
was
mentioned
.
Moreover
,
toward
evening
,
as
if
everything
conspired
to
make
Petersburg
society
anxious
and
uneasy
,
a
terrible
piece
of
news
was
added
.
Countess
Hélène
Bezúkhova
had
suddenly
died
of
that
terrible
malady
it
had
been
so
agreeable
to
mention
.
Officially
,
at
large
gatherings
,
everyone
said
that
Countess
Bezúkhova
had
died
of
a
terrible
attack
of
angina
pectoris
,
but
in
intimate
circles
details
were
mentioned
of
how
the
private
physician
of
the
Queen
of
Spain
had
prescribed
small
doses
of
a
certain
drug
to
produce
a
certain
effect
;
but
Hélène
,
tortured
by
the
fact
that
the
old
count
suspected
her
and
that
her
husband
to
whom
she
had
written
(
that
wretched
,
profligate
Pierre
)
had
not
replied
,
had
suddenly
taken
a
very
large
dose
of
the
drug
,
and
had
died
in
agony
before
assistance
could
be
rendered
her
.
It
was
said
that
Prince
Vasíli
and
the
old
count
had
turned
upon
the
Italian
,
but
the
latter
had
produced
such
letters
from
the
unfortunate
deceased
that
they
had
immediately
let
the
matter
drop
.
Talk
in
general
centered
round
three
melancholy
facts
:
the
Emperor
's
lack
of
news
,
the
loss
of
Kutáysov
,
and
the
death
of
Hélène
.
On
the
third
day
after
Kutúzov
's
report
a
country
gentleman
arrived
from
Moscow
,
and
news
of
the
surrender
of
Moscow
to
the
French
spread
through
the
whole
town
.
This
was
terrible
!
What
a
position
for
the
Emperor
to
be
in
!
Kutúzov
was
a
traitor
,
and
Prince
Vasíli
during
the
visits
of
condolence
paid
to
him
on
the
occasion
of
his
daughter
's
death
said
of
Kutúzov
,
whom
he
had
formerly
praised
(
it
was
excusable
for
him
in
his
grief
to
forget
what
he
had
said
)
,
that
it
was
impossible
to
expect
anything
else
from
a
blind
and
depraved
old
man
.
"
I
only
wonder
that
the
fate
of
Russia
could
have
been
entrusted
to
such
a
man
"
