The
more
closely
a
man
was
engaged
in
the
events
then
taking
place
in
Russia
the
less
did
he
realize
their
significance
.
In
Petersburg
and
in
the
provinces
at
a
distance
from
Moscow
,
ladies
,
and
gentlemen
in
militia
uniforms
,
wept
for
Russia
and
its
ancient
capital
and
talked
of
self-sacrifice
and
so
on
;
but
in
the
army
which
retired
beyond
Moscow
there
was
little
talk
or
thought
of
Moscow
,
and
when
they
caught
sight
of
its
burned
ruins
no
one
swore
to
be
avenged
on
the
French
,
but
they
thought
about
their
next
pay
,
their
next
quarters
,
of
Matrëshka
the
vivandière
,
and
like
matters
.
As
the
war
had
caught
him
in
the
service
,
Nicholas
Rostóv
took
a
close
and
prolonged
part
in
the
defense
of
his
country
,
but
did
so
casually
,
without
any
aim
at
self-sacrifice
,
and
he
therefore
looked
at
what
was
going
on
in
Russia
without
despair
and
without
dismally
racking
his
brains
over
it
.
Had
he
been
asked
what
he
thought
of
the
state
of
Russia
,
he
would
have
said
that
it
was
not
his
business
to
think
about
it
,
that
Kutúzov
and
others
were
there
for
that
purpose
,
but
that
he
had
heard
that
the
regiments
were
to
be
made
up
to
their
full
strength
,
that
fighting
would
probably
go
on
for
a
long
time
yet
,
and
that
things
being
so
it
was
quite
likely
he
might
be
in
command
of
a
regiment
in
a
couple
of
years
'
time
.

As
he
looked
at
the
matter
in
this
way
,
he
learned
that
he
was
being
sent
to
Vorónezh
to
buy
remounts
for
his
division
,
not
only
without
regret
at
being
prevented
from
taking
part
in
the
coming
battle
,
but
with
the
greatest
pleasure
--
which
he
did
not
conceal
and
which
his
comrades
fully
understood
.
A
few
days
before
the
battle
of
Borodinó
,
Nicholas
received
the
necessary
money
and
warrants
,
and
having
sent
some
hussars
on
in
advance
,
he
set
out
with
post
horses
for
Vorónezh
.
Only
a
man
who
has
experienced
it
--
that
is
,
has
passed
some
months
continuously
in
an
atmosphere
of
campaigning
and
war
--
can
understand
the
delight
Nicholas
felt
when
he
escaped
from
the
region
covered
by
the
army
's
foraging
operations
,
provision
trains
,
and
hospitals
.
When
--
free
from
soldiers
,
wagons
,
and
the
filthy
traces
of
a
camp
--
he
saw
villages
with
peasants
and
peasant
women
,
gentlemen
's
country
houses
,
fields
where
cattle
were
grazing
,
posthouses
with
stationmasters
asleep
in
them
,
he
rejoiced
as
though
seeing
all
this
for
the
first
time
.
What
for
a
long
while
specially
surprised
and
delighted
him
were
the
women
,
young
and
healthy
,
without
a
dozen
officers
making
up
to
each
of
them
;
women
,
too
,
who
were
pleased
and
flattered
that
a
passing
officer
should
joke
with
them
.

In
the
highest
spirits
Nicholas
arrived
at
night
at
a
hotel
in
Vorónezh
,
ordered
things
he
had
long
been
deprived
of
in
camp
,
and
next
day
,
very
clean-shaven
and
in
a
full-dress
uniform
he
had
not
worn
for
a
long
time
,
went
to
present
himself
to
the
authorities
.
The
commander
of
the
militia
was
a
civilian
general
,
an
old
man
who
was
evidently
pleased
with
his
military
designation
and
rank
.
He
received
Nicholas
brusquely
(
imagining
this
to
be
characteristically
military
)
and
questioned
him
with
an
important
air
,
as
if
considering
the
general
progress
of
affairs
and
approving
and
disapproving
with
full
right
to
do
so
.
Nicholas
was
in
such
good
spirits
that
this
merely
amused
him
.
From
the
commander
of
the
militia
he
drove
to
the
governor
.
The
governor
was
a
brisk
little
man
,
very
simple
and
affable
.
He
indicated
the
stud
farms
at
which
Nicholas
might
procure
horses
,
recommended
to
him
a
horse
dealer
in
the
town
and
a
landowner
fourteen
miles
out
of
town
who
had
the
best
horses
,
and
promised
to
assist
him
in
every
way
.
