Having
left
Petersburg
on
the
seventh
of
December
with
his
suite
--
Count
Tolstóy
,
Prince
Volkónski
,
Arakchéev
,
and
others
--
the
Emperor
reached
Vílna
on
the
eleventh
,
and
in
his
traveling
sleigh
drove
straight
to
the
castle
.
In
spite
of
the
severe
frost
some
hundred
generals
and
staff
officers
in
full
parade
uniform
stood
in
front
of
the
castle
,
as
well
as
a
guard
of
honor
of
the
Semënov
regiment
.
A
courier
who
galloped
to
the
castle
in
advance
,
in
a
troyka
with
three
foam-flecked
horses
,
shouted
"
Coming
!
"
and
Konovnítsyn
rushed
into
the
vestibule
to
inform
Kutúzov
,
who
was
waiting
in
the
hall
porter
's
little
lodge
.

A
minute
later
the
old
man
's
large
stout
figure
in
full-dress
uniform
,
his
chest
covered
with
orders
and
a
scarf
drawn
round
his
stomach
,
waddled
out
into
the
porch
.
He
put
on
his
hat
with
its
peaks
to
the
sides
and
,
holding
his
gloves
in
his
hand
and
walking
with
an
effort
sideways
down
the
steps
to
the
level
of
the
street
,
took
in
his
hand
the
report
he
had
prepared
for
the
Emperor
.
There
was
running
to
and
fro
and
whispering
;
another
troyka
flew
furiously
up
,
and
then
all
eyes
were
turned
on
an
approaching
sleigh
in
which
the
figures
of
the
Emperor
and
Volkónski
could
already
be
descried
.
From
the
habit
of
fifty
years
all
this
had
a
physically
agitating
effect
on
the
old
general
.
He
carefully
and
hastily
felt
himself
all
over
,
readjusted
his
hat
,
and
pulling
himself
together
drew
himself
up
and
,
at
the
very
moment
when
the
Emperor
,
having
alighted
from
the
sleigh
,
lifted
his
eyes
to
him
,
handed
him
the
report
and
began
speaking
in
his
smooth
,
ingratiating
voice
.
The
Emperor
with
a
rapid
glance
scanned
Kutúzov
from
head
to
foot
,
frowned
for
an
instant
,
but
immediately
mastering
himself
went
up
to
the
old
man
,
extended
his
arms
and
embraced
him

And
this
embrace
too
,
owing
to
a
long-standing
impression
related
to
his
innermost
feelings
,
had
its
usual
effect
on
Kutúzov
and
he
gave
a
sob
.
The
Emperor
greeted
the
officers
and
the
Semënov
guard
,
and
again
pressing
the
old
man
's
hand
went
with
him
into
the
castle
.
When
alone
with
the
field
marshal
the
Emperor
expressed
his
dissatisfaction
at
the
slowness
of
the
pursuit
and
at
the
mistakes
made
at
Krásnoe
and
the
Berëzina
,
and
informed
him
of
his
intentions
for
a
future
campaign
abroad
.
Kutúzov
made
no
rejoinder
or
remark
.
The
same
submissive
,
expressionless
look
with
which
he
had
listened
to
the
Emperor
's
commands
on
the
field
of
Austerlitz
seven
years
before
settled
on
his
face
now
.
