Next
day
,
the
third
of
March
,
soon
after
one
o'clock
,
two
hundred
and
fifty
members
of
the
English
Club
and
fifty
guests
were
awaiting
the
guest
of
honor
and
hero
of
the
Austrian
campaign
,
Prince
Bagratión
,
to
dinner
.
On
the
first
arrival
of
the
news
of
the
battle
of
Austerlitz
,
Moscow
had
been
bewildered
.
At
that
time
,
the
Russians
were
so
used
to
victories
that
on
receiving
news
of
the
defeat
some
would
simply
not
believe
it
,
while
others
sought
some
extraordinary
explanation
of
so
strange
an
event
.
In
the
English
Club
,
where
all
who
were
distinguished
,
important
,
and
well
informed
foregathered
when
the
news
began
to
arrive
in
December
,
nothing
was
said
about
the
war
and
the
last
battle
,
as
though
all
were
in
a
conspiracy
of
silence
.
The
men
who
set
the
tone
in
conversation
--
Count
Rostopchín
,
Prince
Yúri
Dolgorúkov
,
Valúev
,
Count
Markóv
,
and
Prince
Vyázemski
--
did
not
show
themselves
at
the
club
,
but
met
in
private
houses
in
intimate
circles
,
and
the
Moscovites
who
took
their
opinions
from
others
--
Ilyá
Rostóv
among
them
--
remained
for
a
while
without
any
definite
opinion
on
the
subject
of
the
war
and
without
leaders
.
The
Moscovites
felt
that
something
was
wrong
and
that
to
discuss
the
bad
news
was
difficult
,
and
so
it
was
best
to
be
silent
.
But
after
a
while
,
just
as
a
jury
comes
out
of
its
room
,
the
bigwigs
who
guided
the
club
's
opinion
reappeared
,
and
everybody
began
speaking
clearly
and
definitely
.
Reasons
were
found
for
the
incredible
,
unheard-of
,
and
impossible
event
of
a
Russian
defeat
,
everything
became
clear
,
and
in
all
corners
of
Moscow
the
same
things
began
to
be
said
.
These
reasons
were
the
treachery
of
the
Austrians
,
a
defective
commissariat
,
the
treachery
of
the
Pole
Przebyszéwski
and
of
the
Frenchman
Langeron
,
Kutúzov
's
incapacity
,
and
(
it
was
whispered
)
the
youth
and
inexperience
of
the
sovereign
,
who
had
trusted
worthless
and
insignificant
people
.
But
the
army
,
the
Russian
army
,
everyone
declared
,
was
extraordinary
and
had
achieved
miracles
of
valor
.
The
soldiers
,
officers
,
and
generals
were
heroes
.
But
the
hero
of
heroes
was
Prince
Bagratión
,
distinguished
by
his
Schön
Grabern
affair
and
by
the
retreat
from
Austerlitz
,
where
he
alone
had
withdrawn
his
column
unbroken
and
had
all
day
beaten
back
an
enemy
force
twice
as
numerous
as
his
own
.
What
also
conduced
to
Bagratión
's
being
selected
as
Moscow
's
hero
was
the
fact
that
he
had
no
connections
in
the
city
and
was
a
stranger
there
.
In
his
person
,
honor
was
shown
to
a
simple
fighting
Russian
soldier
without
connections
and
intrigues
,
and
to
one
who
was
associated
by
memories
of
the
Italian
campaign
with
the
name
of
Suvórov
.
Moreover
,
paying
such
honor
to
Bagratión
was
the
best
way
of
expressing
disapproval
and
dislike
of
Kutúzov
.
"
Had
there
been
no
Bagratión
,
it
would
have
been
necessary
to
invent
him
,
"
said
the
wit
Shinshín
,
parodying
the
words
of
Voltaire
.
Kutúzov
no
one
spoke
of
,
except
some
who
abused
him
in
whispers
,
calling
him
a
court
weathercock
and
an
old
satyr
All
Moscow
repeated
Prince
Dolgorúkov
's
saying
:
"
If
you
go
on
modeling
and
modeling
you
must
get
smeared
with
clay
,
"
suggesting
consolation
for
our
defeat
by
the
memory
of
former
victories
;
and
the
words
of
Rostopchín
,
that
French
soldiers
have
to
be
incited
to
battle
by
highfalutin
words
,
and
Germans
by
logical
arguments
to
show
them
that
it
is
more
dangerous
to
run
away
than
to
advance
,
but
that
Russian
soldiers
only
need
to
be
restrained
and
held
back
!
On
all
sides
,
new
and
fresh
anecdotes
were
heard
of
individual
examples
of
heroism
shown
by
our
officers
and
men
at
Austerlitz
.
One
had
saved
a
standard
,
another
had
killed
five
Frenchmen
,
a
third
had
loaded
five
cannon
singlehanded
.
Berg
was
mentioned
,
by
those
who
did
not
know
him
,
as
having
,
when
wounded
in
the
right
hand
,
taken
his
sword
in
the
left
,
and
gone
forward
.
Of
Bolkónski
,
nothing
was
said
,
and
only
those
who
knew
him
intimately
regretted
that
he
had
died
so
young
,
leaving
a
pregnant
wife
with
his
eccentric
father
.
On
that
third
of
March
,
all
the
rooms
in
the
English
Club
were
filled
with
a
hum
of
conversation
,
like
the
hum
of
bees
swarming
in
springtime
.
The
members
and
guests
of
the
club
wandered
hither
and
thither
,
sat
,
stood
,
met
,
and
separated
,
some
in
uniform
and
some
in
evening
dress
,
and
a
few
here
and
there
with
powdered
hair
and
in
Russian
kaftáns
.
Powdered
footmen
,
in
livery
with
buckled
shoes
and
smart
stockings
,
stood
at
every
door
anxiously
noting
visitors
'
every
movement
in
order
to
offer
their
services
.
Most
of
those
present
were
elderly
,
respected
men
with
broad
,
self-confident
faces
,
fat
fingers
,
and
resolute
gestures
and
voices
.
This
class
of
guests
and
members
sat
in
certain
habitual
places
and
met
in
certain
habitual
groups
.
A
minority
of
those
present
were
casual
guests
--
chiefly
young
men
,
among
whom
were
Denísov
,
Rostóv
,
and
Dólokhov
--
who
was
now
again
an
officer
in
the
Semënov
regiment
.
The
faces
of
these
young
people
,
especially
those
who
were
military
men
,
bore
that
expression
of
condescending
respect
for
their
elders
which
seems
to
say
to
the
older
generation
,
"
We
are
prepared
to
respect
and
honor
you
,
but
all
the
same
remember
that
the
future
belongs
to
us
.
"
Nesvítski
was
there
as
an
old
member
of
the
club
.
Pierre
,
who
at
his
wife
's
command
had
let
his
hair
grow
and
abandoned
his
spectacles
,
went
about
the
rooms
fashionably
dressed
but
looking
sad
and
dull
.
Here
,
as
elsewhere
,
he
was
surrounded
by
an
atmosphere
of
subservience
to
his
wealth
,
and
being
in
the
habit
of
lording
it
over
these
people
,
he
treated
them
with
absent-minded
contempt
.
By
his
age
he
should
have
belonged
to
the
younger
men
,
but
by
his
wealth
and
connections
he
belonged
to
the
groups
of
old
and
honored
guests
,
and
so
he
went
from
one
group
to
another
.
Some
of
the
most
important
old
men
were
the
center
of
groups
which
even
strangers
approached
respectfully
to
hear
the
voices
of
well-known
men
.
The
largest
circles
formed
round
Count
Rostopchín
,
Valúev
,
and
Narýshkin
.
Rostopchín
was
describing
how
the
Russians
had
been
overwhelmed
by
flying
Austrians
and
had
had
to
force
their
way
through
them
with
bayonets
.
Valúev
was
confidentially
telling
that
Uvárov
had
been
sent
from
Petersburg
to
ascertain
what
Moscow
was
thinking
about
Austerlitz
.
