Prince
Andrew
sighed
and
broke
the
seal
of
another
envelope
.
It
was
a
closely
written
letter
of
two
sheets
from
Bilíbin
.
He
folded
it
up
without
reading
it
and
reread
his
father
's
letter
,
ending
with
the
words
:
"
Gallop
off
to
Kórchevo
and
carry
out
instructions
!
"
"
No
,
pardon
me
,
I
wo
n't
go
now
till
the
child
is
better
,
"
thought
he
,
going
to
the
door
and
looking
into
the
nursery
.
Princess
Mary
was
still
standing
by
the
cot
,
gently
rocking
the
baby
.

"
Ah
yes
,
and
what
else
did
he
say
that
's
unpleasant
?
"
thought
Prince
Andrew
,
recalling
his
father
's
letter
.
"
Yes
,
we
have
gained
a
victory
over
Bonaparte
,
just
when
I
'm
not
serving
.
Yes
,
yes
,
he
's
always
poking
fun
at
me
...
Ah
,
well
!
Let
him
!
"
And
he
began
reading
Bilíbin
's
letter
which
was
written
in
French
.
He
read
without
understanding
half
of
it
,
read
only
to
forget
,
if
but
for
a
moment
,
what
he
had
too
long
been
thinking
of
so
painfully
to
the
exclusion
of
all
else
.
Bilíbin
was
now
at
army
headquarters
in
a
diplomatic
capacity
,
and
though
he
wrote
in
French
and
used
French
jests
and
French
idioms
,
he
described
the
whole
campaign
with
a
fearless
self-censure
and
self-derision
genuinely
Russian
.
Bilíbin
wrote
that
the
obligation
of
diplomatic
discretion
tormented
him
,
and
he
was
happy
to
have
in
Prince
Andrew
a
reliable
correspondent
to
whom
he
could
pour
out
the
bile
he
had
accumulated
at
the
sight
of
all
that
was
being
done
in
the
army
.
The
letter
was
old
,
having
been
written
before
the
battle
at
Preussisch-Eylau
.
"
Since
the
day
of
our
brilliant
success
at
Austerlitz
,
"
wrote
Bilíbin
,
"
as
you
know
,
my
dear
prince
,
I
never
leave
headquarters
.
I
have
certainly
acquired
a
taste
for
war
,
and
it
is
just
as
well
for
me
;
what
I
have
seen
during
these
last
three
months
is
incredible
.
"
I
begin
ab
ovo
.
'
The
enemy
of
the
human
race
,
'
as
you
know
,
attacks
the
Prussians
.
The
Prussians
are
our
faithful
allies
who
have
only
betrayed
us
three
times
in
three
years
.
We
take
up
their
cause
,
but
it
turns
out
that
'
the
enemy
of
the
human
race
'
pays
no
heed
to
our
fine
speeches
and
in
his
rude
and
savage
way
throws
himself
on
the
Prussians
without
giving
them
time
to
finish
the
parade
they
had
begun
,
and
in
two
twists
of
the
hand
he
breaks
them
to
smithereens
and
installs
himself
in
the
palace
at
Potsdam
.

"'
I
most
ardently
desire
,
'
writes
the
King
of
Prussia
to
Bonaparte
,
'
that
Your
Majesty
should
be
received
and
treated
in
my
palace
in
a
manner
agreeable
to
yourself
,
and
in
so
far
as
circumstances
allowed
,
I
have
hastened
to
take
all
steps
to
that
end
.
May
I
have
succeeded
!
'
The
Prussian
generals
pride
themselves
on
being
polite
to
the
French
and
lay
down
their
arms
at
the
first
demand
.
"
The
head
of
the
garrison
at
Glogau
,
with
ten
thousand
men
,
asks
the
King
of
Prussia
what
he
is
to
do
if
he
is
summoned
to
surrender
...
All
this
is
absolutely
true
.
