On
his
return
from
his
furlough
Nicholas
,
having
been
joyfully
welcomed
by
his
comrades
,
was
sent
to
obtain
remounts
and
brought
back
from
the
Ukraine
excellent
horses
which
pleased
him
and
earned
him
commendation
from
his
commanders
.
During
his
absence
he
had
been
promoted
captain
,
and
when
the
regiment
was
put
on
war
footing
with
an
increase
in
numbers
,
he
was
again
allotted
his
old
squadron
.
The
campaign
began
,
the
regiment
was
moved
into
Poland
on
double
pay
,
new
officers
arrived
,
new
men
and
horses
,
and
above
all
everybody
was
infected
with
the
merrily
excited
mood
that
goes
with
the
commencement
of
a
war
,
and
Rostóv
,
conscious
of
his
advantageous
position
in
the
regiment
,
devoted
himself
entirely
to
the
pleasures
and
interests
of
military
service
,
though
he
knew
that
sooner
or
later
he
would
have
to
relinquish
them
.
The
troops
retired
from
Vílna
for
various
complicated
reasons
of
state
,
political
and
strategic
.
Each
step
of
the
retreat
was
accompanied
by
a
complicated
interplay
of
interests
,
arguments
,
and
passions
at
headquarters
.
For
the
Pávlograd
hussars
,
however
,
the
whole
of
this
retreat
during
the
finest
period
of
summer
and
with
sufficient
supplies
was
a
very
simple
and
agreeable
business
.

It
was
only
at
headquarters
that
there
was
depression
,
uneasiness
,
and
intriguing
;
in
the
body
of
the
army
they
did
not
ask
themselves
where
they
were
going
or
why
.
If
they
regretted
having
to
retreat
,
it
was
only
because
they
had
to
leave
billets
they
had
grown
accustomed
to
,
or
some
pretty
young
Polish
lady
.
If
the
thought
that
things
looked
bad
chanced
to
enter
anyone
's
head
,
he
tried
to
be
as
cheerful
as
befits
a
good
soldier
and
not
to
think
of
the
general
trend
of
affairs
,
but
only
of
the
task
nearest
to
hand
.
First
they
camped
gaily
before
Vílna
,
making
acquaintance
with
the
Polish
landowners
,
preparing
for
reviews
and
being
reviewed
by
the
Emperor
and
other
high
commanders
.
Then
came
an
order
to
retreat
to
Sventsyáni
and
destroy
any
provisions
they
could
not
carry
away
with
them
.
Sventsyáni
was
remembered
by
the
hussars
only
as
the
drunken
camp
,
a
name
the
whole
army
gave
to
their
encampment
there
,
and
because
many
complaints
were
made
against
the
troops
,
who
,
taking
advantage
of
the
order
to
collect
provisions
,
took
also
horses
,
carriages
,
and
carpets
from
the
Polish
proprietors
.
Rostóv
remembered
Sventsyáni
,
because
on
the
first
day
of
their
arrival
at
that
small
town
he
changed
his
sergeant
major
and
was
unable
to
manage
all
the
drunken
men
of
his
squadron
who
,
unknown
to
him
,
had
appropriated
five
barrels
of
old
beer
.
From
Sventsyáni
they
retired
farther
and
farther
to
Drissa
,
and
thence
again
beyond
Drissa
,
drawing
near
to
the
frontier
of
Russia
proper
.
On
the
thirteenth
of
July
the
Pávlograds
took
part
in
a
serious
action
for
the
first
time
.
On
the
twelfth
of
July
,
on
the
eve
of
that
action
,
there
was
a
heavy
storm
of
rain
and
hail
.
In
general
,
the
summer
of
1812
was
remarkable
for
its
storms
.

The
two
Pávlograd
squadrons
were
bivouacking
on
a
field
of
rye
,
which
was
already
in
ear
but
had
been
completely
trodden
down
by
cattle
and
horses
.
The
rain
was
descending
in
torrents
,
and
Rostóv
,
with
a
young
officer
named
Ilyín
,
his
protégé
,
was
sitting
in
a
hastily
constructed
shelter
.
An
officer
of
their
regiment
,
with
long
mustaches
extending
onto
his
cheeks
,
who
after
riding
to
the
staff
had
been
overtaken
by
the
rain
,
entered
Rostóv
's
shelter
.
"
I
have
come
from
the
staff
,
Count
.
Have
you
heard
of
Raévski
's
exploit
?
"
And
the
officer
gave
them
details
of
the
Saltánov
battle
,
which
he
had
heard
at
the
staff
.
