Rostóv
,
smoking
his
pipe
and
turning
his
head
about
as
the
water
trickled
down
his
neck
,
listened
inattentively
,
with
an
occasional
glance
at
Ilyín
,
who
was
pressing
close
to
him
.
This
officer
,
a
lad
of
sixteen
who
had
recently
joined
the
regiment
,
was
now
in
the
same
relation
to
Nicholas
that
Nicholas
had
been
to
Denísov
seven
years
before
.
Ilyín
tried
to
imitate
Rostóv
in
everything
and
adored
him
as
a
girl
might
have
done
.
Zdrzhinski
,
the
officer
with
the
long
mustache
,
spoke
grandiloquently
of
the
Saltánov
dam
being
"
a
Russian
Thermopylae
,
"
and
of
how
a
deed
worthy
of
antiquity
had
been
performed
by
General
Raévski
.
He
recounted
how
Raévski
had
led
his
two
sons
onto
the
dam
under
terrific
fire
and
had
charged
with
them
beside
him
.
Rostóv
heard
the
story
and
not
only
said
nothing
to
encourage
Zdrzhinski
's
enthusiasm
but
,
on
the
contrary
,
looked
like
a
man
ashamed
of
what
he
was
hearing
,
though
with
no
intention
of
contradicting
it
.
Since
the
campaigns
of
Austerlitz
and
of
1807
Rostóv
knew
by
experience
that
men
always
lie
when
describing
military
exploits
,
as
he
himself
had
done
when
recounting
them
;
besides
that
,
he
had
experience
enough
to
know
that
nothing
happens
in
war
at
all
as
we
can
imagine
or
relate
it
.
And
so
he
did
not
like
Zdrzhinski
's
tale
,
nor
did
he
like
Zdrzhinski
himself
who
,
with
his
mustaches
extending
over
his
cheeks
,
bent
low
over
the
face
of
his
hearer
,
as
was
his
habit
,
and
crowded
Rostóv
in
the
narrow
shanty
.
Rostóv
looked
at
him
in
silence
.
"
In
the
first
place
,
there
must
have
been
such
a
confusion
and
crowding
on
the
dam
that
was
being
attacked
that
if
Raévski
did
lead
his
sons
there
,
it
could
have
had
no
effect
except
perhaps
on
some
dozen
men
nearest
to
him
,
"
thought
he
,
"
the
rest
could
not
have
seen
how
or
with
whom
Raévski
came
onto
the
dam
.
And
even
those
who
did
see
it
would
not
have
been
much
stimulated
by
it
,
for
what
had
they
to
do
with
Raévski
's
tender
paternal
feelings
when
their
own
skins
were
in
danger
?
And
besides
,
the
fate
of
the
Fatherland
did
not
depend
on
whether
they
took
the
Saltánov
dam
or
not
,
as
we
are
told
was
the
case
at
Thermopylae
.
So
why
should
he
have
made
such
a
sacrifice
?
And
why
expose
his
own
children
in
the
battle
?
I
would
not
have
taken
my
brother
Pétya
there
,
or
even
Ilyín
,
who
's
a
stranger
to
me
but
a
nice
lad
,
but
would
have
tried
to
put
them
somewhere
under
cover
,
"
Nicholas
continued
to
think
,
as
he
listened
to
Zdrzhinski
.
But
he
did
not
express
his
thoughts
,
for
in
such
matters
,
too
,
he
had
gained
experience

He
knew
that
this
tale
redounded
to
the
glory
of
our
arms
and
so
one
had
to
pretend
not
to
doubt
it
.
And
he
acted
accordingly
.
"
I
ca
n't
stand
this
any
more
,
"
said
Ilyín
,
noticing
that
Rostóv
did
not
relish
Zdrzhinski
's
conversation
.
"
My
stockings
and
shirt
...
and
the
water
is
running
on
my
seat
!
I
'll
go
and
look
for
shelter
.
The
rain
seems
less
heavy
.
"
Ilyín
went
out
and
Zdrzhinski
rode
away
.
Five
minutes
later
Ilyín
,
splashing
through
the
mud
,
came
running
back
to
the
shanty
.

"
Hurrah
!
Rostóv
,
come
quick
!
I
've
found
it
!
About
two
hundred
yards
away
there
's
a
tavern
where
ours
have
already
gathered
.
We
can
at
least
get
dry
there
,
and
Mary
Hendríkhovna
's
there
.
"
Mary
Hendríkhovna
was
the
wife
of
the
regimental
doctor
,
a
pretty
young
German
woman
he
had
married
in
Poland
.
The
doctor
,
whether
from
lack
of
means
or
because
he
did
not
like
to
part
from
his
young
wife
in
the
early
days
of
their
marriage
,
took
her
about
with
him
wherever
the
hussar
regiment
went
and
his
jealousy
had
become
a
standing
joke
among
the
hussar
officers
.
Rostóv
threw
his
cloak
over
his
shoulders
,
shouted
to
Lavrúshka
to
follow
with
the
things
,
and
--
now
slipping
in
the
mud
,
now
splashing
right
through
it
--
set
off
with
Ilyín
in
the
lessening
rain
and
the
darkness
that
was
occasionally
rent
by
distant
lightning
.
