Now
,
is
it
suitable
that
Count
Kutúzov
,
the
oldest
general
in
Russia
,
should
preside
at
that
tribunal
?
He
will
get
nothing
for
his
pains
!
How
could
they
make
a
man
commander
in
chief
who
can
not
mount
a
horse
,
who
drops
asleep
at
a
council
,
and
has
the
very
worst
morals
!
A
good
reputation
he
made
for
himself
at
Bucharest
!
I
do
n't
speak
of
his
capacity
as
a
general
,
but
at
a
time
like
this
how
they
appoint
a
decrepit
,
blind
old
man
,
positively
blind
?
A
fine
idea
to
have
a
blind
general
!
He
ca
n't
see
anything
.
To
play
blindman
's
buff
?
He
ca
n't
see
at
all
!
"
No
one
replied
to
his
remarks
.
This
was
quite
correct
on
the
twenty-fourth
of
July
.
But
on
the
twenty-ninth
of
July
Kutúzov
received
the
title
of
Prince
.
This
might
indicate
a
wish
to
get
rid
of
him
,
and
therefore
Prince
Vasíli
's
opinion
continued
to
be
correct
though
he
was
not
now
in
any
hurry
to
express
it
.
But
on
the
eighth
of
August
a
committee
,
consisting
of
Field
Marshal
Saltykóv
,
Arakchéev
,
Vyazmítinov
,
Lopukhín
,
and
Kochubéy
met
to
consider
the
progress
of
the
war
.
This
committee
came
to
the
conclusion
that
our
failures
were
due
to
a
want
of
unity
in
the
command
and
though
the
members
of
the
committee
were
aware
of
the
Emperor
's
dislike
of
Kutúzov
,
after
a
short
deliberation
they
agreed
to
advise
his
appointment
as
commander
in
chief
.
That
same
day
Kutúzov
was
appointed
commander
in
chief
with
full
powers
over
the
armies
and
over
the
whole
region
occupied
by
them
.
On
the
ninth
of
August
Prince
Vasíli
at
Anna
Pávlovna
's
again
met
the
"
man
of
great
merit
.
"
The
latter
was
very
attentive
to
Anna
Pávlovna
because
he
wanted
to
be
appointed
director
of
one
of
the
educational
establishments
for
young
ladies
.
Prince
Vasíli
entered
the
room
with
the
air
of
a
happy
conqueror
who
has
attained
the
object
of
his
desires
.
"
Well
,
have
you
heard
the
great
news
?
Prince
Kutúzov
is
field
marshal
!
All
dissensions
are
at
an
end
!
I
am
so
glad
,
so
delighted
!
At
last
we
have
a
man
!
"
said
he
,
glancing
sternly
and
significantly
round
at
everyone
in
the
drawing
room
.
The
"
man
of
great
merit
,
"
despite
his
desire
to
obtain
the
post
of
director
,
could
not
refrain
from
reminding
Prince
Vasíli
of
his
former
opinion
.
Though
this
was
impolite
to
Prince
Vasíli
in
Anna
Pávlovna
's
drawing
room
,
and
also
to
Anna
Pávlovna
herself
who
had
received
the
news
with
delight
,
he
could
not
resist
the
temptation
.
"
But
,
Prince
,
they
say
he
is
blind
!
"
said
he
,
reminding
Prince
Vasíli
of
his
own
words
.
"
Eh
?
Nonsense
!
He
sees
well
enough
,
"
said
Prince
Vasíli
rapidly
,
in
a
deep
voice
and
with
a
slight
cough
--
the
voice
and
cough
with
which
he
was
wont
to
dispose
of
all
difficulties
.
"
He
sees
well
enough
,
"
he
added
.
"
And
what
I
am
so
pleased
about
,
"
he
went
on
,
"
is
that
our
sovereign
has
given
him
full
powers
over
all
the
armies
and
the
whole
region
--
powers
no
commander
in
chief
ever
had
before
.
He
is
a
second
autocrat
,
"
he
concluded
with
a
victorious
smile
.
