They
even
say
,
"
remarked
the
"
man
of
great
merit
"
who
did
not
yet
possess
courtly
tact
,
"
that
his
excellency
made
it
an
express
condition
that
the
sovereign
himself
should
not
be
with
the
army
"
As
soon
as
he
said
this
both
Prince
Vasíli
and
Anna
Pávlovna
turned
away
from
him
and
glanced
sadly
at
one
another
with
a
sigh
at
his
naïveté

While
this
was
taking
place
in
Petersburg
the
French
had
already
passed
Smolénsk
and
were
drawing
nearer
and
nearer
to
Moscow
.
Napoleon
's
historian
Thiers
,
like
other
of
his
historians
,
trying
to
justify
his
hero
says
that
he
was
drawn
to
the
walls
of
Moscow
against
his
will
.
He
is
as
right
as
other
historians
who
look
for
the
explanation
of
historic
events
in
the
will
of
one
man
;
he
is
as
right
as
the
Russian
historians
who
maintain
that
Napoleon
was
drawn
to
Moscow
by
the
skill
of
the
Russian
commanders
.
Here
besides
the
law
of
retrospection
,
which
regards
all
the
past
as
a
preparation
for
events
that
subsequently
occur
,
the
law
of
reciprocity
comes
in
,
confusing
the
whole
matter
.
A
good
chessplayer
having
lost
a
game
is
sincerely
convinced
that
his
loss
resulted
from
a
mistake
he
made
and
looks
for
that
mistake
in
the
opening
,
but
forgets
that
at
each
stage
of
the
game
there
were
similar
mistakes
and
that
none
of
his
moves
were
perfect
.
He
only
notices
the
mistake
to
which
he
pays
attention
,
because
his
opponent
took
advantage
of
it
.
How
much
more
complex
than
this
is
the
game
of
war
,
which
occurs
under
certain
limits
of
time
,
and
where
it
is
not
one
will
that
manipulates
lifeless
objects
,
but
everything
results
from
innumerable
conflicts
of
various
wills
!
After
Smolénsk
Napoleon
sought
a
battle
beyond
Dorogobúzh
at
Vyázma
,
and
then
at
Tsárevo-Zaymíshche
,
but
it
happened
that
owing
to
a
conjunction
of
innumerable
circumstances
the
Russians
could
not
give
battle
till
they
reached
Borodinó
,
seventy
miles
from
Moscow
.
From
Vyázma
Napoleon
ordered
a
direct
advance
on
Moscow
.

this
Moscow
gave
Napoleon
's
imagination
no
rest
.
On
the
march
from
Vyázma
to
Tsárevo-Zaymíshche
he
rode

bobtailed

by

Berthier
,
his

of

behind
to

Followed
by

an
interpreter
,
he
overtook
Napoleon
at
a
gallop
and
reined
in

horse
