Volume 3: Book 14 - Chapter 7

Characters Present:

Denísov

Pétya Rostóv
Tíkhon Shcherbáty
Vincent Bosse - the captured French drummer-boy

Location: 

Shámshevo



Pétya has been released by his general to Denísov on the condition that he doesn't take any action against the French, since disobeying an order in a previous battle.

It is dinner time, and Pétya offers Denísov and company some grapes; some flints; and other items.  It occurs to him that the French drummer may be hungry, and frightened, and thinks to ask Denísov if he can invite him in for food. Denísov agrees, and the French boy comes into the tent grateful, but hungry.
