Volume 3: Book 14 - Chapter 9

Characters Present:

Fedor Ivanovich Dólokhov
Pétya Rostóv

Location: 

Shámshevo



Dólokhov swaggers into the French camp, crouches beside the fire and tells the French soldiers that he is trying to overtake his battalion.  He ignores questions such as "what battalion are you from" and continues to make conversation.  Dólokhov asks lots of questions regarding numbers and positions, and when their horses are returned, he stands up and leaves. 

Pétya, who had remained silent throughout the entire encounter, is overcome with Dólohov's heroism and kisses him. Dólokhov tells him to tell Denísov to wait for the signal at dawn.
