Book 2 - Chapter 3

Characters Present

General Kutúzov
Prince Andrew Bolkónski
An Austrian General
Prince Kózlovski
General Mack
Prince Nesvítski
Zherkóv

Location: 

Kutúzov's private room


Kotúzov, the Austrian General and Prince Andrew Bolónski are going through some documents and letters from Archduke Ferdinand and are discussing General Mack and whether Austria had been defeated or not.

They send Prince Andrew out to get some scout reports from Prince Kózlovski. It is noted that Prince Andrew has changed since he left Russia, and is now less indolent and more agreeable.  When he reaches Prince Kózlovski, they chat about Austria's rumoured defeat, and a bandaged General Mack comes through the door wishing to speak with Prince Kózlovski, who emerges from his study.

General Mack imparts the news that Austria had indeed been defeated, and Prince Nevitski and Zherkóv both jest about the defeat to the generals, which Prince Andrew gets a bee in his bonnet about.
