Location:
Still in Znaime
Bolkónski continues his tour of the camp and climbs a hill where he can see the whole of the Russian Army and the beginnings of the French army. He observes that the French line is much wider than the Russian and notes that the French could very easily outflank the Russians.
Bolkónski starts to develop a strategy to pass on to Bagratión but then overhears voices philosophising about death in a cabin that is on the hill. He recognises one voice as belonging to the dashing Captain Tushín, who he met while he (Tushín) was being scolded for not wearing boots a couple of chapters ago, and the other to be very manly indeed.
Their conversation is interrupted by a canon ball whizzing through the air and destroying part of the cabin.
