Characters Present:
Vaska Denísov
Nicholas Rostóv
Location:
A dug-out at a distant outpost.
The regiment are still starving, and Denísov storms in to tell the quartermaster off, who was supposed to stop the men from eating Máska's root.
Denísov then goes away and returns, with infantry-men on his heels - he has stolen two of their transport carts for their food to feed his men. He tells them to bugger off, because his men have not eaten in two weeks.
Denísov is called away again, and when he returns he is speaking jibberish, and eventually Rostóv manages to glean that Denísov will be court-marshalled and tried for robbery.
