Characters Present:
Vaska Denísov
Nicholas Rostóv
Captain Tushín
Location:
The officer's ward in the field hospital
Rostóv enters the officer's ward and notices that it does not smell as bad as the soldier's ward. He finds Denísov asleep in bed, despite it being close to noon. Denísov's immediate neighbour is Captail Tushín, who has had an arm amputated.
Tushín tries to convince Denísov to write to the Emperor to ask for a pardon for stealing the goods wagons, but Tushín refuses to beg forgiveness for doing what he felt was the right thing.
Denísov ends up handing such a document to Rostóv before he leaves, to give to the Emperor.
