| Sketch Map III. 1807 Campaign [1] |
Prince Andrew receives a letter from Bilíbin, in which Bilíbin rants on and on about all the things that the Russian army is doing wrong. Prince Andrew reads it and then feels happy when he realises that he doesn't care.
He goes into the nursery to check on his son, and sees the nurse looking unhappy. Prince Andrew races over to the cot, thinking that his son must be dead, and finds him asleep but a bit sweaty. Prince Andrew is relieved as this is the most important thing that he has left now.
