Characters Present:
Prince Andrew Bolkónski
Vaska Denísov
Commander in Chief/Prince Kutúzhov
Location:
Headquarters
Prince Andrew is summoned to headquarters by General Kutúzhov, who is absent when Prince Andrew arrives.
Prince Andrew speaks with Denísov for a while, each reminding the other of Natasha, as they had both been betrothed to her.
General Kutúzhov arrives, and is described as having grown "corpulent, flaccid and fat", and as making the porch creak as he dismounts from his horse.
Kutúzhov gets a bit upset about news of Prince Nicholas' death.
Denísov suggests a clever way to cut French communication lines, which Kutúzhov discards, as he dislikes clever people for no obvious reason other than that he is old.
