Characters Present:
General Bagratión
Prince Andrew Bolkónski
Alpátych
Location:
Near Bald Hill Estate
Prince Andrew takes his regiment along the avenue leading to Bald Hill Estate. Here he meets Alpátych, who is frightened, and also confirms that Old Prince Nicholas and Princess Mary have gone to Moscow.
He receives a letter from General Bagratión, saying that Smolénsk had fallen, though he didn't understand why, as his men found for 35 hours, and Napoleon's fell back after 14 hours. General Bagratión goes on to say that the whole army is suspicious of the Imperial aide-de-camp, Wolzogen, and says that he is more Napoleon's man than Alexander's.
All the men go for a swim in the pond as the weather has been hot.
