Volume 3: Book 11 - Chapter 10

Characters Present:

Pierre Bezukhov
Count Rostopchín's adjutant

Location:

Moscow


Upon his arrival in Moscow, Pierre is immediately summoned by Count Rostopchín.

While waiting to see him, he reads an article in the newspaper by Tsar Alexander, saying that Moscow will be defended to the end, which is against everyone else's understanding that Moscow cannot be defended.

Pierre also hears gossip the his wife will travel abroad.  He greets this news with an absent-minded shrug.

We learn that Count Rostopchín has a nasty temper.
