Characters Present:
Kutúzov
Location:
Letashóvka - 3.5 miles from Tarútino
A decrepit Kutúzov reluctantly drives from Letashóvka to where the attacking columns are supposed to meet. Instead of finding an army ready to attack, he finds men busy having breakfast and doing general camp activities.
He discovers that his orders to attack have not been received, and goes purple with rage and shouts at a lot of officers. He is also indignant that he, a Supreme Highness, should be made a laughing stock.
Kutúzov reissues the order for the attack, which he disagreed with the first time round and continues to disagree with, to take place on the morrow.
