Pétya returns to the guerrilla camp, and tells Denísov the events of the evening. Denísov tells him to go to sleep, but Pétya is too excited, and begins to ready himself for the battle in the morning.
He takes his sword to a Likhachëv to have it sharpened (for the first time), and despite being in a fairly rough environment, feels as though he is in fairy-land. He falls asleep and has all sorts of lovely dreams. When he awakens, his sword is sharp enough to cut a French in half, and it is dawn.
