Book 2 - Chapter 17

Characters Present: 

Prince Andrew Bolkónski
General Bagratión 
Captain Tushín

Location:

Still at Znaime

More canon balls are fired at the Russian army, and though not having received orders, Captain Tushín of the Russian battery starts firing canons back into the village that some of the French army are in, with the aim of setting it on fire.

Bolkónski, now going around with Bagratíon, notes that though Bagratíon does not appear to be giving orders, or to even have a plan, he acts as though everything that happens is going according to how he wanted or expected it to.  This has a calming effect on the soldiers that he interacts with. 

The movement of the French army around the Russian army tends to suggest that the Russians are doomed.

Book 2 - Chapter 16

Characters Present:

Prince Andrew Bolkónski
Captain Tushín 
An infantry officer with a manly voice

Location: 

Still in Znaime

Bolkónski continues his tour of the camp and climbs a hill where he can see the whole of the Russian Army and the beginnings of the French army.  He observes that the French line is much wider than the Russian and notes that the French could very easily outflank the Russians.

Bolkónski starts to develop a strategy to pass on to Bagratión but then overhears voices philosophising about death in a cabin that is on the hill.  He recognises one voice as belonging to the dashing Captain Tushín, who he met while he (Tushín) was being scolded for not wearing boots a couple of chapters ago, and the other to be very manly indeed. 

Their conversation is interrupted by a canon ball whizzing through the air and destroying part of the cabin.
