back. Well, goodbye. Goodbye, my friend. Goodbye, dear man. Captain, for God's sake, I've been contused in the arm. For God's sake, I can't walk. Give orders to put me on the cart. Put him on. Spread the coat, man. Get on. The thirty-five thousand men of Kutuzov's army were saved. The next day the French army did not renew its assault and what was left of Bagration's detachmentjoined Kutuzov's army. - Does it hurt? - Cut it out, for Christ's sake. That's a lot of cripples for one day's action. Captain, you're wanted by the general. He's in that house. I thank you all, gentlemen. How did it happen that the gun was abandoned? I don't know, Your Excellency. I had no men, Your Excellency. You might have picked some up in the column that was covering you. Tushin did not say that he had no covering troops, although this was the absolute truth. He was afraid of getting some other officer into trouble. Your Excellency! You sent me to Captain Tushin's battery today. I found two thirds of his men and his horses knocked out, two of his guns disabled, and no covering troops at all. And if Your Excellency will permit me to give my opinion, we owe today's success mainly to the action of that battery and the heroic endurance of Captain Tushin and his company. Captain Tushin, you can go. Thank you very much, my friend. You really saved me. Thanks very much. Yesterday at the meeting of the Imperial Council, our new governor-general, Sergei Kuzmich, was reading the Czar's rescript from the army. The rescript starts with the words: "Sergei Kuzmich, I have been hearing rumors on all sides..." Poor Count, he managed to get as far, that's all. He never got any further than "Sergei Kuzmich"? No, not one iota further. "Sergei Kuzmich"... On all sides, "Sergei Kuzmich"... Everything is going well. He would try again several times, but as soon as he said "Sergei", he would choke, at "Kuzmich", he would sob, and "on all sides" would be drowned in tears. Then he'd start again... It's time I understood her, and made up my mind what she really is. Was I mistaken before? Or am I mistaken now? No, she's not stupid. She's beautiful. Are you pleased with this evening? This celebration of my name-day was one of the most pleasant. It's quite late, I... Well, Helen? "Sergei Kuzmich on all sides..." Of course, it's a very brilliant match, but happiness, my dear... Marriages are made in heaven. "Sergei Kuzmich..." What's the point of that story? I don't think I got it. I didn't either. Aline, why don't you go and see what they're doing. Still the same. Heaven be praised. My wife has told me everything. Helen, my dear! I'm so happy. I loved your father so much. You couldn't get a better wife. God bless you, my children! Princess, come here, quickly! My child, God bless you. Helen. Oh, take those off... Those... Now it's too late. It's done. But I do love her. The battle of Austerlitz was called at the time "The battle of the three Emperors". The Emperors of Russia and Austria were inspecting the allied armies. What are we to do if Napoleon takes the offensive? It is unlikely. Gentlemen, the dispositions for tomorrow, or rather today, for now it is after midnight, simply can't be changed. You know them, and we shall do our duty. And before the battle, the most important thing is a good sleep. Yes, tomorrow, tomorrow. I have a feeling that tomorrow for the first time I shall have a chance to show all I can do. Mikhail Illarionovich, what do you think of tomorrow's battle? I think that the battle will be lost. I said so to Count Tolstoy, and I asked him to tell the Czar. I want glory. I want to be known to men, to be loved by people. It's not my fault I want that and live only for that. Yes, for that alone! I shall never tell anyone about that. But what am I to do? Death, wounds, the loss of my family, nothing frightens
