Seeing
that
his
most
gracious
ruler
was
calm
once
more
,
Michaud
also
grew
calm
,
but
was
not
immediately
ready
to
reply
to
the
Emperor
's
direct
and
relevant
question
which
required
a
direct
answer
.
"
Sire
,
will
you
allow
me
to
speak
frankly
as
befits
a
loyal
soldier
?
"
he
asked
to
gain
time
.
"
Colonel
,
I
always
require
it
,
"
replied
the
Emperor
.
"
Conceal
nothing
from
me
,
I
wish
to
know
absolutely
how
things
are
.
"
"
Sire
!
"
said
Michaud
with
a
subtle
,
scarcely
perceptible
smile
on
his
lips
,
having
now
prepared
a
well-phrased
reply
,
"
sire
,
I
left
the
whole
army
,
from
its
chiefs
to
the
lowest
soldier
,
without
exception
in
desperate
and
agonized
terror
...
"
"
How
is
that
?
"
the
Emperor
interrupted
him
,
frowning
sternly
.
"
Would
misfortune
make
my
Russians
lose
heart
?
...
Never
!
"
Michaud
had
only
waited
for
this
to
bring
out
the
phrase
he
had
prepared
.
"
Sire
,
"
he
said
,
with
respectful
playfulness
,
"
they
are
only
afraid
lest
Your
Majesty
,
in
the
goodness
of
your
heart
,
should
allow
yourself
to
be
persuaded
to
make
peace
.
They
are
burning
for
the
combat
,
"
declared
this
representative
of
the
Russian
nation
,
"
and
to
prove
to
Your
Majesty
by
the
sacrifice
of
their
lives
how
devoted
they
are
...
"
"
Ah
!
"
said
the
Emperor
reassured
,
and
with
a
kindly
gleam
in
his
eyes
,
he
patted
Michaud
on
the
shoulder
.
"
You
set
me
at
ease
,
Colonel
.
"
He
bent
his
head
and
was
silent
for
some
time
.
"
Well
,
then
,
go
back
to
the
army
,
"
he
said
,
drawing
himself
up
to
his
full
height
and
addressing
Michaud
with
a
gracious
and
majestic
gesture
,
"
and
tell
our
brave
men
and
all
my
good
subjects
wherever
you
go
that
when
I
have
not
a
soldier
left
I
shall
put
myself
at
the
head
of
my
beloved
nobility
and
my
good
peasants
and
so
use
the
last
resources
of
my
empire
.
It
still
offers
me
more
than
my
enemies
suppose
,
"
said
the
Emperor
growing
more
and
more
animated
;
"
but
should
it
ever
be
ordained
by
Divine
Providence
,
"
he
continued
,
raising
to
heaven
his
fine
eyes
shining
with
emotion
,
"
that
my
dynasty
should
cease
to
reign
on
the
throne
of
my
ancestors
,
then
after
exhausting
all
the
means
at
my
command
,
I
shall
let
my
beard
grow
to
here
"
(
he
pointed
halfway
down
his
chest
)
"
and
go
and
eat
potatoes
with
the
meanest
of
my
peasants
,
rather
than
sign
the
disgrace
of
my
country
and
of
my
beloved
people
whose
sacrifices
I
know
how
to
appreciate
