It
was
Dokhtúrov
again
whom
they
sent
to
Formínsk
and
from
there
to
Málo-Yaroslávets
,
the
place
where
the
last
battle
with
the
French
was
fought
and
where
the
obvious
disintegration
of
the
French
army
began
;
and
we
are
told
of
many
geniuses
and
heroes
of
that
period
of
the
campaign
,
but
of
Dokhtúrov
nothing
or
very
little
is
said
and
that
dubiously
.
And
this
silence
about
Dokhtúrov
is
the
clearest
testimony
to
his
merit
.
It
is
natural
for
a
man
who
does
not
understand
the
workings
of
a
machine
to
imagine
that
a
shaving
that
has
fallen
into
it
by
chance
and
is
interfering
with
its
action
and
tossing
about
in
it
is
its
most
important
part
.
The
man
who
does
not
understand
the
construction
of
the
machine
can
not
conceive
that
the
small
connecting
cogwheel
which
revolves
quietly
is
one
of
the
most
essential
parts
of
the
machine
,
and
not
the
shaving
which
merely
harms
and
hinders
the
working
.
On
the
tenth
of
October
when
Dokhtúrov
had
gone
halfway
to
Formínsk
and
stopped
at
the
village
of
Aristóvo
,
preparing
faithfully
to
execute
the
orders
he
had
received
,
the
whole
French
army
having
,
in
its
convulsive
movement
,
reached
Murat
's
position
apparently
in
order
to
give
battle
--
suddenly
without
any
reason
turned
off
to
the
left
onto
the
new
Kalúga
road
and
began
to
enter
Formínsk
,
where
only
Broussier
had
been
till
then
.
At
that
time
Dokhtúrov
had
under
his
command
,
besides
Dórokhov
's
detachment
,
the
two
small
guerrilla
detachments
of
Figner
and
Seslávin
.
On
the
evening
of
October
11
Seslávin
came
to
the
Aristóvo
headquarters
with
a
French
guardsman
he
had
captured
.
The
prisoner
said
that
the
troops
that
had
entered
Formínsk
that
day
were
the
vanguard
of
the
whole
army
,
that
Napoleon
was
there
and
the
whole
army
had
left
Moscow
four
days
previously
.
That
same
evening
a
house
serf
who
had
come
from
Bórovsk
said
he
had
seen
an
immense
army
entering
the
town
.
Some
Cossacks
of
Dokhtúrov
's
detachment
reported
having
sighted
the
French
Guards
marching
along
the
road
to
Bórovsk
From
all
these
reports
it
was
evident
that
where
they
had
expected
to
meet
a
single
division
there
was
now
the
whole
French
army
marching
from
Moscow
in
an
unexpected
direction
--
along
the
Kalúga
road
.
Dokhtúrov
was
unwilling
to
undertake
any
action
,
as
it
was
not
clear
to
him
now
what
he
ought
to
do
.
He
had
been
ordered
to
attack
Formínsk
.
But
only
Broussier
had
been
there
at
that
time
and
now
the
whole
French
army
was
there
.
Ermólov
wished
to
act
on
his
own
judgment
,
but
Dokhtúrov
insisted
that
he
must
have
Kutúzov
's
instructions
.
So
it
was
decided
to
send
a
dispatch
to
the
staff
.
For
this
purpose
a
capable
officer
,
Bolkhovítinov
,
was
chosen
,
who
was
to
explain
the
whole
affair
by
word
of
mouth
,
besides
delivering
a
written
report
.
Toward
midnight
Bolkhovítinov
,
having
received
the
dispatch
and
verbal
instructions
,
galloped
off
to
the
General
Staff
accompanied
by
a
Cossack
with
spare
horses
.
It
was
a
warm
,
dark
,
autumn
night
.
It
had
been
raining
for
four
days
.
Having
changed
horses
twice
and
galloped
twenty
miles
in
an
hour
and
a
half
over
a
sticky
,
muddy
road
,
Bolkhovítinov
reached
Litashëvka
after
one
o'clock
at
night
.
Dismounting
at
a
cottage
on
whose
wattle
fence
hung
a
signboard
,
GENERAL
STAFF
,
and
throwing
down
his
reins
,
he
entered
a
dark
passage
.
"
The
general
on
duty
,
quick
!
It
's
very
important
!
"
said
he
to
someone
who
had
risen
and
was
sniffing
in
the
dark
passage
.
"
He
has
been
very
unwell
since
the
evening
and
this
is
the
third
night
he
has
not
slept
,
"
said
the
orderly
pleadingly
in
a
whisper
.
"
You
should
wake
the
captain
first
.
"
"
But
this
is
very
important
,
from
General
Dokhtúrov
,
"
said
Bolkhovítinov
,
entering
the
open
door
which
he
had
found
by
feeling
in
the
dark
.
