When
Kutúzov
came
out
of
the
study
and
with
lowered
head
was
crossing
the
ballroom
with
his
heavy
waddling
gait
,
he
was
arrested
by
someone
's
voice
saying
:
"
Your
Serene
Highness
!
"
Kutúzov
raised
his
head
and
looked
for
a
long
while
into
the
eyes
of
Count
Tolstóy
,
who
stood
before
him
holding
a
silver
salver
on
which
lay
a
small
object
.
Kutúzov
seemed
not
to
understand
what
was
expected
of
him
.
Suddenly
he
seemed
to
remember
;
a
scarcely
perceptible
smile
flashed
across
his
puffy
face
,
and
bowing
low
and
respectfully
he
took
the
object
that
lay
on
the
salver
.
It
was
the
Order
of
St.
George
of
the
First
Class
.
Next
day
the
field
marshal
gave
a
dinner
and
ball
which
the
Emperor
honored
by
his
presence
.
Kutúzov
had
received
the
Order
of
St.
George
of
the
First
Class
and
the
Emperor
showed
him
the
highest
honors
,
but
everyone
knew
of
the
imperial
dissatisfaction
with
him
.
The
proprieties
were
observed
and
the
Emperor
was
the
first
to
set
that
example
,
but
everybody
understood
that
the
old
man
was
blameworthy
and
good-for-nothing
.
When
Kutúzov
,
conforming
to
a
custom
of
Catherine
's
day
,
ordered
the
standards
that
had
been
captured
to
be
lowered
at
the
Emperor
's
feet
on
his
entering
the
ballroom
,
the
Emperor
made
a
wry
face
and
muttered
something
in
which
some
people
caught
the
words
,
"
the
old
comedian
.
"
The
Emperor
's
displeasure
with
Kutúzov
was
specially
increased
at
Vílna
by
the
fact
that
Kutúzov
evidently
could
not
or
would
not
understand
the
importance
of
the
coming
campaign
.
When
on
the
following
morning
the
Emperor
said
to
the
officers
assembled
about
him
:
"
You
have
not
only
saved
Russia
,
you
have
saved
Europe
!
"
they
all
understood
that
the
war
was
not
ended
.
Kutúzov
alone
would
not
see
this
and
openly
expressed
his
opinion
that
no
fresh
war
could
improve
the
position
or
add
to
the
glory
of
Russia
,
but
could
only
spoil
and
lower
the
glorious
position
that
Russia
had
gained
.
He
tried
to
prove
to
the
Emperor
the
impossibility
of
levying
fresh
troops
,
spoke
of
the
hardships
already
endured
by
the
people
,
of
the
possibility
of
failure
and
so
forth
.
This
being
the
field
marshal
's
frame
of
mind
he
was
naturally
regarded
as
merely
a
hindrance
and
obstacle
to
the
impending
war
.
To
avoid
unpleasant
encounters
with
the
old
man
,
the
natural
method
was
to
do
what
had
been
done
with
him
at
Austerlitz
and
with
Barclay
at
the
beginning
of
the
Russian
campaign
--
to
transfer
the
authority
to
the
Emperor
himself
,
thus
cutting
the
ground
from
under
the
commander
in
chief
's
feet
without
upsetting
the
old
man
by
informing
him
of
the
change
.
