One
of
Plátov
's
Cossacks
says
that
Plátov
's
corps
is
joining
up
with
the
main
army
and
that
Kutúzov
has
been
appointed
commander
in
chief
.
He
is
a
very
shrewd
and
garrulous
fellow
.
"
Napoleon
smiled
and
told
them
to
give
the
Cossack
a
horse
and
bring
the
man
to
him
.
He
wished
to
talk
to
him
himself
.
Several
adjutants
galloped
off
,
and
an
hour
later
,
Lavrúshka
,
the
serf
Denísov
had
handed
over
to
Rostóv
,
rode
up
to
Napoleon
in
an
orderly
's
jacket
and
on
a
French
cavalry
saddle
,
with
a
merry
,
and
tipsy
face
.
Napoleon
told
him
to
ride
by
his
side
and
began
questioning
him
.
"
You
are
a
Cossack
?
"

"
Yes
,
a
Cossack
,
your
Honor
.
"
"
The
Cossack
,
not
knowing
in
what
company
he
was
,
for
Napoleon
's
plain
appearance
had
nothing
about
it
that
would
reveal
to
an
Oriental
mind
the
presence
of
a
monarch
,
talked
with
extreme
familiarity
of
the
incidents
of
the
war
,
"
says
Thiers
,
narrating
this
episode
.
In
reality
Lavrúshka
,
having
got
drunk
the
day
before
and
left
his
master
dinnerless
,
had
been
whipped
and
sent
to
the
village
in
quest
of
chickens
,
where
he
engaged
in
looting
till
the
French
took
him
prisoner
.
Lavrúshka
was
one
of
those
coarse
,
bare-faced
lackeys
who
have
seen
all
sorts
of
things
,
consider
it
necessary
to
do
everything
in
a
mean
and
cunning
way
,
are
ready
to
render
any
sort
of
service
to
their
master
,
and
are
keen
at
guessing
their
master
's
baser
impulses
,
especially
those
prompted
by
vanity
and
pettiness
.
Finding
himself
in
the
company
of
Napoleon
,
whose
identity
he
had
easily
and
surely
recognized
,
Lavrúshka
was
not
in
the
least
abashed
but
merely
did
his
utmost
to
gain
his
new
master
's
favor
.

He
knew
very
well
that
this
was
Napoleon
,
but
Napoleon
's
presence
could
no
more
intimidate
him
than
Rostóv
's
,
or
a
sergeant
major
's
with
the
rods
,
would
have
done
,
for
he
had
nothing
that
either
the
sergeant
major
or
Napoleon
could
deprive
him
of
.
So
he
rattled
on
,
telling
all
the
gossip
he
had
heard
among
the
orderlies
.
Much
of
it
true
.
But
when
Napoleon
asked
him
whether
the
Russians
thought
they
would
beat
Bonaparte
or
not
,
Lavrúshka
screwed
up
his
eyes
and
considered
.
In
this
question
he
saw
subtle
cunning
,
as
men
of
his
type
see
cunning
in
everything
,
so
he
frowned
and
did
not
answer
immediately
.
