4 I will confess to you, dear Mary, that in spite of his extreme youth his departure for the army was a great grief to me.
5 I mean young Nicholas Rostov, who with his enthusiasm could not bear to remain inactive and has left the university to join the army.
6 The report which had been circulated that the Austrians had been beaten and that the whole army had surrendered at Ulm proved to be correct.
7 And, in fact, the last letter he had received from Mack's army informed him of a victory and stated strategically the position of the army was very favorable.
8 On Kutuzov's staff, among his fellow officers and in the army generally, Prince Andrew had, as he had had in Petersburg society, two quite opposite reputations.
9 The nervous irritation aroused by the appearance of Mack, the news of his defeat, and the thought of what lay before the Russian army found vent in anger at Zherkov's untimely jest.
10 Austrian troops that had escaped capture at Ulm and had joined Kutuzov at Braunau now separated from the Russian army, and Kutuzov was left with only his own weak and exhausted forces.
11 On the twenty-eighth of October Kutuzov with his army crossed to the left bank of the Danube and took up a position for the first time with the river between himself and the main body of the French.

17 Instead of an offensive, the plan of which, carefully prepared in accord with the modern science of strategics, had been handed to Kutuzov when he was in Vienna by the Austrian Hofkriegsrath, the sole and almost unattainable aim remaining for him was to effect a junction with the forces that were advancing from Russia, without losing his army as Mack had done at Ulm.
