Chapter 16
I'd forgotten that Berg is married to Natasha's sister, Vera. Anyway, he is. He says he can't predict the outcome of the war, but he is in awe of how the army fought at the battle of Borodino. The countess is distracted because she's still worried about packing. Natasha takes over - after some shouting - because she's ashamed of her mother for wanting to leave the wounded men behind in favour of carrying more furniture. Natasha spends the day fitting as many men into the carriages as possible, while Sonya makes a list of everything left behind and tries to bring as many of the countesses items as possible.
