In Which We Discuss War and Peace, Part 11 Chapter 32

Chapter 32

It's been a week since Andrew was wounded at Borodino, and he's been delirious for most of it.  He's become a little obsessed with getting ahold of a copy of the gospels and with Natasha, so he's quite pleased that she's come to see him once he understands that she's really there.  The doctor has been convinced that Andrew will die within the week, and is sad to see him recover since that normally means he'll die in more pain later, so Andrew dying may still be on the table.  Natasha spends the next few days nursing him through the nights, and while her mother hopes that they will renew their engagement, they don't speak of it at all.
