In Which We Discuss War and Peace, Part 12, Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Pierre is pardoned and lead away to be imprisoned somewhere else, but he's not really taking any of it in.  His entire world order and belief that the world is fair has been upended.  He's imprisoned with Karataev, a soldier from a peasant family, who's a little more used to this sort of thing than Pierre and counts his blessing that it's him sent to join the army rather than his younger brother, who has five children.  This helps Pierre.
