In Which We Discuss War and Peace, Part 14, Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Plans for tomorrow attack are finalised, and then Denisov and Petya ride off back to camp.  On the way, they run into Tikhon, who has found a tongue.  Well, he found two, but he took the first one back because he decided the first wasn't suitable.  And then he didn't quite manage to capture the second because he had back-up.  Tikhon doesn't understand why this angers Denisov, and says he'll get as many Frenchman as Denisov could want when it gets dark.  Petya at first finds this funny, and is then a little disturbed at the thought that Tikhon has killed a man.
