Everything has now become so panicked that even Natasha is helping to pack, even though it takes a while for anyone to take her seriously. That same evening a wounded man arrives, which turns out to be Prince Andrew.
Chapter 15
It is the "last day" of Moscow and the Rostovs are almost ready to leave. They've even been able to make some money selling off horses and carts. There's a bit of a row because the count has ordered that the wounded soldiers they took in should be taken with them, which means there isn't enough room for all the luggage the countess wants to take with them. Natasha comes to ask what the shouting is about, and happens to look out of the window and see that Berg is arriving. Honestly, I feel like Tolstoy is fucking with us a bit right now, having all these chapters in which not-much happens when, firstly, Andrew and Natasha are in the same house again, and, secondly, we know Moscow is about to be sacked.
