         awaiting instructions. Toll was beginning to say something
         but Kutuzov checked him. He tried to say something, but
         his face suddenly puckered and wrinkled; he waved his arm
         at Toll and turned to the opposite side of the room, to the
         corner darkened by the icons that hung there.
            ‘O Lord, my Creator, Thou has heard our prayer...’ said
         he in a tremulous voice with folded hands. ‘Russia is saved.
         I thank Thee, O Lord!’ and he wept.
