The officers serving under him will return

home soon, and more young men will come to take

their places. After the new arrivals dismount

to pay their respects, the Colonel will keep them

waiting a time. Then fix them with a stern but

fatherly gaze, these slim young men with tiny

mustaches and boisterous high spirits, who look

at him and wonder, who ask themselves what it is

he’s running from. But he’s not running. He likes it

here, in the Caucasus, after a fashion. He’s even

grown used to it—or nearly. There’s plenty to do,

God knows. Plenty of grim work in the days, and months,

ahead. Shamil is out there in the mountains somewhere—

or maybe he’s on the Steppes. The scenery is lovely,

you can be sure, and this but a rough record

of the actual and the passing.
