But Dolokhov restarted the conversation which had dropped and began putting direct questions as to how many men there were in the battalion, how many battalions, and how many prisoners. Asking about the Russian prisoners with that detachment, Dolokhov said: "A horrid business dragging these corpses about with one!
I did put the paint-work in hand directly you told me; and the work was nearly completed when we ran into that heavy sea yesterday. You know that we shipped it solid over our bows, and the paint being still wet was, of course, nearly all washed off. I set the men to work, however, to clean things up again, and they have restarted the job this morning. You can see them at work now."
Yet once more his affairs are in order, and, had it been his wish, he could have restarted in business with a capital of half a million roubles. 'But no, he said. 'A steward am I, and a steward will I remain to the end; for, from being full-stomached and heavy with dropsy, I have become strong and well. Not a drop of liquor passes his lips, but only cabbage soup and gruel.
In a second I had flung my whole weight upon him and sent him clutching at the air over the splashboard, and so across the "bonnet" to the ground. In a moment I restarted the car, but not before he had risen and remounted upon the step. "You shan't get away!" he cried.

Very carefully he crept toward the door, hardly daring to breathe, in his anxiety. But Prince had not been asleep. No, indeed! Restarted up at the first sound of his master's footsteps.
Before I could find words to reply she gathered up her cloak and ran. I heard the whir of a restarted motor at no great distance, and, in the instant that Nayland Smith came running down the steps, I knew that I had nodded at my post. "Smith!" I cried as he joined me, "tell me what we must do!" And rapidly I acquainted him with the incident.
Why do men chain themselves in prisons of their own making? What had the station-master said? It might be an hour certainly not less than forty minutes before the train could be restarted.

Suppose he missed his train?
'They got that hay rather damp, he said. 'Can't you smell it like hot tobacco and sandal-wood? 'What, is that the stack? she asked. 'Yes, it's always like that when it's picked damp. The conversation was restarted, but did not flourish. When they turned on to a narrow path by the side of the field he went ahead.
