War and Peace Volume 3, Part 1, Chapter 13 Summary
There are a bunch of guys at the tavern where the doctor and his young wife are staying. The men spend the evening playing cards and flirting with this woman.
Her husband, the doctor, is asleep on a bed nearby.
There’s a lot of double entendres and jokes about the doctor’s wife.
After a little while, the doctor pops up. Turns out he hasn’t been asleep at all; he’s been lying there listening and getting mad.
He takes his wife and leaves, and the soldiers fall asleep laughing.
