On this page of the book, the Rostov family has just received a letter from "Nikolushka", the pet name for Nicolai who writes that he has been wounded but promoted to officer. The youngest family member, Petya, is annoyed that the women in the family are upset by the news of his injury. Petya says, " I'm very glad, really very glad, that my brother has distinguished himself..." -- Lola
