Pierre had decided not to vacate Moscow like all the other nobility. Instead, he hatched a plot to assassinate Napoleon. It really wasn't much of a plan; he never even decided which weapon to use or how he would get access to Napoleon. In any case, shortly after the French sack Moscow, some French soldiers find Pierre in a house and are questioning him. A French officer is confused about Pierre's identity and asks him whether he is a Frenchman or Russian prince incognito. So I copied out his question in French and incorporated it into this collage. I also used a map from Paris and French short stories for kids. -- Lola
