Count Tolstóy, the Ober-Hofmarschal, belongs to the machinery of the imperial court, serving as grand marshal when Kutúzov visits. In a moment of danger, he rides in the Emperor’s carriage pale and terrified, his courtly composure shaken. Later he appears among the Emperor’s suite, holding the silver salver with the Order of St. George. His appearances trace the contrast between formal ceremony and the fear that presses in around it.
