On the right the Guards were entering the misty region with a sound of hoofs and wheels and now and then a gleam of bayonets; to the left beyond the village similar masses of cavalry came up and disappeared in the sea of mist.

In front and behind moved infantry.

That morning Kutuzov seemed worn and irritable.

The infantry passing before him came to a halt without any command being given, apparently obstructed by something in front.
