1 She was a pretty and, as it is called, 'advanced' girl; she used to read the serious articles in the 'Science' column of the journals.
2 A small but distinctly visible enemy column was moving down the hill, probably to strengthen the front line.
3 All eyes fastened involuntarily on this French column advancing against them and winding down over the uneven ground.
4 The head of the column had already descended into the hollow.
5 A cannon ball, cleaving the air, flew over the heads of Bagration and his suite, and fell into the column to the measure of "Left."
6 The head of the French column, with its officers leading, appeared from below the hill.
7 Austrian column guides were moving in and out among the Russian troops and served as heralds of the advance.
8 The column moved forward without knowing where and unable, from the masses around them, the smoke and the increasing fog, to see either the place they were leaving or that to which they were going.
9 The fourth column, with which Kutuzov was, stood on the Pratzen Heights.
10 He greeted the men of the foremost regiment and gave them the order to march, thereby indicating that he intended to lead that column himself.
11 An Austrian officer in a white uniform with green plumes in his hat galloped up to Kutuzov and asked in the Emperor's name had the fourth column advanced into action.
12 He touched his horse and having called Miloradovich, the commander of the column, gave him the order to advance.
13 When he had gone less than half a mile in the rear of the column he stopped at a solitary, deserted house that had probably once been an inn, where two roads parted.
14 With the naked eye Prince Andrew saw below them to the right, not more than five hundred paces from where Kutuzov was standing, a dense French column coming up to meet the Apsherons.
15 To the right stood our infantry in a dense column: they were the reserve.
