1 The matter was mentioned to the Emperor, an exception made, and Boris transferred into the regiment of Semenov Guards with the rank of cornet.
2 The hussar cornet of Kutuzov's suite who had mimicked the regimental commander, fell back from the carriage and rode up to Dolokhov.
3 Hussar cornet Zherkov had at one time, in Petersburg, belonged to the wild set led by Dolokhov.
4 He waited a moment to see whether the cornet would answer, but he turned and went out of the corridor.
5 He knew from experience the tormenting expectation of terror and death the cornet was suffering and knew that only time could help him.
6 A cornet, hearing the story, informed his commander.
7 Del Snafflin's orchestra of piano, violin, and cornet began to tune up and every one behind the magic line of the proscenic arch was frightened into paralysis.
8 By seven o'clock the orchestra has arrived--no thin five-piece affair but a whole pitful of oboes and trombones and saxophones and viols and cornets and piccolos and low and high drums.
