An excerpt characterizing Kuklev, Roman Pavlovich

Princess Marya was not in Moscow and out of danger, as Prince Andrey thought.
After Alpatych's return from Smolensk old prince as if suddenly came to his senses from a dream. He ordered to collect militias from the villages, arm them and wrote a letter to the commander-in-chief, in which he informed him of his accepted intention to remain in Bald Mountains to the last extreme, to defend himself, leaving it at his discretion to take or not to take measures to protect Bald Mountains, in which he would be taken one of the oldest Russian generals was captured or killed, and announced to his family that he remained in Bald Hills.
But, while remaining in Bald Hills himself, the prince ordered the sending of the princess and Desal with the little prince to Bogucharovo and from there to Moscow. Princess Marya, frightened by the feverish, sleepless activity of her father, which replaced his former despondency, could not dare to leave him alone and for the first time in her life allowed herself to disobey him. She refused to go, and a terrible storm of the prince's wrath fell upon her. He reminded her of everything in which he had been unjust against her. Trying to accuse her, he told her that she had tortured him, that she had quarreled him with her son, had vile suspicions against him that she had set her life's task to poison his life, and expelled her from his office, telling her that if she won't leave, he doesn't care. He said that he did not want to know about her existence, but he warned her ahead that she did not dare to catch his eye. The fact that, contrary to the fears of Princess Marya, he did not order her to be taken away by force, but only did not order her to appear in front of her eyes, made Princess Marya happy. She knew that this proved that in the very secret of his soul he was glad that she stayed at home and did not leave.
The next day after Nikolushka's departure, the old prince dressed in a full uniform in the morning and prepared to go to the commander-in-chief. The stroller was already served. Princess Marya saw him, in uniform and all orders, leave the house and go into the garden to inspect the armed peasants and servants. Princess Marya looked at the window and listened to his voice, which rang out from the garden. Suddenly, several people with frightened faces ran out of the alley.
Princess Marya ran out onto the porch, onto the flower path and into the alley. A large crowd of militias and courtyards was moving towards her, and in the middle of this crowd several people were dragging a little old man in uniform and medals under the arms. Princess Marya ran up to him and, playing in small circles of falling light, through the shadow of a linden avenue, could not realize what a change had taken place in his face. One thing she saw was that the former stern and decisive expression on his face was replaced by an expression of timidity and resignation. Seeing his daughter, he moved his impotent lips and wheezed. It was impossible to understand what he wanted. They lifted him in his arms, carried him to the office and laid him on the sofa, which he had been so afraid of lately.
The doctor brought in blew out that night and announced that the prince had a blow on the right side.
It became more and more dangerous to stay in Bald Hills, and the next day after the prince's blow, they were taken to Bogucharovo. The doctor went with them.
When they arrived in Bogucharovo, Desalle and the little prince had already left for Moscow.
