The Daughter of the Commandant Chapter 3 - The Little Fort

In which a weary young officer arrives at the modest and somewhat desolate little fort of Bélogorsk, where he encounters the peculiar inhabitants and the domestic routine of a small garrison. Through lively conversation and a kindly, though unpretentious, dinner with the Commandant's family, he begins to glimpse the simple yet stubborn spirit that sustains life on the distant frontier.
