Kotúzov, the Austrian General and Prince Andrew Bolónski are going through some documents and letters from Archduke Ferdinand and are discussing General Mack and whether Austria had been defeated or not.

They send Prince Andrew out to get some scout reports from Prince Kózlovski. It is noted that Prince Andrew has changed since he left Russia, and is now less indolent and more agreeable.  When he reaches Prince Kózlovski, they chat about Austria's rumoured defeat, and a bandaged General Mack comes through the door wishing to speak with Prince Kózlovski, who emerges from his study.

General Mack imparts the news that Austria had indeed been defeated, and Prince Nevitski and Zherkóv both jest about the defeat to the generals, which Prince Andrew gets a bee in his bonnet about.

General Kutúzov arrives to inspect the army, with Prince Andrew and Prince Nesvítski who are joking privately.  Prince Andrew reminds Kutúzov that he wanted to inspect Dólokhov, which he does, and proceeds to shame for actions that got him demoted.

The regimental commander has a conversation with Captain Timokhin, who reveals that Prince Andrew is a moody character - moody one day, wild the next - and that he almost killed a Jew while they were in Poland. The Captain threatens to take Dólokhov's epaulettes if he stuffs up again.

Zherkóv rides up to Dolókhov and asks him if we wants to play cards, who declines as he wants to restore his good name.

The Russian army

Location:

It is October 1805, and the Russian army occupy towns around the Archduchy of Austria, while other regiments arrive in Braunau.

On October 11th 1805, a regiment arrives in Braunau, having spent 24 hours marching without rest, as during the night, they had been commanded to clean up their equipment and clothing for an inspection by General Kutúzov in the morning.  They arrive looking pretty good, except for some holes in their boots which had worn out sometime in the previous 700 miles. 

A call goes down the line for the commander of the third company to make himself known to General Kutúzov.  The general comes and shouts at him and Dólokhov, an officer of the company who has been demoted, and is for reasons unknown wearing a blue great coat.

Princess Lisa Bolkónskaya

Prince Nicholas Bolkónski

Princess Mary Bolkónskaya

the random French woman, Mademoiselle Bourienne

Setting:  

Bald Hill Estate

Prince Andrew is getting ready to leave, and he pretends not to be sentimental about leaving when his sister, Princess Mary comes to speak to him.   She reiterates that it would be better for his wife Princess Lisa to go into the city as it was too isolated at Bald Hills Estate, which he disagrees with and then says that he doesn't like Mademoiselle Bourienne. 

Prince Andrew then goes to say goodbye to his father, Prince Nicholas, who seems to be proud of him for going to war over staying with his wife, and hands a letter to him, to be delivered to Michael Ilariónovich (General Kutúzov).  Prince Nicholas also expresses concern over his own death and gives Prince Andrew some manuscripts and will-like documents to be read after his death.

Prince Andrew then says goodbye to his wife and leaves.
