Volume 1: Book 1 - Chapter 1

Characters Present:

Anna Pávlovna (Maid of Honour to Empress Marya Fyodorovna)
Prince Vasíli Kurágin

Location: 

Anna Pávlovna's house for tea

The prince is the only one there so far. They discuss Napoleon for a bit and mention that England and the rest of Europe are not doing enough to stop him, Austria are bastards and Russia alone must save Europe.

They then move onto other topics, including the Prince´s three children, of which only two are charming. In other social matters, Prince Vasíli requests to be set up in an affair with Prince Andrew Bolkónski´s new wife, Lisa, who is bored.
