Characters Present:

Anna Pávlovna
Princess Lisa Bolkónskaya
Princess Anna Mikháylovna Drubetskáya
Prince Andrew Bolkónski 
Prince Vasíle Kuragin
Pierre Bezukhov

Location:

Still at Anna Pávlovna´s reception.

Andrew arrives and is utterly bored by the company and his wife, Lisa. He is by comparison, delighted when Pierre approaches him, and takes his arm and insists that they meet for dinner.

Anna Mikháylovna Drubetskáya implores Vasíle, to speak to the Emperor about moving her son into the Guard. 

Vasíle is resistant at first, but is soon convinced when Princess Anna reminds him of how her father helped his own career along. He agrees to effect the move, and then is told that he will be late for a fete held by his daughter, Princess Héléne Kuragina, and leaves.
