At the Rostóv´s house.

The dinner party finished and the guests have moved into the two drawing rooms. Natasha notices that Sonya is missing and goes to find her.

She discovers Sonya crying, and upon asking why, finds out that Nicholas Rostóv has received his papers to leave for the army the following week. Sonya is also upset because she thinks that he is becoming keen on Julie Karagina , and that they will have trouble marrying because they are cousins. 

Natasha reassures Sonya that it shouldn´t be a problem, because their Uncle Shinshín´s brother didn´t have any problems when he married his first cousin.
