Book 1 - Chapter 28

Characters Present:


Prince Andrew Bolkónski
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.
