Book 2 - Chapter 11

Characters Present:

Prince Andrew Bolkónski
Bilíbin
Prince Hippolyte Kurágin
three other men, described as diplomats

Location: 

Bilíbin's house


Prince Andrew wakes at Bilíbin's house and puts on his dress uniform, for today, he is to meet with the Emperor Francis. 

He heads downstairs to Bilíbin's study and finds him in there in light-hearted conversation with Prince Hippolyte Kurágin and three other men who are diplomats.  Bolkónski learns that Kurágin is super popular with the ladies, and he gets invited out with the group to see the sights and attractive women of Brünn.

Bolkónski declines, explaining that he must meet with the Emperor that morning. Bilíbin advises him try and talk a lot, as the Emperor dislikes speaking.
