Prince Vasíli's house
It is Hélène's birthday and Vasíli and Aline are throwing her a small party. Pierre has grown increasingly obsessed with Hélène and is now trying overcome his belief that she is a bit dim.
It gets to the end of the evening and though they are sitting alone chatting, Pierre still cannot ask her to marry him. Prince Vasíli Kuragin keeps being awkward and going over to see what is happening, and eventually pretends that he had heard from his wife that they were now engaged, and congratulates them both on their engagement very publicly.
Pierre and Hélène get married six weeks later.
