Count Pierre Bezukhov
Héléne Kuragina (now Countess)
Location:
The Bezukhov house, Moscow
Pierre returns home and goes straight to his deceased fathers bedroom, where he considers how much he dislikes his wife; how beautiful she is; and how bad it will look to her that he shot her lover.
He falls asleep eventually, and is woken the next morning by his footman and Héléne. Hélène mocks Pierre over the duel and says that she wasn't having an affair with Dolókhov, but just spends so much time with him because he is wittier and smarter than Pierre. Pierre says that they should separate and she scoffs and says that she will take most of his fortune.
The following week Pierre packs his things, gives control of a great deal of his estate to Hélène then goes to his other home in Petersburg.
