Volume 1: Book 5 - Chapter 13

Characters Present:

Prince Andrew Bolkónski
Count Pierre Bezukhov
Princess Mary Bolkónskaya
2 peasants

Location:

Bald Hill Estate

Andrew and Pierre arrive back at Bald Hill Estate and seek Mary out.  They find her in a prayer session with two peasants from the village.

One of the peasants tells Pierre about a local statue of the Virgin Mary weeping, and a tale of how it restored a general's sight.  Pierre says that is must be trick, as the church takes advantage of people, and the peasant gets upset and tries to leave.  Pierre makes out that he was joking, and the peasant remains.
