Characters Present:
Anna Pávlovna
Boris Drubetskóy
Prince Hippolyte Kurágin
Countess Hélène Kuragina
Location:
Anna Pávlovna's house in Petersburg/Countess Hélène's house
The soiree goes on and Prince Hippolyte holds everyone's attention with a series of jokes about Prussia.
The evening ends and Hélène insists that Boris Drubetskóy go around to see her on the coming Tuesday. He goes, and doesn't understand why he was invited, as she barely speaks to him.
Hélène then requests that he go to see her again for dinner the following evening, and the book then describes Boris as becoming an "intimate" in the countess's house.
