Characters Present:
Prince Andrew Bolkónski
Count Kochubéy
Michael Mikháylovich Speránski (Secretary of State)
Location:
Petersburg
Prince Andrew continues to prosper socially in Petersburg - he has become rather popular after freeing some of his serfs; and his near death, combined with the death of his wife has made him a romantic figure amongst the women.
Prince Andrew meets with Count Kochubéy, who having heard about Prince Andrew's less than pleasant meeting with the Minister of War, sets up a meeting between Prince Andrew and the Secretary of State, Michael Mikháylovick Speránski.
Prince Andrew finds that he greatly admires and envies Speránski, and the meeting goes well. Speránski invites Prince Andrew for dinner on the following Wednesday.
