Characters Present:
Countess Natalya Rostova
Natasha Rostova
Location:
The Rostóv home, Petersburg
It is bedtime and Natasha runs into her mothers bed and leaps in while her mother is saying her prayers. The countess affects to be annoyed, but is in truth fond of these occurrences, which happen regularly while Count Rostóv is at his club.
They speak of Boris Drubetskóy and Natalya tells Natasha that she should stop Boris from visiting, as Natasha can not marry him due to his poor finances. Natasha protests slightly but seems to accept it in good graces.
The following day, the countess has a quiet word with Boris, who subsequently stops visiting.
