Characters Present:
Natasha Rostova
Prince Andrew Bolkónski
Count Pierre Bezukhov
Countess Natalya Rostova
Location:
The New Years Ball, Petersburg
Natasha despairs as she is left alone with her family against a wall, and is close to tears as nobody is asking her to dance.
Across the room, Prince Andrew Bolkónski is partaking in some boring political conversations, and mentions to Count Pierre Berzúkhov that he would like to dance soon. Pierre points out young Natasha standing forlornly across the room, and Prince Andrew excitedly crosses over and asks Countess Natalya Rostova if he can ask Natasha to dance. Permission is granted, and Natasha very keenly joins Prince Andrew, who becomes ever more enamored with her.
