Characters Present:
Count Pierre Bezukhov
Vera Berg (nee Rostova)
Colonel Adolf Berg
Location:
The Berg apartments
The newly-wed couple are now settled into their apartments in Moscow and intend to throw a small party.
Colonel Adolf Berg pays a visit to the Bezukhov household. Upon being rejected for an audience with Countess Hélène Berzúkhova, he visits Pierre and invites him to the party.
Pierre can see that his wife Hélène has cruelly rejected the invitation because she considers the Bergs beneath her social station. Pierre agrees to attend and though he is generally late to things, arrives at the party five minutes early.
Though the party starts off awkwardly with Vera and Adolf disagreeing as how to entertain their prestigious guest, things relax after other people begin to arrive.
