Old Prince Nicholas Bolkónski
Mademoiselle Bourienne
Location:
Bald Hill Estate
Princess Mary receives a letter from her brother, declaring his engagement to Natasha Rostova, apologising for not telling her earlier.
She shows the letter to their father, who goes off in a rant about how Prince Andrew should only marry once he, Old Prince Nicholas, is dead. He goes on to exclaim that he would like to marry Mademoiselle Bourienne so that Princess Mary and Prince Andrew could have a step-mother.
Princess Mary feels bit down, and influenced by her religious people, she decides to go on a pilgrimage. She changes her mind the next morning, feeling like a sinner, because she loves her father and her tiny nephew more than God.
