Characters Present:

Uncle Rostóv
Nicholas Rostóv
Natasha Rostova
Petya Rostóv

Location: 

Uncle Rostóv's house in a little village called Mikháylovna

It is close to dinner time, and the hunting party find themselves close to Uncle Rostóv's home, and he invites Nicholas, Natasha and Petya for supper.  Uncle Rostóv's serfs marvel at Natasha being on a horse, and carrying hunting equipment.

A delicious supper is prepared the housekeeper, Anísya Fëdorovna, and while eating, Uncle Rostóv and Nicholas remark on Natasha's energy and how admirably manlike it is.  

After dinner, Anísya Fëdorovna plays some Russian folk-songs on guitar, and Natasha dances not like a countess, but like she has the spirit of the Russian people in her.

At 9pm, two traps arrive, sent from the Rostóv home, to bring Natasha, Nicholas and a now sleeping Petya home.
