Princess Mary Bolkónskaya
Mademoiselle Bourienne
Prince Nicholas Bolkónski
Location:
Russia, then Turkey, then Bald Hill Estate
Prince Andrew rejoins the army under General Kutúzov, hoping to run unto Anatole, so that he can challenge him to a duel about something new, as to not further tarnish Natasha's name.
He is unsuccessful, and eventually returns to Bald Hill Estate. Andrew finds everything much the same there: Princess Mary unhappy; his father still cantankerous but now missing a tooth; and Mademoiselle Bourienne still influencing matters where she should have no influence. He does find that his son, Nicholas has grown, and looks much like his late wife.
Prince Andrew has a fight with his father, and leaves the following day to return to the army without saying goodbye, despite Mary begging him to stay and speak to him, as the old prince might die soon.
