Characters Present:
Old Prince Nicholas Bolkónski
Alpátych
Princess Mary Bolkónskaya
Location:
Bald Hill Estate, then Boguchárovo
When Alpátych returns from Smolénsk, Prince Nicholas finally has the realisation that his household is in danger and everyone goes, except for Princess Mary, who refuses to leave her father, who is insisting on staying to defend Ball Hills.
Prince Nicholas then has a stroke, and becomes paralysed down one side his body, and loses the ability to speak very clearly.
Princess Mary goes to sit with him, and he manages to tell her that he always thinks of her, thanks her for everything, then asks her to send for Andrew. Mary replies that she had a letter from Andrew saying that Smolénsk was lost, and Prince Nicholas begins to weep.
Mary goes for a short walk in the garden, and the doctor comes out to say that the old prince has died.
