Volume 3: Book 11 - Chapter 15

Characters Present:

Countess Natalya Rostova
Madame Schoss
Natasha Rostova
Count Ilya Rostóv

Location:

Moscow 

The value of paper money in Moscow has dropped rapidly, while the value of supplies like cloth and horses have increased.

Ilya wakes from his sleep, and finds some wounded officers in the hall who ask him if they can go on one of his carts to escape Moscow.  The count consents, and orders some of the luggage to be unpacked from the carts to make room.

Natalya summons her husband after hearing complaints from Madame Schoss, and tells her husband that their belongings will be their only wealth, and that he must have them put back on the carts.

Natasha overhears, and asks why her mother objects.
