Volume 3: Book 11 - Chapter 18

Characters Present:

Pierre Bezukov

Gerásim

Location:

Moscow 

Pierre is confused after being told to leave Moscow by Count Rostopchín, and his confusion is later compounded by the news that his wife is marrying someone else.

He drifts over to his now deceased benefactor, Joseph Bazdéev's home, and asks for access to his library where Pierre spends some time reading old masonic tomes and manuscripts.

The housekeeper, Gerásim, asks if he can help with anything, and Pierre asks if him if he is aware that there will be a battle on the morrow, and sends him out to procure some peasants clothes.

Pierre begs Gerásim not to reveal his identity, and they go to the market to buy a pistol, which is where Pierre meets with the Rostóv family.
