Characters Present:
Mávra Kuzmínichna
Ignát, the yard porter
Míshka, a page boy
The Rostóv's home, Moscow
Moscow is deserted, except for some servants left over at the Rostóvs home.
Ignát and Miska are in the drawing room, and Mishka dares to play a few keys on the clavicord until Mávra, his aunt, catches him, and tells him off.
There is a knock at the door, and it is a young, tattered looking officer, asking for Count Rostóv. The young officer says that he is a nephew, and that he had come to borrow a small amount of money. Mávra gives him 25 rubles, and the young officer runs off to rejoin his regiment.
