Volume 3: Book 11 - Chapter 27

Characters Present:

Pierre Bezukhov
Makár Alexéevich

Location: 

Joseph Alexéevich Bazdéev's former home, Moscow

Pierre is bordering on insanity, and doesn't really remember the past, and is only just coping with the present by going through Joseph's masonic papers, looking for grounding and wisdom.

He starts to formulate a plot to assassinate Napoleon, and has accepted that if caught, he will be killed. 

Makár Alexéevich stumbles drunkenly into the room, shouting about Napoleon. 

There is a knock at the door.
