Volume 3: Book 11 - Chapter 32

Characters Present:

Prince Andrew Bolkónski

Timókhin
Natasha Rostova

Location: 
Mytíshchi, about 14 miles from Moscow


Prince Andrew is inspected by a doctor, who makes unhappy sounds at the appearance and smell of Andrews mortifying flesh. 

Andrew is in a kind of delirium, and is experiencing some kind of hyper-sensitivity.  

Natasha enters, and he thinks it is another hallucination, but is pleased that it is actually her, so that he can share his new god-given-love for her.  Andrew suddenly feels a great empathy, and feels bad for his harsh rejection of her.  When she begs his forgiveness, he tells her there is nothing to forgive.

Prince Andrew Bolkonski
Timokhin

Location:

Knyazkóvo


Pierre, Andrew and Timokhin discuss the army under Kutúzov's command.

He sends Pierre away to have some rest before the battle, and then starts to think about how much he had loved Natasha, and how Anatole Kurágin saw nothing of her beautiful soul, only a fresh, young pretty thing to be taken.

Book 2 - Chapter 2

Characters Present:

General Kutúzov
Prince Andrew Bolkónski
Prince Nesvítski
Fedor Ivanovich Dólokhov
Captain Timokhin
A regimental commander
Zherkóv - former member of a "wild set" in Petersburg run by Dólokhov

Location:

Braunau


General Kutúzov arrives to inspect the army, with Prince Andrew and Prince Nesvítski who are joking privately.  Prince Andrew reminds Kutúzov that he wanted to inspect Dólokhov, which he does, and proceeds to shame for actions that got him demoted.

The regimental commander has a conversation with Captain Timokhin, who reveals that Prince Andrew is a moody character - moody one day, wild the next - and that he almost killed a Jew while they were in Poland. The Captain threatens to take Dólokhov's epaulettes if he stuffs up again.

Zherkóv rides up to Dolókhov and asks him if we wants to play cards, who declines as he wants to restore his good name.
