War and Peace
Authorship not stated
A Petersburg drawing room where every chair is assigned to a title before a guest sits in it. You play Pierre Bezukhov, home from Europe for an hour and already defending Napoleon too loudly for the company. Prince Vasili raises your ill father and your uncertain claim to him without letting the word touch his smile. Andrei Bolkonsky finds your hat and takes you out to supper: he has accepted a place on Kutuzov's staff, because staying has begun to feel more dishonest than leaving.
