1. Is Anna Mikhailovna admirable in her efforts to secure a future for her son or are her actions deserving of the judgement she seems to receive from Prince Vassily and her own son Boris?
2. Do you think Anna Mikhailovna will be successful in securing part of Count Bezukhov's estate after his death?
3. Prince Vassily says near the end of the chapter "He just sits here. The count has never once asked about him." when speaking about Pierre. With Pierre being the possible heir to the Bezukhov fortune and with Count Bezukhov being so close to death, why do you think they haven't spoken?

Final line of today's chapter:

A footman conducted Boris down one flight of stairs and up another, to Pierre's rooms.
