A Call to Pierre Lyrics > Natasha, Pierre, And The Great Comet Of 1812

(A servant hands a letter to Pierre)

SERVANT
A letter from Marya Dmitryevna asking you to come and visit her
On a matter of great importance
Relating to Andrey Bolkonsky and his betrothed

PIERRE
What?
What can they want with me?

(He arrives at Marya D.'s)

MARYA D.
Pierre, old friend I'm sorry it's late
I'm sorry I haven't seen you about
Where have you been?
Where have you been?

PIERRE
I have been studying

MARYA D.
Pierre old friend we need your help
Pierre old friend the family name
We need your help
We need your help
There's ruin at the door

PIERRE
Marya?

MARYA D.
Natasha has let down the family

PIERRE
What?

MARYA D.
Natasha has broken with Andrey

PIERRE
Natasha has tried to elope

PIERRE
What?

MARYA D.
Natasha and Antole Kuragin!

PIERRE
What?

MARYA D.
We need your help
We need your help
There's ruin at the door

PIERRE
Natasha, that charming girl?
I can't believe my ears
So I am not the only man
Tied to a bad woman
And Anatole, that stupid child
They'll lock him up for years
For Anatole is a married man!

MARYA D.
Married? He's married?

PIERRE
Yes

MARYA D.
Oh wait till I tell her

PIERRE
Poor Andrey

MARYA D.
And when Andrey comes home
He will challenge Anatole to a duel
And get himself killed
And all will be ruined

You must go see your brother-in-law
And tell him that he must leave Moscow
And not dare to let me set my eyes on him again

PIERRE
At once
