Pierre makes several faux pas when he first enters the soirée – he does not feign interest in Anna Pavlovna’s boring aunt, and he talks to the hostess too long even after she indicates that she needs to be elsewhere. Unaware of his etiquette mistakes, Pierre's only concern is to find intelligent conversation.
