From memory she urges Marya to put her trust in the French, but Marya rejects the advice. I think Bourienne is mentioned later in passing as being still with the Bolkonskies (this when they have fled east of Moscow) and after that she disappears from the narrative. <br /><br />When I was reading the book I was expecting that she would throw in her lot with the French and then disappear from the book as they retreat from Moscow, probably to meet some terrible fate, so I was glad that this did not happen to her.ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958839106380353855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17108773.post-7714804173969259232015-01-22T20:02:44.524+00:002015-01-22T20:02:44.524+00:00P.S.

Would she run off with one of the French soldiers, or stay with the Bolkonski's?<br />At any rate, I think she is named Amelie. At least, Princess Mary refers to someone name Amelie at the end of Chapter Four, Book Three, and in the context, it could only be Mlle. Bourienne.Romi Elnagarnoreply@blogger.com
