Prokófy appears briefly as a strong footman in the household, occupied with plaiting slippers from scraps of cloth. When overcome with feeling, he trembles and stoops to kiss a shoulder, revealing a tenderness beneath his servant’s reserve. The text gives no wider history or later role for him, but his brief appearance leaves an impression of humble devotion.
