Tomorrow at 11 in the morning I&amp;#039;m going to collect her, taking her first to the Institute, then to [[Papochka]], then to the Kartsovs. Madame Gausman complains that we bring too many sweets. Next week we shall have to spoil [[Tasya]] less. She seems to be studying altogether well, and complains that it is too easy for her.

На будущей неделе придётся уже меньше баловать Тасю. Учится она, кажется, совсем хорошо и жалуется, что ей слишком легко. В общем Тася производит на меня обаятельное впечатление цельностью, непосредственностью своей симпатичной натуры. Я её стал любить теперь ещё более прежнего.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

I&amp;#039;m hurrying to tell you a few words about &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Tasya]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. I&amp;#039;ve seen here three times. She has borne her childhood grief with great courage and fortitude, and now makes the most favourable impression. I was at the Norovs&amp;#039; together with [[Tasya]] yesterday; she seemed very happy with her holidays, very pleased to be with [[Olga Nikolayevna]], and expressed reluctance to go to Koribut today. Tomorrow at 11 in the morning I&amp;#039;m going to collect her, taking her first to the Institute, then to [[Papochka]], then to the Kartsovs. Madame Gausman complains that we bring too many sweets. Next week we shall have to spoil [[Tasya]] less. She seems to be studying altogether well, and complains that it is too easy for her. In general, [[Tasya]] makes a charming impression on me with the integrity and spontaneity of her agreeable nature. I&amp;#039;ve come to love her even more than before.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

I found [[Papochka]] well and cheerful, but so feeble and elderly that I&amp;#039;m starting to fear for the future. But what&amp;#039;s to be done? This is the order of things.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

In essence, this was a big nonsense, greatly inflated by [[Tolya]]; but you and [[Nikolay Tchaikovsky|Kolya]] are somewhat to blame. You fanned the flames when they needed to be put out. Be that as it may, [[Tolino]]&amp;#039;s pride is completely satisfied. Plehve has officially declared that he considers [[Tolya]]] not only to be useful, but essential for the service. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

On the other hand, I feel sorry for [[Tolya]], and for [[Papochka]]; well, in short, I am a most unhappy fellow here, and my mind is such a mess that I can&amp;#039;t work anything out.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Уж сколько дней сбираюсь я написать тебе, голубушка Саша, — но с петербургской суматохой; с суетой переезда на кв[артиру] решительно не мог найти ни минуты. Спешу сказать тебе несколько слов о &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Тасе&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Я видел её три раза. Она очень бодро и твёрдо перенесла своё детское горе и теперь производит самое благоприятное впечатление. Вчера я был у Норовых вместе с Тасей; она казалась очень счастлива отпуском, очень довольна находиться у Ольги Никол[аевны] и выражала неохоту отправляться сегодня к Корибут. Завтра в 11 ч(асов] утра я еду за ней, отвожу её сначала в Институт, потом к Папочке, потом к Карцевым. M[ada]me Гаусман жалуется, что мы слишком много привозим сладостей. На будущей неделе придётся уже меньше баловать Тасю. Учится она, кажется, совсем хорошо и жалуется, что ей слишком легко. В общем Тася производит на меня обаятельное впечатление цельностью, непосредственностью своей симпатичной натуры. Я её стал любить теперь ещё более прежнего.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ольга Никол[аевна] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;удивительно мила с Тасей&amp;#039;&amp;#039; и на деле оказывается таким же хорошим и преданным тебе другом, как и на словах. Папочку я нашёл здоровы и весёлым, но до того слабым и состарившимся, что становится страшно за будущее. Но что делать! Это в порядке вещей.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Толино дело оказалось мыльным пузырём. В сущности, это был большой вздор, сильно раздутый Толей; но ты и Коля немножко виноваты. Вы раздували пламень, когда нужно было тушить. Как бы то ни было, но Толино самолюбие совершенно удовлетворено. Плеве официально заявил, что считает Толю не только полезным, но необходимым для службы.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Про себя ничего не скажу. Одна мысль и одно желание царят в моей голове: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;поскорей уехать&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, — до того ненавистен мне Петербург и эта сумасшедшая жизнь. С другой же стороны, жаль Толю, жаль Папочку; ну, словом, я здесь самый несчастный человек, и в моей душе такой кавардак, что ничего не разберёшь. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Саня! Из 100 р[ублей], которые ты мне должна, употреби сколько нужно на белье для милой н а ты. Целую нежно всех Вас! Когда-то попаду в Каменку! Думаю, что к октябрю. &lt;br /&gt;
