A week has passed. Our living arrangements are delightful; an altogether special little apartment, furnished with all necessities, even its own tea set. The time passes unnoticed. I try to work a little in the mornings, but they are very disrupted, and it&amp;#039;s unlikely that anything will come of these attempts. I haven&amp;#039;t called on anyone yet, but from today onwards my social life begins, namely a formal dinner at the Persian consul&amp;#039;s. We often go to the opera, where I have an honorary free seat. There are a few singers with delightful voices; I particularly like the tenor, a certain &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Koshits&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, whom I shall certainly recommend to the directorate. After the theatre we go to the circle, which is is still in its summer condition, which I like very much. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Tolya]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; looks very well and appears quite cheerful, but often falls into fits of melancholy about his long tenure as vice-governor. [[Panya]] is till surrounded by admirers, indeed, even the same ones — no new ones yet. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Tatyana Tchaikovskaya|Tanya]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is becoming an exceptionally sympathetic person. It seems to me that she will be a charmingly sweet creature. [[Vladimir Argutinsky-Dolgorukov|Volodya &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Argutinsky&amp;#039;&amp;#039;]] has become terribly uncouth and ugly, but despite this, he is charming. He and [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]] are almost inseparable, and it even seems to me that [[Vladimir Argutinsky-Dolgorukov|Volodya]] clings to [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]], rather than vice-versa. If, out of the kindness of his soul, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vladimir Argutinsky-Dolgorukov|Volodya]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; had pretended to constantly desire [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]]&amp;#039;s company, it would not have escaped my notice. But no, he does indeed like being with [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]]. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Kokodes&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is with me constantly; he&amp;#039;s all the rage. Generally everything is wonderful.

Прошла неделя. Обстановка нашей жизни прекрасная; совсем особенная маленькая квартирка, снабжённая всем нужным, даже собственной чайной посудой. Время проходит незаметно. Я пытаюсь по утрам немного работать, — но очень мешают, и вряд ли из этих попыток что-нибудь выйдет. До сих пор ни у кого не был, но с сегодняшнего дня начинается светская жизнь, а именно парадным обедом у персидского консула. Часто бываем в опере, где у меня почётное даровое место. Есть несколько певцов с прекрасными голосами, особенно нравится мне тенор, некто &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Кошиц&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, которого я непременно буду рекомендовать дирекции. После театра бываем в кружке, который ещё на летнем положении, что я очень люблю. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Толя&amp;#039;&amp;#039; очень похорошел и имеет весьма бодрый вид, но нередко впадает в мерехлюндию по поводу своего долгого вице-губернаторства. Паня все так же окружена поклонниками, и даже все теми же, — новых пока нет. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Таня&amp;#039;&amp;#039; делается необыкновенно симпатичным человечиком. Мне кажется, что она будет очаровательно милым существом. Володя &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Аргутинский&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ужасно погрубел и подурнел, но, несмотря на то, очарователен. Они с Колей почти неразлучны, и мне даже кажется, что Володя льнёт к Коле скорее, чем наоборот. Если бы &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Володя&amp;#039;&amp;#039; по доброте души напускал на себя постоянное стремление к обществу Коли — это бы не укрылось от меня. Но нет, он в самом деле любит бывать с Колей. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Кокодес&amp;#039;&amp;#039; постоянно при мне; он в моде. Вообще все прекрасно.

Паня все так же окружена поклонниками, и даже все теми же, — новых пока нет. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Таня&amp;#039;&amp;#039; делается необыкновенно симпатичным человечиком. Мне кажется, что она будет очаровательно милым существом. Володя &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Аргутинский&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ужасно погрубел и подурнел, но, несмотря на то, очарователен. Они с Колей почти неразлучны, и мне даже кажется, что Володя льнёт к Коле скорее, чем наоборот. Если бы &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Володя&amp;#039;&amp;#039; по доброте души напускал на себя постоянное стремление к обществу Коли — это бы не укрылось от меня. Но нет, он в самом деле любит бывать с Колей. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Кокодес&amp;#039;&amp;#039; постоянно при мне; он в моде. Вообще все прекрасно. Поцелуй Боба.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

A week has passed. Our living arrangements are delightful; an altogether special little apartment, furnished with all necessities, even its own tea set. The time passes unnoticed. I try to work a little in the mornings, but they are very disrupted, and it&amp;#039;s unlikely that anything will come of these attempts. I haven&amp;#039;t called on anyone yet, but from today onwards my social life begins, namely a formal dinner at the Persian consul&amp;#039;s. We often go to the opera, where I have an honorary free seat. There are a few singers with delightful voices; I particularly like the tenor, a certain &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Koshits&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, whom I shall certainly recommend to the directorate. After the theatre we go to the circle, which is is still in its summer condition, which I like very much. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Tolya]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; looks very well and appears quite cheerful, but often falls into fits of melancholy about his long tenure as vice-governor. [[Panya]] is till surrounded by admirers, indeed, even the same ones — no new ones yet. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Tatyana Tchaikovskaya|Tanya]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is becoming an exceptionally sympathetic person. It seems to me that she will be a charmingly sweet creature. [[Vladimir Argutinsky-Dolgorukov|Volodya &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Argutinsky&amp;#039;&amp;#039;]] has become terribly uncouth and ugly, but despite this, he is charming. He and [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]] are almost inseparable, and it even seems to me that [[Vladimir Argutinsky-Dolgorukov|Volodya]] clings to [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]], rather than vice-versa. If, out of the kindness of his soul, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vladimir Argutinsky-Dolgorukov|Volodya]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; had pretended to constantly desire [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]]&amp;#039;s company, it would not have escaped my notice. But no, he does indeed like being with [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]]. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Kokodes&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is with me constantly; he&amp;#039;s all the rage. Generally everything is wonderful. Give [[Bob]] a kiss.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Кажется, что Коля, надеясь на меня, редко пишет тебе, а я в надежде на него тоже не пишу. Прошла неделя. Обстановка нашей жизни прекрасная; совсем особенная маленькая квартирка, снабжённая всем нужным, даже собственной чайной посудой. Время проходит незаметно. Я пытаюсь по утрам немного работать, — но очень мешают, и вряд ли из этих попыток что-нибудь выйдет. До сих пор ни у кого не был, но с сегодняшнего дня начинается светская жизнь, а именно парадным обедом у персидского консула. Часто бываем в опере, где у меня почётное даровое место. Есть несколько певцов с прекрасными голосами, особенно нравится мне тенор, некто &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Кошиц&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, которого я непременно буду рекомендовать дирекции. После театра бываем в кружке, который ещё на летнем положении, что я очень люблю. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Толя&amp;#039;&amp;#039; очень похорошел и имеет весьма бодрый вид, но нередко впадает в мерехлюндию по поводу своего долгого вице-губернаторства. Паня все так же окружена поклонниками, и даже все теми же, — новых пока нет. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Таня&amp;#039;&amp;#039; делается необыкновенно симпатичным человечиком. Мне кажется, что она будет очаровательно милым существом. Володя &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Аргутинский&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ужасно погрубел и подурнел, но, несмотря на то, очарователен.

Но нет, он в самом деле любит бывать с Колей. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Кокодес&amp;#039;&amp;#039; постоянно при мне; он в моде. Вообще все прекрасно. Поцелуй Боба.&lt;br /&gt;
