| Сегодня утром в Консерваторию явилась Малоземова с нарочною целью передать тебе от Лавровской билет на сегодняшний концерт. Очень жаль, что не застал тебя, хотел с тобой обедать.
Пётр Великий |
This morning Malozyomova turned up at the Conservatory with the sole intention of passing on to you a ticket from Lavrovskaya for today's concert [1]. It's a great pity she didn't catch you, as she wanted to have dinner with you.
Peter the Great |
