“Confess, though, you repent?”...

“What nonsense! If I like I will be at Princess Ligovski’s to-morrow evening!”...

“We shall see”...

“I will even begin to pay my addresses to Princess Mary, if you would like me to”...

“Yes, if she is willing to speak to you”...

“I am only awaiting the moment when she will be bored by your conversation... Goodbye”...

“Well, I am going for a stroll; I could not go to sleep now for anything... Look here, let us go to the restaurant instead, there is cardplaying going on there... What I need now is violent sensations”...

“I hope you will lose”...

I went home.
