Darya Alexandrovna, getting the message, simply sighed over the rouble wasted on it, and understood that it was an after-dinner affair. She knew Stiva had a weakness after dining for faire jouer le télégraphe. Everything, together with the excellent dinner and the wine, not from Russian merchants, but imported direct from abroad, was extremely dignified, simple, and enjoyable.
People have been known to go with all their luggage on Gygi's handcart to the station then turn aside at the last moment, caught back by the purple woods. A traveller, glancing up at the little three-storey house with 'Poste et Telegraphe' above the door, could never guess how busy the world that came and went beneath its red-tiled roof.

The inventor concealed its mode of working, but it was believed to be electrical, and there was a needle which stopped at various points on a dial.
