I have already mentioned my arrival at midnight, and how thankful I was to find an open door and an empty bed at the Hotel d'Angleterre.

"Julie Rosier or Sophie Markovitch, as her real name is was arrested in a house in the Nevski yesterday, while the Baron was discovered at the Hôtel d'Angleterre. Both are most violent revolutionists, and to them is due the terrible rioting in Moscow a few months ago.
This solitary tavern rejoiced in the name of "Cafe d'Angleterre," but if its owner expected thereby to attract the custom of Mr John Bull, he was singularly mistaken. The chief customers of the place were labourers and navvies, who by their noisy jargon were evidently innocent of all pretensions to a foreign tongue.
