"But never mind, Christian Gregorovitch, your wife is only a weak woman, but she can take care for two, never fear!" Fischelowitz was of the same opinion as he, at last, took his hat and left the house. To him, the whole affair had a pleasant savour of humour about it, and he was by no means so much disturbed as Johann Schmidt or Vjera.

I cannot leave her any longer."
I had been in the garden for a few minutes when heavy rain began to fall, and I was going to leave, when the empress summoned me into an apartment on the ground floor of the palace, where she was walking up and down with Gregorovitch and a maid of honour.

"It is all your fault!" she exclaimed. "What business have you to come between husband and wife with your friends and your cursed dolls, the fiend take them, and you! Is it for this that Christian Gregorovitch and I have lived together in harmony these ten years and more? Is it for this that we have lived without a word of anger " "What did you say?" asked Fischelowitz, with an angry laugh.
His perception cannot possibly be so dull as yours, Christian Gregorovitch, my little husband."
