One lovely June morning my matutinal stroll led me, aimlessly I thought, though who knows what subtle influences may direct our most seemingly purposeless actions, and thereby shape our destiny along the Ismailskaia Prospekt, which, nearly a year back, had been the scene of the assassination of De Plehve, the man who for two years had controlled Petersburg with an iron hand.
He took me to a house in a mean street near the Ismailskaia Prospekt not half a mile from the place where I was arrested this morning of which the ground floor was a poor class café frequented chiefly by workmen and students. "You will go to the place I shall show you," he had informed me beforehand, "and call for a glass of tea, just like any one else. Then as you pay for it, you drop a coin, so.
I was taken up to a private sitting-room, and there, right enough, was Mishka himself. In his way he was as remarkable a man as his master; as imperturbable, and as much at home in a London hotel, as in the café near the Ismailskaia Prospekt in Petersburg. He greeted me with a warmth that I felt to be flattering from one of his temperament.
