"Implore your cousin, darling Vera Vassilievna, to paint my portrait. I don't really care about the portrait, but to be with an artist to admire him, to speak to him, to breathe the same air with him! Ma pauvre tete, je deviens folle. Je compte sur vous, ma belle et bonne amie, et j'attends la reponse." "What answer shall I give her?" asked Vera, as Raisky laid the letter on the table.
Three months after "Carmen's" first equivocal success, Bizet was dead, not of a broken heart, as legend tells, but of heart-disease.

Raisky had written to Paulina Karpovna asking her if he might call the next day about one o'clock. Her answer ran: "Charmee, j'attends...." and so on.

She wore a white muslin frock with wide lace sleeves, with a yellow dahlia at her breast.
