He looked very incredulous, so I went on: "The lady was trying to kill herself, and rushed up to the next floor with a knife in her hand. I saw the musjig run after her and force it from her." The man was absolutely speechless.
All this you seem to have seen accurately; also the fact that the musjig pursued her and succeeded in wrenching the knife from her hands before she had injured herself with it. The paper mentions that a Russian gentleman had gone to the rescue when he heard the shrieks, but this was before she had got hold of the knife, and it was the musjig alone who saved her, in the end, from immediate death."
In one hand she held a knife, and was trying to stab herself with it, as a musjig in crimson coat rushed after her, and endeavoured to wrench it out of her hand. Two or three other people ran up the stairs behind her, but only this peasant seemed to have the courage or presence of mind to grapple with her.
In her awful agony she seized a knife that she had either secreted or found in her room rushed out into the passage in a blaze, and when the musjig tried to stop her, she ran from him, and attempted to stab herself as she made her way up the stairs.
At that moment my eyes lighted on my special German waiter talking in a hushed whisper to a musjig in the usual red coat. So I beckoned to him, and very reluctantly he came to my door. Being asked in German what was the meaning of the shrieks we had heard, he said at once that a lady had been taken ill suddenly.
A Russian gentleman, sleeping near her, was awakened by the noise, and knowing that she was a rich woman, and had brought many valuables with her, he concluded she was being murdered; so he rushed to the rescue with a revolver, found the burning woman, and he and the musjig at length succeeded in putting out the flames. The story was well told, and perfectly credible.
