The K's sit every evening at the club, and no hints from me will prevail on them to move from the spot. It is hot, there are no mushrooms. Suvorin has not come yet.... Come soon for it is devilishly dull. We have just caught a frog and given it to the mongoose. It has eaten it. ALEXIN, July 20, 1891. Greetings, honoured Marya Vladimirovna.
You have told them to send me four hundred? Vivat dominus Suvorin! So I have already received from your firm 400 + 100 + 400. Altogether I shall get for "The Duel" as I calculated, about fourteen hundred, so five hundred will go towards my debt. Well, and for that thank God!
He was so prostrated by the feeling of hostility surrounding him that he accepted an invitation from Suvorin to go abroad with him. When Chekhov had completed arrangements for equipping the Sahalin schools with the necessary books, they set off for the South of Europe. Vienna delighted him, and Venice surpassed all his expectations and threw him into a state of childlike ecstasy.
My estate, sir, cost thirteen thousand, and I have only paid a third, the rest is a debt which will keep me long years on the chain. Come and see me, Jean, together with Suvorin. Make a plan with him. I have such a garden! Such a naive courtyard, such geese! Write a little oftener. MELIHOVO, March 17, 1892. ... Ah, my dear fellow, if only you could take a holiday!
His little house in Moscow, which "looked like a chest of drawers," was a centre to which people, and especially young people, flocked in swarms. Upstairs they played the piano, a hired one, while downstairs he sat writing through it all. "I positively can't live without visitors," he wrote to Suvorin; "when I am alone, for some reason I am frightened."
Suvorin has got several letters. I made up my mind to pay you out, not to write to you at all but there, God bless you! I am not so very fond of letters, but when one is travelling nothing is so bad as uncertainty. How have you settled the summer villa question? Is the mongoose alive? And so on and so on. I have been in St.
I am paying visits and seeing acquaintances. I have to talk about Sahalin and India. It's horribly boring. ... Anna Ivanovna is as nice as ever, Suvorin talks as incessantly as ever. I receive the most boring invitations to the most boring dinners. It seems I must make haste and get back to Moscow, as they won't let me work here. Hurrah, we are avenged!
Travelling with Suvorin, who did not stint himself, drew him into spending more than he intended, and he owed Suvorin a sum which was further increased at Monte Carlo by Chekhov's losing nine hundred roubles at roulette. But this loss was a blessing to him in so far as, for some reason, it made him feel satisfied with himself.
The game is fearfully fascinating. After losing, Suvorin fils and I fell to thinking it over, and thought out a system which would ensure one's winning. We went yesterday, taking five hundred francs each; at the first staking I won two gold pieces, then again and again; my waistcoat pockets bulged with gold.
The public trusts me; it would trust you, too, and I might reckon on succeeding. Do you remember I wrote to you? Suvorin came to Moscow at the time; I complained to him that I did not know your address. He telegraphed to Baranov, and Baranov was so kind as to send it to me.
