I know that we are going to a name-day party, but who will be there?" "Oh, all sorts! Even Kirillov." "All members of circles?" "Hang it all, you are in a hurry! There's not one circle formed yet."

I beg you, dear papa, most urgently to keep the matter quiet as long as possible, and in the mean time to pay her father on my account any expenses he may have incurred by her entrance into the convent, which I will repay gladly when I return to Salzburg.

"This is Alois's name-day, is it not?" said the old man Daas that night, from the corner where he was stretched upon his bed of sacking.
