It&amp;#039;s very good for me, I&amp;#039;m not homesick, I feel very well, I&amp;#039;m eating and sleeping splendidly, walking a lot and with pleasure — but I do not have what I had last year, i.e. frequent ecstasies and sensations of bliss from being face to face with nature. Part of the reason for this is the windy weather — and part from the effect of the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;viper&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039; letter, which has not yet faded. Anyway, I&amp;#039;ll say no more. All the books have been skimmed or re-read, and the music too — therefore, you need to look within yourself, more so than last year, for the elements to pass the time pleasantly. And now I find myself with constant and persistent thoughts &amp;#039;&amp;#039;about divorce, about the viper&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, etc. Nevertheless, I&amp;#039;m very glad not to have brought any work with me! It&amp;#039;s very useful for me to be &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;a &lt;/del&gt;somewhat idle. Yesterday I took a trip to one of the most charming places: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Skala&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, and drank tea there. Unfortunately the weather &amp;#039;&amp;#039;needled&amp;#039;&amp;#039; me, namely, an annoying and rather cold wind. You know what else maddens me? There are literally &amp;#039;&amp;#039;no lilies of the valley&amp;#039;&amp;#039; here. I didn&amp;#039;t entirely trust the butler&amp;#039;s assertions that there wasn&amp;#039;t a single lily of the valley in the entire district, but yesterday in the woods, despite my most thorough searches, I didn&amp;#039;t find a single leaf. In &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mariengay&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, i.e. the overgrown ancient monastery garden located near the house, there&amp;#039;s no trace of them either. In general, I&amp;#039;m astonished by the difference between the flora here and in [[Kamenka]]. All the herbs and flowers that grow in the garden and in the woods at [[Kamenka]], such as nettles, chicories, quinoa, etc. are also to be found here, but here they are of colossal sizes, fat and enormous. But then the lilacs still haven&amp;#039;t bloomed, and there are no lilies of the valley at all!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;I&amp;#039;m enjoying [[Brailov]] less this time than I did last year.

Отчасти причиной этого ветреная погода, — отчасти же все ещё не сгладившееся впечатление от письма &amp;#039;&amp;#039;гадины&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Впрочем, и то сказать! Книги все пересмотрены или перечитаны, ноты тоже; — следовательно, нужно больше, чем в прошлом году, в самом себе искать элементов для приятного препровождения времени. А в себе я теперь нахожу постоянные и упорные помыслы &amp;#039;&amp;#039;о разводе, о гадине&amp;#039;&amp;#039; и т. д. Тем не менее я очень радуюсь, что не взял с собой работы! Мне очень полезно полениться немножко. Вчера совершил поездку в одно из самых прелестных мест: на &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Скалу&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, и пил там чай. К сожалению, погода — &amp;#039;&amp;#039;швах&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, а именно: назойливый и довольно холодный ветер. Знаешь ещё, что меня бесит? Здесь буквально &amp;#039;&amp;#039;нет ландышей&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Я не вполне доверял утверждениям дворецкого, что во всем уезде нет ни одного ландыша, — но вчера в лесу, несмотря на самые тщательные поиски, не нашёл ни одного листочка. В &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Мариенгай&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, т. е. в одичалом древнем монастырском саду, находящемся вблизи дома, их тоже нет и в помине. Вообще меня поражает разница в флоре здешней и каменской.

Вчера жаловался, что не дают за чаем масла и что ему по вечерам надоедают беседы с дворецким. Сегодня поедем в мои любимый лес, и я всё-таки не теряю надежды найти ландыши. А засим, милый мой Модя, благодарю тебя за прелестный месяц сожития в Каменке, желаю тебе не скучать в &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Гранкине &lt;/ins&gt;и обнимаю крепко тебя и Колю.

It&amp;#039;s very good for me, I&amp;#039;m not homesick, I feel very well, I&amp;#039;m eating and sleeping splendidly, walking a lot and with pleasure — but I do not have what I had last year, i.e. frequent ecstasies and sensations of bliss from being face to face with nature. Part of the reason for this is the windy weather — and part from the effect of the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;viper&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039; letter, which has not yet faded. Anyway, I&amp;#039;ll say no more. All the books have been skimmed or re-read, and the music too — therefore, you need to look within yourself, more so than last year, for the elements to pass the time pleasantly. And now I find myself with constant and persistent thoughts &amp;#039;&amp;#039;about divorce, about the viper&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, etc. Nevertheless, I&amp;#039;m very glad not to have brought any work with me! It&amp;#039;s very useful for me to be a somewhat idle. Yesterday I took a trip to one of the most charming places: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Skala&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, and drank tea there. Unfortunately the weather &amp;#039;&amp;#039;needled&amp;#039;&amp;#039; me, namely, an annoying and rather cold wind. You know what else maddens me? There are literally &amp;#039;&amp;#039;no lilies of the valley&amp;#039;&amp;#039; here. I didn&amp;#039;t entirely trust the butler&amp;#039;s assertions that there wasn&amp;#039;t a single lily of the valley in the entire district, but yesterday in the woods, despite my most thorough searches, I didn&amp;#039;t find a single leaf. In &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mariengay&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, i.e. the overgrown ancient monastery garden located near the house, there&amp;#039;s no trace of them either. In general, I&amp;#039;m astonished by the difference between the flora here and in [[Kamenka]]. All the herbs and flowers that grow in the garden and in the woods at [[Kamenka]], such as nettles, chicories, quinoa, etc. are also to be found here, but here they are of colossal sizes, fat and enormous. But then the lilacs still haven&amp;#039;t bloomed, and there are no lilies of the valley at all!&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

How embarrassed I am to have a butler serving me, although he is very nice! I still consider it my duty to &amp;#039;&amp;#039;talk&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to him, but last year I imprudently exhausted all the material for a conversation with him! This spoils my gastronomic pleasures here. I&amp;#039;m sleeping magnificently. On the way, I spent so much money that I don&amp;#039;t have enough to return, and I&amp;#039;ll now be writing to [[Leva]] about sending 25 rubles, without which it will be impossible to budge from here. It&amp;#039;s sad to think that you won&amp;#039;t be in [[Kamenka]]! Half my pleasure is lost due to the absence of you and [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]]. I&amp;#039;ll be thinking about you this evening. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

The house is magnificent, luxuriously furnished, including many expensive items — but it is too new. Everything is brand new, only just purchased, and in the most fashionable taste. It captivates the eye — but not for long. However, it seems to me that I&amp;#039;m not quite at ease, and therefore prone to criticism. I think that as soon as the wind stops howling, and the lilacs bloom, then I&amp;#039;ll be just as blissful as last year.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

На этот раз я менее наслаждаюсь Браиловым, чем в прошлом году. Мне очень хорошо, я не скучаю, чувствую себя очень здоровым, отлично ем и сплю, гуляю много и с удовольствием, — но нет того, что было в прошлом году, т. е. частых экстазов и ощущений блаженства от пребывания с глазу на глаз с природой. Отчасти причиной этого ветреная погода, — отчасти же все ещё не сгладившееся впечатление от письма &amp;#039;&amp;#039;гадины&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Впрочем, и то сказать! Книги все пересмотрены или перечитаны, ноты тоже; — следовательно, нужно больше, чем в прошлом году, в самом себе искать элементов для приятного препровождения времени. А в себе я теперь нахожу постоянные и упорные помыслы &amp;#039;&amp;#039;о разводе, о гадине&amp;#039;&amp;#039; и т. д. Тем не менее я очень радуюсь, что не взял с собой работы! Мне очень полезно полениться немножко. Вчера совершил поездку в одно из самых прелестных мест: на &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Скалу&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, и пил там чай. К сожалению, погода — &amp;#039;&amp;#039;швах&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, а именно: назойливый и довольно холодный ветер. Знаешь ещё, что меня бесит? Здесь буквально &amp;#039;&amp;#039;нет ландышей&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Я не вполне доверял утверждениям дворецкого, что во всем уезде нет ни одного ландыша, — но вчера в лесу, несмотря на самые тщательные поиски, не нашёл ни одного листочка. В &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Мариенгай&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, т. е. в одичалом древнем монастырском саду, находящемся вблизи дома, их тоже нет и в помине. Вообще меня поражает разница в флоре здешней и каменской. Все травы и цветы, произрастающие в Каменке в саду и в лесах, как-то: крапивы, цикории, лебеды и т. П., находятся и здесь, но здесь они колоссальных размеров, жирные и огромные. Зато сирень ещё не распускалась, а ландышей вовсе нет!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
В матерьяльном отношении так же хорошо, как и в прошлом году, т. е. великолепно сервированный обед с дивными закусками и винами, так что вчера я даже пьян был немножко. Но до чего меня стесняет служащий мне, впрочем, очень милый, дворецкий! Я все считаю долгом с ним &amp;#039;&amp;#039;говорить&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, но в прошлом году я имел неосторожность исчерпать все матерьяла для беседы с ним! Это отравляет мне мои здешние гастрономические удовольствия. Сплю великолепно. Дорогой я издержал такую массу денег, что мне не хватает на возвращение, и сейчас буду писать Леве о присылке 25 рублей, без коих нельзя будет тронуться отсюда. С грустью помышляю о том, что тебя не будет в Каменке! Половина удовольствия пропадает для меня вследствие отсутствия тебя и Коли. Сегодня буду думать о тебе вечером.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Знаешь чего недостаёт Браилову для того, чтобы наслаждение посещать его не сглаживалось от времени? Дом великолепен, роскошно обставлен, заключает в себе много дорогих предметов, — но он слишком нов. Все с иголочки, только что куплено, и притом в самом модном вкусе. Это пленяет взоры, — но ненадолго. Впрочем мне кажется, что я не совсем в своей тарелке и поэтому склонен к критиканству. Думаю, что стоит ветру перестать выть, сиреням распуститься — и я буду так же блаженствовать, как и в прошлом году.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Читаю с большим удовольствием попавшуюся в шкапу книгу, о которой не имел понятия: &amp;#039;&amp;#039;«Рассказы из польской старины» Карновича&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Вообще я выше оклеветал Браиловскую библиотеку, сказав, что все пересмотрено и перечитано. Читать есть что и очень много.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Алёша тоже на этот раз менее доволен, чем в прошлом году. Вчера жаловался, что не дают за чаем масла и что ему по вечерам надоедают беседы с дворецким. Сегодня поедем в мои любимый лес, и я всё-таки не теряю надежды найти ландыши. А засим, милый мой Модя, благодарю тебя за прелестный месяц сожития в Каменке, желаю тебе не скучать в Гранки не и обнимаю крепко тебя и Колю. Алине Ивановне кланяйся. &lt;br /&gt;
