He&amp;#039;s a fine and kind fellow, but why doesn&amp;#039;t he prefer the climate of [[Naples]] to that of [[Rome]]? If that were the case, I&amp;#039;d be having dinner at home. This is how much of a recluse I&amp;#039;ve become: in anticipation of Golitsyn&amp;#039;s dinner, my legs are aching, just as they do before some new piece of mine is performed in public. Anyway, dinner at his is splendid, but I&amp;#039;m already starting to tire of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;table d&amp;#039;hôte&amp;#039;&amp;#039; cuisine. I&amp;#039;ve received a nice letter from &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Nata]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Yesterday I received news from [[Nadezhda Filaretovna]]. She is in [[Brailov]] and very happy to be home.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

I was rather fed up with the noise of the city; I wanted to go somewhere out of town; we went after lunch, and what happened! The noise, the roar of carriages and carts, the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;beggars&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (this plague of [[Rome]]) was even greater than in the city. Meanwhile the weather is so divine that one is drawn to go somewhere in the country. Secretly in my soul today I longed for [[Kamenka]], for [[Clarens]], and for silence and solitude in general. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

For example, two days ago we did a walk that simply delighted me; namely, we first went to the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, then to another church (San-Pietro in Vincoli), which has Michaelangelo&amp;#039;s famous statue of &amp;quot;Moses&amp;quot;, and from there to the Coliseum; we climbed to the very top and watched the amazing sunset. Yesterday, I went to the Capitol, and inspected all the statues of the emperors in detail; this was remarkably interesting to me, since I&amp;#039;m reading &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Ampère&amp;#039;&amp;#039;{{&amp;#039;}}s excellent book &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;L&amp;#039;Empire Romain à Rome&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;, which sets out in detail the extremely lively and interesting characteristics of the emperors.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

This should have been very cheerful and pleasant, had it not, due to [[Modya]]&amp;#039;s imprudence, been necessary to invite Masalitinov, and as a result of this — Golitsyn, and as a result of this — the painter &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Djulio&amp;#039;&amp;#039; who lives with them, and as a result of this — a young man &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Amici&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, who accompanies him on the mandolin. Thus, a whole throng has been assembled, the very thought of which makes me shudder. Each of us four will be giving gifts to the other three, not excluding [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]] or [[Alyosha]]. These gifts are kept secret from one another, and you can just imagine our frequent mysterious  appearances and disappearances from each other. Even golubchik [[Nikolay Konradi|Kolya]] went into town alone today to buy gifts. He&amp;#039;s taking the secrecy very seriously.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

He&amp;#039;s a fine and kind fellow, but why doesn&amp;#039;t he prefer the climate of [[Naples]] to that of [[Rome]]? If that were the case, I&amp;#039;d be having dinner at home. This is how much of a recluse I&amp;#039;ve become: in anticipation of Golitsyn&amp;#039;s dinner, my legs are aching, just as they do before some new piece of mine is performed in public. Anyway, dinner at his is splendid, but I&amp;#039;m already starting to tire of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;table d&amp;#039;hôte&amp;#039;&amp;#039; cuisine. I&amp;#039;ve received a nice letter from &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Nata]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Yesterday I received news from [[Nadezhda Filaretovna]]. She is in [[Brailov]] and very happy to be home.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Сегодня я не в Духе, и без всякой серьёзной причины. Мне немножко надоел городской шум; захотелось пойти куда-нибудь за город; мы и пошли после завтрака, и что же оказалось! Шуму, грохота экипажей и телег, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;нищих&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (этой язвы Рима) ещё больше, чем в городе. А между тем погода такая дивная, что так и тянет куда-нибудь в деревню. В тайне души я вздыхал сегодня о Каменке, о Кларане, вообще о тишине и безлюдий. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Но жаловаться на Рим никак нельзя. Например, третьего дня мы сделали прогулку, которая просто восхитила меня; а именно, пошли мы сначала в церковь S[an]ta Maria Maggiore, потом в другую церковь (S[an]-Pietro in Vincoli), где знаменитая статуя Микель-Анджело «Моисей», а оттуда в Колизей; забрались на самый верх и смотрели на восхитительный заход солнца. Вчера я ходил в Капитолий и подробно рассматривал статуи императоров; это имело для меня капитальный интерес, так как я читаю превосходную книгу Ampèr&amp;#039;а «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;L&amp;#039;Empire Romain à Rome&amp;#039;&amp;#039;», где подробно излагаются в высшей степени живые и интересные характеристики императоров.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Завтра у нас будет ёлка. Это было бы очень весело и приятно, если б, вследствие неосторожности Моди, не пришлось пригласить Масалитинова, а вследствие этого — Голицына, а вследствие этого — живописца &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Djulio&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, который у них живёт, а вследствие этого — молоденького юношу &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Amici&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, который недавно восхитил меня прелестным исполнением народных песен, а вследствие этого — и брата &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Amici&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, который ему аккомпанирует на мандолине. Таким образом, составился целый раут, одна мысль а котором приводит меня в трепет. Каждый из нас четырёх делает остальным трём подарки, не исключая ни Коли, ни Алёши. Подарки эти держатся в секрете друг от друга, и ты можешь себе представить, какая у нас теперь царит таинственность появлений и исчезновений друг от друга. Даже Коля голубчик сегодня один ходил в город накупать подарки. Его эта секретничанье крайне занимает.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Сегодня обедаю у Голицына, который возвратился из Неаполя. Он хороший и добрый малый, но зачем климат Неаполя не предпочитает он римскому? Если б так была, то я бы обедал дома. Вот какой я стал дикарь, что вследствие предвкушения голицинского обеда у меня. ноют ноги, вроде того, как это бывает перед исполнением какой-нибудь новой вещи моей в публике. Впрочем обед у него отличный, а мне {{und|table d&amp;#039;hôt}}&amp;#039;ная кухня уже начинает надоедать. Получил милое письмо от &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Наты&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Вчера получил известия от Н[адежды] Ф[иларетовны]. Она в Браилове и очень довольно, что очутилась дома.&lt;br /&gt;
Крепко целую и обнимаю. Володю тоже.&lt;br /&gt;
