The fact is that Golitsyn has been pestering me for ages to visit the consul Ikskulsha; for some reason, [[Kondratyev]] never wanted this, and thought that Ikskulsha should really invite me herself, so that I could oblige her with my visit. It was only yesterday that I finally realised what was going on. [[Kondrashon]] was offended that Ikskulsha n&amp;#039;a pas recherché sa connaissance, and that she never invited him; Golitsyn is offended that the Bobrinskys ignore him. They have now poured out their &amp;#039;&amp;#039;dépit&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to the maximum regarding my visits to both houses. Yesterday a massive scene played out after dinner at &lt;del style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Golitsyns&lt;/del&gt;, in the presence of Lady Hamilton and several other persons. Both were so beside themselves that I feared for them both. Golitsyn &amp;#039;&amp;#039;suffoquait&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in the literal sense — he lost his voice from the excitement. But how comical [[Kondratyev]] was, both during the scene and after, when we were left alone, and he began to demonstrate me that &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Golitsyn&amp;#039;&amp;#039; wasn&amp;#039;t &amp;#039;&amp;#039;his&amp;#039;&amp;#039; society, that, without being haughty, he cannot help but be aware of his superior upbringing in comparison with Golitsyn&amp;#039;s vacuousness, etc. etc. The upshot is that [[Kondrashon]] is already sulking at me because I&amp;#039;m going to Ikskulsha&amp;#039;s today, and that &amp;#039;&amp;#039;l&amp;#039;entente cordiale&amp;#039;&amp;#039; has been greatly shaken. I can imagine you laughing and being astonished by &amp;#039;&amp;#039;my worldliness&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! I don&amp;#039;t understand how I have the fortitude to withstand this mad life! Naturally, I&amp;#039;m not in a good mood, and my stay in [[Rome]] has been poisoned, but I haven&amp;#039;t altogether lost heart, and still find it possible to enjoy &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Rome]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, albeit in fits and starts. Oh, what could be more awful, more unbearable and more stupid than &amp;#039;&amp;#039;société&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! Last night I was at Countess Sollogub&amp;#039;s (Bode&amp;#039;s daughter, Fedya&amp;#039;s wife); I was terribly bored, but I hid this heroically, and what do you think Bodishina said to me when I said goodbye? &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;I don&amp;#039;t understand why you didn&amp;#039;t come to me earlier. I&amp;#039;m sure that after this evening you&amp;#039;ll regret that you wasted so much time before knowing me&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Textuel&amp;#039;&amp;#039;!

The fact is that Golitsyn has been pestering me for ages to visit the consul Ikskulsha; for some reason, [[Kondratyev]] never wanted this, and thought that Ikskulsha should really invite me herself, so that I could oblige her with my visit. It was only yesterday that I finally realised what was going on. [[Kondrashon]] was offended that Ikskulsha n&amp;#039;a pas recherché sa connaissance, and that she never invited him; Golitsyn is offended that the Bobrinskys ignore him. They have now poured out their &amp;#039;&amp;#039;dépit&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to the maximum regarding my visits to both houses. Yesterday a massive scene played out after dinner at Golitsyns, in the presence of Lady Hamilton and several other persons. Both were so beside themselves that I feared for them both. Golitsyn &amp;#039;&amp;#039;suffoquait&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in the literal sense — he lost his voice from the excitement. But how comical [[Kondratyev]] was, both during the scene and after, when we were left alone, and he began to demonstrate me that &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Golitsyn&amp;#039;&amp;#039; wasn&amp;#039;t &amp;#039;&amp;#039;his&amp;#039;&amp;#039; society, that, without being haughty, he cannot help but be aware of his superior upbringing in comparison with Golitsyn&amp;#039;s vacuousness, etc. etc. The upshot is that [[Kondrashon]] is already sulking at me because I&amp;#039;m going to Ikskulsha&amp;#039;s today, and that &amp;#039;&amp;#039;l&amp;#039;entente cordiale&amp;#039;&amp;#039; has been greatly shaken. I can imagine you laughing and being astonished by &amp;#039;&amp;#039;my worldliness&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! I don&amp;#039;t understand how I have the fortitude to withstand this mad life! Naturally, I&amp;#039;m not in a good mood, and my stay in [[Rome]] has been poisoned, but I haven&amp;#039;t altogether lost heart, and still find it possible to enjoy &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Rome]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, albeit in fits and starts. Oh, what could be more awful, more unbearable and more stupid than &amp;#039;&amp;#039;société&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! Last night I was at Countess Sollogub&amp;#039;s (Bode&amp;#039;s daughter, Fedya&amp;#039;s wife); I was terribly bored, but I hid this heroically, and what do you think Bodishina said to me when I said goodbye? &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;I don&amp;#039;t understand why you didn&amp;#039;t come to me earlier.

The fact is that Golitsyn has been pestering me for ages to visit the consul Ikskulsha; for some reason, [[Kondratyev]] never wanted this, and thought that Ikskulsha should really invite me herself, so that I could oblige her with my visit. It was only yesterday that I finally realised what was going on. [[Kondrashon]] was offended that Ikskulsha n&amp;#039;a pas recherché sa connaissance, and that she never invited him; Golitsyn is offended that the Bobrinskys ignore him. They have now poured out their &amp;#039;&amp;#039;dépit&amp;#039;&amp;#039; to the maximum regarding my visits to both houses. Yesterday a massive scene played out after dinner at Golitsyns, in the presence of Lady Hamilton and several other persons. Both were so beside themselves that I feared for them both. Golitsyn &amp;#039;&amp;#039;suffoquait&amp;#039;&amp;#039; in the literal sense — he lost his voice from the excitement. But how comical [[Kondratyev]] was, both during the scene and after, when we were left alone, and he began to demonstrate me that &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Golitsyn&amp;#039;&amp;#039; wasn&amp;#039;t &amp;#039;&amp;#039;his&amp;#039;&amp;#039; society, that, without being haughty, he cannot help but be aware of his superior upbringing in comparison with Golitsyn&amp;#039;s vacuousness, etc. etc. The upshot is that [[Kondrashon]] is already sulking at me because I&amp;#039;m going to Ikskulsha&amp;#039;s today, and that &amp;#039;&amp;#039;l&amp;#039;entente cordiale&amp;#039;&amp;#039; has been greatly shaken. I can imagine you laughing and being astonished by &amp;#039;&amp;#039;my worldliness&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! I don&amp;#039;t understand how I have the fortitude to withstand this mad life! Naturally, I&amp;#039;m not in a good mood, and my stay in [[Rome]] has been poisoned, but I haven&amp;#039;t altogether lost heart, and still find it possible to enjoy &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Rome]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, albeit in fits and starts. Oh, what could be more awful, more unbearable and more stupid than &amp;#039;&amp;#039;société&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! Last night I was at Countess Sollogub&amp;#039;s (Bode&amp;#039;s daughter, Fedya&amp;#039;s wife); I was terribly bored, but I hid this heroically, and what do you think Bodishina said to me when I said goodbye? &amp;quot;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;I don&amp;#039;t understand why you didn&amp;#039;t come to me earlier. I&amp;#039;m sure that after this evening you&amp;#039;ll regret that you wasted so much time before knowing me&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;quot;. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Textuel&amp;#039;&amp;#039;!

So that you can understand how great the difference is between this stay and last year&amp;#039;, suffice it to say that out of 7 days of the week, I&amp;#039;ve only dined at home once. The morning of the day after tomorrow we&amp;#039;re leaving for [[Naples]]. Tomorrow there&amp;#039;s a second dinner at the Bobrinskys.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Anyway, Ikskulha (about whom [[Nikolay Kondratyev|Nikolay Dmitryevich]] cannot speak without foaming at the mouth), turned out to be a most sympathetic and kind woman. I&amp;#039;m in great turmoil. In an hour, i.e. at one o&amp;#039;clock, I have a rendez-vous with {{...}} &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, and dinner at 8 at the Bobrindskys.

До чего мне хотелось бы, милый Модя, рассказать тебе бесконечно комические эпизоды в отношениях Кондратьева и Голицына, происшедшие вследствие моей &amp;#039;&amp;#039;светской&amp;#039;&amp;#039; жизни. Дело в том, что Голицын давно уж приставал ко мне, чтобы я побывал у посланницы Икскульши; Кондратьев же этого почему-то ни за что не хотел и находил, что Икскульша должна чуть ли не сама ко мне приехать, чтобы я осчастливил её своим посещением. Только вчера я наконец понял, в чем дело. Кондрашон в обиде, что Икскульша n&amp;#039;a pas recherché sa connaissance и что никогда не звала его; — Голицын же в обиде, что его игнорируют Бобринские. Свой &amp;#039;&amp;#039;dépit&amp;#039;&amp;#039; они теперь и излили во всем объёме по поводу моих посещений того и другого дома. Вчера произошла крупная сцена после обеда у Голицына, в присутствии леди Гамильтон и нескольких других лиц. Оба были до того вне себя, что я за обоих боялся: Голицын &amp;#039;&amp;#039;suffoquait&amp;#039;&amp;#039; в буквальном смысле: — у него пропал от волнения голос. Но до чего был комичен Кондратьев и во время сцены и после, когда мы остались одни и он мне стал доказывать, что &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Голицын&amp;#039;&amp;#039; не &amp;#039;&amp;#039;его&amp;#039;&amp;#039; общество, что, не будучи самолюбивым. он не может же не сознавать своего превосходного развития в сравнении с пустотой Голицына и т. д. и т. д. В результате же вышло то, что Кондрашон на меня уже дуется за то, что я еду сегодня к Икскульше что &amp;#039;&amp;#039;l&amp;#039;entente cordiale&amp;#039;&amp;#039; сильно пошатнулась. Воображаю, как ты смеёшься и удивляешься &amp;#039;&amp;#039;моей светскости&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! Я не понимаю каким образом у меня хватает сил переносить эту безумную жизнь? Конечно, я не в духе и моё пребывание в Риме отравлено, — но ещё не совсем пал духом и нахожу возможным даже урывками наслаждаться &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Римом&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. О société, что может быть ужаснее, несноснее и глупее! Вчера вечером я был у Графини Соллогуб (дочь Боде, жена Феди), страшно скучал, но геройски скрывал это, и как ты думаешь, что мне при прощании сказала Бодишна? «&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Не понимаю, отчего Вы раньше ко мне не пришли. Я уверена, что после этого вечера Вы раскаиваетесь, что потеряли так много времени, прежде чем узнали меня&amp;#039;&amp;#039;». &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Textuel&amp;#039;&amp;#039;! Она меня жалеет!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Чтобы их всех черт побрал! Чтобы ты мог понять, как велика разница между этим и прошлогодним ,пребыванием, то достаточно сказать, что я из 7 дней недели только раз обедал дома. Послезавтра утром уезжаем в Неаполь. Завтра второй обед у Бобринских.&lt;br /&gt;

Был вечер у Икскулей с гостями, графами, князьями, дипломата, и я &amp;#039;&amp;#039;играл очень много&amp;#039;&amp;#039;!!! Господи, до чего я дожил! Впрочем, Икскульша (о которой Н[иколай] Дм[итриевич] говорит не иначе как с пеной у рта), оказалась очень симпатичной и милой женщиной. Я в большой суете. Через час, т. е. в час, у меня rendez-vous с (...) &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;note1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;, а в 8 обед у Бобринских. Завтра уезжаю в 9 ч[асов] утра. Обнимаю и целую тебя и Колю.&lt;br /&gt;
