I dine, drink a little, and feel strong and full of spirits. I returned to Russia and had to be with my wife, and in the country besides, and in a fortnight I took to a dressing-gown and gave up dressing for dinner!
Sono arrivato in Russia; dovevo andare da mia moglie e poi in campagna; non ci crederai, dopo due settimane, mi son messo la vestaglia indosso, ho smesso di vestirmi per il pranzo.
