The note was from Betsy, who reminded her that she (Betsy) was that day expecting Lisa Merkalova and the Baroness Stolz, with their admirers Kaluzhsky and old Stremov, to a game of croquet.
Il biglietto era di Betsy. Betsy le ricordava che quella mattina si riunivano da lei Liza Merkalova e la baronessa Stoltz coi loro corteggiatori Kaluzskij ed il vecchio Stremov per una partita di croquet.
