"I am afraid to have my husband listen to things like that. You do have a new poem, don't you? Fyodor Konstantinovich is going to read us a poem," she proclaimed loudly, but Vasiliev, half reclining, having in one hand a monumental cigarette holder with a nicotineless cigarette, and with the other absentmindedly tousling the doll, which was executing all lands of emotional evolutions in his lap, nevertheless went on for a good half minute about how that gay incident had been investigated in court the previous day. "I haven't got anything with me, and I don't know anything by heart,"
Me da miedo que mi marido oiga cosas como ésta. Usted tiene una poesía nueva, ¿verdad?, Fiodor Konstantinovich va a leernos una poesía —proclamó en voz alta, pero Vasiliev, medio recostado, sostenía en una mano una monumental boquilla con un cigarrillo sin nicotina, y con la otra despeinaba distraídamente a la muñeca, que ejecutaba toda clase de evoluciones emocionales en su regazo, continuó explicando durante más de medio minuto que este alegre incidente lo había investigado el día anterior ante un tribunal. —No llevo nada encima y no sé nada de memoria —repitió varias veces Fiodor.
